This seems like normal price for this TV as there were many like this selling for $150-$230 around Black Friday. These basic 55" 4K TVs used to be a $400 MSRP product but any price over $250 doesn't look enticing anymore.

I bought this exact TCL Android TV for $200 at BestBuy on Black Friday and the identical one with Roku TV from Walmart for $150. $300 looks more like regular price than a sale now.

A quick search of the forums by model number indicates this TV was 200 on BF and has been 250 a few other times. I wouldn't really call this a "deal" unless you NEED a 55 right now.

GME to the mooooooooooooon.

I picked up Roku version BF, this one is Chromecast if that matters to you. I prefer Roku since I have Comcast and it offers streaming app. Works seamlessly with surround sound setup. Only issue I had with this TV is that it sits low so my soundbar was covering the IR sensor causing remote response issues but my workaround was buying an IR repeater (cheap on Amazon) and now it works flawlessly. Solid TV for the price paid. Obviously not BF price but I would buy again at this price point.

Will this be any better than the 55S431? I got it(431) last week and I'm going to return it. Really bad flashlighting and edge bleed. I have a 49" TCL from a few years ago that doesn't have these issues, at least not as bad as the 55S431.

Have this tv when it was around the $200 mark..it's not bad for the price range..horrible angle view, sound is okay, notible android lag whenever I am binge watching. The color adjustment controls is not as good as I seen with the roku variant. Red ghosting on several shows.

Got this same s434 in the 65" size for $230 before BF. Got the $150 55" Walmart roku version you mentioned as well, though that was an "s20" i.e. made for BF only and WM exclusive to boot. I like them both but have more confidence in the "s434" (Android) or "S435" (Roku) as they're running those lines for a full year, at several retailers.

Really? In store or online?

I brought this in-store on 1/13. I already got a price adjustment when they dropped the price from $329.99 to $309.99.

Will Costco do a price adjustment for an online price vs. an in-store price?
