I bought this TV in February from Best Buy for $1389+tax. Very happy with it.
Q: Does this tv support 120 hz?
A: Yes, but not at 4K. You can get 120 Hz at 1440p and 1080p.

Oh, I know. I'm just saying.
I must have rotten luck.
Do you have any citation for the "known" ROKU updates bricking TVs en mass?
This does not have HDMI 2.1 ports (4k @120)
As far as TCL and trustworthiness:
I bought one after friend's went 5 years with no issues, to replace a Vizio. Haven't been happier. In fact, I'm so happy, I went and bought another 2 more. One was a s6, the original 2 were s4's. All running like a dream. I have to say, I'm impressed with the quality of the TVs, and the product itself at the TCL cost

Check it out yourself... I had a roku tv and it bricked!!! Literally, out of no where it just goes into boot loop. You will see the latest comment in the below community.

I agree with most of what you wrote and also love my TCL Roku TVs. As a nitpick, I think the 90min recording is limited to the program you are watching on one channel, so not exactly 90 minutes of television, 90 minutes of one channel. For example, if you pause the football game you can't flip over to see the score in the other game with it paused.
I have a 2017 50in 4 series still kickin (knock on wood, pretty nice TV for what it is too) but TCL TVs are a complete total and absolute crapshoot. If you are lucky enough to get past their seemingly atrocious quality control, they're nice and a very good value. More common though unfortunately, you'll be happy with it for a year then it'll go ahead and just completely break at month 13 or whatever…
This seems to have a bit better specs but is TCL and not sure I will even utilize the extra brightness,

The main issue I have with the TV is the lag displaying the image. My setup was the following: Media Box (Apple TV, NVidia Shield) -> Sony Receiver (Sony STR-DN1080) -> this TV. The audio would be around 250ms ahead of the video. The receiver can delay the audio, but it's really close to the limit (300ms). Our previous Vizio P series (2017) didn't have that issue, nor does the LG C1 that replaced it.
I moved it up to another room, using ARC and a Sonos Arc. Seems to work fine in that configuration (Apple TV -> TV -> Arc).
