The U6GR5 uses a different panel and electronics than the U6G. Same panel manufacturer but different specs, see here [reddit.com] and here [reddit.com].
Rtings has also stated [rtings.com] that the U6GR5 is a "different TV" than the U6G they previously reviewed and have purchased this U6GR5 and is in their queue for a future review.
Lots of reports of halo effect from the FALD.

I am returning it tomorrow to Costco. It is so bad that even my wife who could care less said to get rid of it.
To get a better look at what I'm talking about I put the TCL 646 next to the u6gr5. This is one of my sons sensory videos. Actually one of the best tests for blooms I have ever seen. Look how bad the blooming is on the u6gr5 is! Unwatchable. https://i.imgur.com/8BpytD1.jpg The extra 250 is very worth it. You can even do the TCL 635 with the same panel if you want Roku. |

the better question is: how low of a framerate will the VRR still work? some of the cheap implementations are limited to a narrower range and thus not as useful.

HBOMax was having a similar beef with Roku when they launched. Since Roku makes up over one-third of all American streaming devices, they eventually worked a deal out.
Best Buy lists it as the same u6g tv but with Roku instead. It's a winner since I prefer Roku as the tv os and just ad a google tv box on anyway
I hooked it up last night and spent a couple hours on it.
First thing I noticed is how much faster the Roku experience is on this TV versus a 3 year old TCL Roku TV. Blazing fast.
The sound is very loud and feels like it is more forward facing on my TV stand than the old TCL TV. The stand is not against a wall so I wasn't getting audio reflection.
Colors are bright and vivid, everything looks crisp.
So far I'm very pleased with the television and love Costco's warranty and return policies. Recommended!
