Amazon lists the 55 inch version for $774.99. If you click that green CapitalOne link on the webpage, it takes you to its comparison page in which it shows the Walmart.com listing.
For some reason, the math is wrong, its almost like as if they're are comparing the Amazon price after tax versus the Walmart price before tax + with the cashback.
So there can't possibly be a $157 price difference. I understand that.
What I am confused about is how the CapitalOneShopping page is showing that there's a 9% Cashback for this product.
When you click the link to go buy it at Walmart, the product page will show the CapitalOneShopping extension showing a 9% cashback. I took a screenshot of it:

But if you go to the details link to see the CapitalOneShopping page for Walmart, it only mentions a max 2% cashback, and that is only in select categories. For electronics its 0.5% cashback. There's no mention of a 9% cashback, but the extension clearly shows 9%.
I went ahead and got one through Walmart, to see if CapitalOneShopping is going to go through with the cashback. Odd thing is that I activated the cashback, and then went through checkout and completed the checkout, and it never gave me a confirmation, it still said "Activated" whenever I clicked the extension icon.
If you go to Amazon's 65 inch version of this tv (the OP's link) CapitalOneShopping doesn't even compare it to Walmart's listing.
Does anybody have any idea of when CapitalOneShopping confirms a transaction and shows its calculated cashback amount?
The Walmart.com listing for the 65 inch version also shows the 9% CapitalOne cashback, as well.

I have numerous Roku devices including 2 Roku TVs, one that is 5 yeas old and still gets updates. Not a since Roku that I use has ever had issues or needed resetting. We have also used the Fire devices, AppleTV, and the Google Chromecast with Google TV.
Also, TCL isn't switching to Google TV, they are going to continue using both.
We actually have more issues with the CCwGTV devices then any others.

Fair enough about using both OS, but again, I would avoid this unit based on my past experience with the brands Roku and TCL.
This doesn't matter to everyone. but "pq" standpoint, I'd say go for the 646.
Roku os is still the better choice for PC use. android system is a pita for changing settings/brightness

My Roku TV's just got the 10.5 update. You should at least have Roku version 10 on your tv which came out about 6 months ago.
Also from Roku's site:
Roku TV – All Roku TV models are expected to receive Roku OS 10.5.

Also, if you get the newest Google TV one, be sure to update it. People were having issues but looks like a patch has been released:
ALERT:
RESOLVED: Software issues with TCL 6-Series TVs featuring Google TV
With the launch of TCL's new 6-Series featuring Google TV, some users reported concerns about the stability of select streaming services. At TCL, we are committed to delivering premium products with world-class customer experience and therefore, with a new software update released to 6-Series TVs featuring Google TV in the week of September 12, 2021, the performance of this model now better reflects the excellent experience our customers are used to. Your television should update automatically, but if you would like to ensure you have the most recent software, click here to view step-by-step instructions on how to easily perform an update.
And sadly with the lockdown, it's had a lot of hours racked up on it. It was basically on all day since March 2020.
I was hesitant about buying a TCL but I have zero regrets at this point. It's not perfect but I still find myself being awed by the picture quality when the source is right.
