Said no one ever. Roku sucks balls compared to Android tv. Stay in your lane JR
(Please do not comment on mobile system OS, only interested in TV users experiencesThankYou)
So here is the dilemma if you buy the TV now, you may not be able to get a price adjustment. This is because if the remaining inventory at your local Costco sells out before the next nationwide in-store only $50 off sale, your local Costco will not have this sale. Also you cannot price match online since the TV is no longer sold online.
If I don't get the $50 drop, not the end of the world, but I'll keep an eye on it. From what you're telling me though, it sounds like I can't just go to my closest Costco and ask for a price adjustment if they don't have it in stock, but actually have to go to one that does have it in stock. Anyways, appreciate the advice!

I have the 43S403 and LOVE it--great value for money, especially with the Roku built in, but what do I know?
Roku is lightweight because it lacks 90% of the features of every other smart tv interface and strips out the basic functions every TV should have, such as picture adjustments beyond simple presets. They also lock functions behind their stupid phone app, which works poorly and shoves ads in your face.
One main advantage of Android TV is the ability to side load apps that add tons of functionality, while still having all the apps you'd find on Roku. For instance, you can set up ad block and never have to watch a Hulu or YouTube ad ever again. There's also no web browser on Roku, while Android TV can run Chrome or Firefox.
If you find you don't like Android TV, you can always add a Roku box, which will undoubtedly be a lot less clunky than a built in Roku interface and cheaper than an external Android box if you had gone the other direction.

Sorry your feelings were hurt, but your own personal opinions shouldn't deter reality.
Your "shill" denigration is no way to have a civil conversation about the merits of a device's specs. The irony/hypocrisy of your comments eludes you, apparently.
