Native Contrast 5,427:1 and without local dimming.
That's even better than some upper tier TVs
AND..... upper-tier TVs are NOT what they used to be....
You can buy a Roku or Fire stick for super cheap. You talk like using the TVs platform is mandatory or something. Purchasing a TV based off its operating system is probably the dumbest thing you could prioritize.
Agreed, buy it for the specs first and the OS second. You can always turn it into a "dumb" TV by launching to an HDMI port by default.
The only downsides I've found to Android TV are the slightly slower cold boot (if you have "fast tv start" enabled, Roku and Android start up the same) the fact that there's no native private listening mode on Android (easily rectified by the fact that Android sets have Bluetooth built in).
Other than that, it 100% comes down to the hardware the manufacturer decides to throw in it, which in many cases, is identical on both platforms (they're all using the latest ARM processors; the Roku TVs usually have less RAM available for user processes).
If you're into tweaking every available setting on your device, Android TV wins hands down.
Roku OS hides most of the advanced picture settings and locks you out of the manufacturer service menu, which is why hotel TVs with Roku can't be taken out of hotel mode.

Found this. Looks like it could be better. Ships faster and is available more areas.
Does anyone know the difference between these two? I notice a different model number
Sorry repeat of above msg.

Avoid TCL Series 4 if you can.
The processor is just not fast enough to decode 4K files or even run the interface without slowdowns.

I thought the TCL 75S434 at Amazon was a 2020 model? They list it as a 2021 model.
