I bought the $188 one and it was trash. Straight-on viewing was ..ok... but anything at even a slight angle and it was awful. This is the 55S41 $188 on Nov 8 or thereabouts, that I'm micro-reviewing.
I took it back, and I'll keep using a 2010 Sony; the Sony was superior.
I have a TCL 55" 4 series since they dropped to $299… like back in 2017. Used in bedroom so it's only straight - on viewing, room isn't large enough to test wide angles. But we have been very happy with the TV at price paid.
Seems like Walmart Plus members will likely get them all, I'm not paying for the privledge to shop at Walmart, worth a shot to maybe get it but likely sold out before the rest of us can even get one.
So far, all the Walmart BF TV deals that opened to Plus members first have still had plenty left for everyone else when they go live.
someone a couple of days ago mentioned that if you want to just use it as a dumb tv to never connect it to the internet else it will complain that the internet is not working et. al.
so what if you want to pass a smart tv that has already been connected to the internet to someone that doesnt understand all its bells and whistles, like an elderly person. is it possible to totally hard reset a smart tv so that it thinks its never been connected to the internet before?

I've never had an issue, once they started putting apps with personal accounts on them they became easy to reset. At least everyone I've messed with has been.
But depending on the interface some will still bug you if you hit the wrong button. Almost need a simple remote with no app/menu shortcut buttons on it to be sure.

Couldn't pay me to take a Google/Android tv. Had a 85" Sony TV with that OS and most of the apps/OS was crashing all the time. Moved to a LG Oled and it's better with Web OS, BUT the most unstable apps on the TV are the google ones (Youtube TV & Youtube App).
I'm an Android phone user so nothing against Google, but they just can't figure out how to optimize their apps/platform on tv's for some reason (or just don't do enough testing).
Google software tend to need a lot of system resources...RAM, CPU, large and fast drive. I use ABD to kill a lot of the Google garbage ware that run in Android. Unfortunately, this is not possible (yet) with Google TV. As a result, a Google TV will exhibit slugging performance and the occasional lock up requiring restart. LG uses a much lighter operating system.

Good to know. I guess I'll stick with Roku TVs. I like their interface and the fact that their stuff never slows down over time.
Also, I've been wondering if Google TVs also support time shift by plugging in a USB drive?
"The Hisense R6090G is better than the TCL 4 Series/S435 2020. The Hisense gets brighter, has slightly better reflection handling, has a quicker response time, and lower input lag. However, the TCL has much better out-of-the-box color accuracy and much better gradient handling."
However the tcl 5 series is better and there is a Best Buy deal for $200 for a 55". So it depends if you want a bigger screen or a better quality smaller screen

Hisense was $448, slightly better & 10" bigger for $220 more
TCL 5 series was $399.99 ($200.00 + $199.99 total tech membership), quite better but 10" smaller for $171.99 more

Nope, total tech was not, in fact, necessary. I created an account and got the $200 price

I'll probably snag one of these 65" ones to use as an office monitor.
Also, I've been wondering if Google TVs also support time shift by plugging in a USB drive?
