My 75 year old parents bought the 65" version of this TV recently and have been really happy with it. It might be bottom of the barrel but it is way better than the old tv they upgraded from. They paid slightly over this price and bought it in store at Wal-Mart near the small town they live in. They wanted to see the picture before they bought it. I convinced them to add on a cheap soundbar with a wireless subwoofer and now their setup is pretty great for only spending about $500.
Nice deal if you're happy with bottom barrel on a 65". It's a better deal that similar bottom tier samsung's of course.
Personally, unless you're a college student, I'd try to get something with local dimming that you're gonna use everyday, since edge lit in 2023 isn't that fun.
Hisense u6hf on Amazon has hit $350 a couple times lately at 58", I bought that recently and think it's a much better deal -7". To each their own of course.
For perspective, as I remember Target sold the Android-tv version of the TCL 65 inch 4 series for $229 a little over two years ago, or about $218 after RedCard discount. I got used to electronics continuously offering more bang for the buck each year, but that seems to have slowed or stopped.

$229 for a $65 inch? That's wild! That seems like a good deal for the 55!

There's only so much resolution that is available -- 4K isn't all that common yet, and 8K is unheard of.
And prices have gone up. Economies of scale eventually hit a balancing point.

Yeah it was a pre black Friday sale in November 2020. It went on sale at 3:00 a.m. Eastern. So I set my alarm for 2:50 a.m. Eastern 3:00. I snagged one by 9:00 the next day they were loading it in my van
