Pros
Great price.
Excellent black levels.
The Roku experience is familiar and very easy to use.
Cons
There's a burnt out LED section at the bottom of the screen, so bright scenes have a big shadowy dead spot a few inches in size. Showed up after a year and we've just lived with it.
There's some odd yellowy shadowing along the left and right sides several inches wide and the entire top to bottom.
Like all Roku TVs you get a basic, Fischer Price child's remote with few buttons and little functionality.
There's no way to see the current resolution and refresh rate when using any native Roku apps. This can only be done for inputs like HDMI.
The app store is severely lacking compared to an Android based TV.
Some things are very laggy like apps. Roku menus are generally snappy. This is expected for the price, but something to be aware of.
60Hz does not work as well as a native 120Hz TV when it comes to motion smoothing. I get a lot of stutters, blurry pans, etc with this TV despite the settings used. I specifically bought this because Rtings said this was one of the best TVs to eliminate blur and stutters, but this may only apply to 24fps content. Basically nothing on Youtube or any other popular apps.

55" is now $369. Probably too late to get a price match but I'll look into it. Oops, it says return period ended Jan 14, 2023.
I was looking at the Hisense U6H and TCL s555 when I made my purchase. Ratings gave the edge to the TCL and I like the Roku platform better.
Please expand on your response and the point of it?
This should be good

Then you try to use some comparables that
1. Only available in certain regions
2. No local dimming and no HDMI 2.1
Ever heard the saying " the devil is in the details"?
Its easier when you dont compare apples and oranges...

Two fairly recent deals.
If someone wants to hold out for something like these to come back around, then by all means. But a lot of you need to stop telling people what they should and shouldn't want/expect when there's been precedent.

The TCL 6 series R655 was a great deal though.

And unless you read the persons mind you dont know what all he is looking for
