Always go with a separate smart device than the chipset built in. It can only brick the tv if it's working. Don't update if you don't have to Smilie use the Roku etc
I've had over 10 smart TVs and always updated the software when they are available and have had no problem. Maybe a lot of the "bricking" comes from people that dont follow direction when they are updating. I prefer a manufacturer that update their software to fix things or add new features, than the manufacturer that doesn't care about their product after they got your money.
FWIW... same $899.99 at Costco... w/ 3 year warranty and HDMI cable...

Exactly. I have an older model TCL with Roku OS and still only use it with the external Roku device. TV software updates from all makers has been needlessly hit-miss and none take responsibility for problems/bricking.

I've bought dozens of TV's over the years. The only one I've regretted was the 75" TCL 4-series, purchased in 2019. The warranty was only 1 year, and just before the one year mark, the screen went black and would not power on. Went through the warranty process, which took a couple of weeks. Had a technician come out, where he confirmed that the panel itself had failed. He mentioned that this was VERY common for the TCL 4-series at the time and that I would have to get a replacement under warranty. Another week and they swapped out my TV with a "new" one (likely refurbished). That one failed, in the exact same manner is the first, about 13 months later. No warranty to bail me out this time.

I don't know if TCL has addressed this problem with reliability on their 4-series panels, but personally I would not buy another one. Also worth mentioning, the black uniformity on both sets was the worst I've ever seen on any LED panel. I lived with it but man it pissed me off every time I got to a really dark scene in a show/movie.
