Best buy one got QLED.
But, for this price range does it really have a decent q panel, or more of a marketing fluff...

Paid $235 for the 75" android version on a closeout.
Both TVs have been great though this ROKU version has a much better interface but has an IR remote which really is the only negative. (Maybe this has a better remote)
I use the 65" for my XBOX Series X, love it!

If I needed a TV for a room, though, I'd have no hesitation picking one of these up. Just go in knowing you're not getting top of the line specs, but I'd hope that's obvious given the price point.
One just has an annoying rolling line you can only see if the screen is a mainly a shade of gray. Started after 18 months or so. Good enough still for a bedroom or spare room.
The second made it a little over 3 years. One side of the screen intermittently flashes. There are plenty of fixes online for this, but they cheaped out on the design of this particular model.. so no good. Feel like I'm going to have a seizure while watching, so had to retire it.
1. If you go any smaller than 65", you're not making the most out of the benefit of 4K resolution. If you sit more than four feet away, your naked eye can't differentiate between 4K pixels for 4K content. On the other hand, if you go bigger than 65", the cost per square inch quickly rises. This 75" TV ($398) is 33% more screen area but for 75% more cost.

Finally, let's say your living room already has a 65" TV and you want to go bigger, Wouldn't your money be better spent getting another el cheapo 65" 4K TV into another room of your house?
2. As far as I can tell, you can rarely find a $228 - $250 65" 4K TV, new, outside of the Black Friday timeframe.
3. It seems like when people get the TVs shipped, they arrive cracked. I'm only working with a sample size of two here, but I bought a $250 Hisense TV from Best Buy on Black Friday 2020, and a $228 TCL TV very similar to this one from Wal-Mart on Black Friday 2022. Both times I used curbside pickup and had them load the TV into the back of my 2013 Ford Escape, screen side up (if anyone drives one, a 65" TV will fit with like one inch of width to spare). Both survived 20-30 minute drives home. Without getting too long winded, the point is if you have a car big enough to fit it, you should absolutely use curbside pickup instead of getting it shipped.
4. Let's be honest, these Black Friday TVs don't excel at quality or dependability. This is where getting the longest possible extended warranty comes in. As a general rule, yes, I do think extended warranties are scams, but in this one case I prefer to have it. You get a better deal on them on Black Friday because the price of a Geek Squad or All State warranty is usually based on the price you pay for the TV.
