hmm I think that's the same price I paid for this same TV last year. It's working great so far.

Same price as last year. I'm super happy with it. It's surpassed my expectations considering it was only $228 for 65" TV.

Hey guys,is worth paying more for a U6KR over a TCL Class 4 as a secondary TV?
Matters if.you plan on watching 4k videos (or gaming) on it or not. Its fine for 1080p and lower.

This is a great TV and I picked it up last year too. The picture is fantastic. We have a Optoma projector in the main room with a ton of windows, so we have to pull this out in the summer, or for the noon football games when it's too bright for the projector. The picture is great, and actually better than the projector when it comes to the black colors. The TV is also insanely fast to turn on. (weird fun fact)

The TV speakers are decent, but I prefer actual surround sound when it comes to movies, sports, PS5....well, anything. So I got a soundbar with a sub and 2 satellite speakers. I'm sure they'll be BF sales on speakers too, so with this TV you can have a helluva setup for around $300. This really is a great deal on this TV.

That sucks because I think it comes with a 1 year warranty.

I've bought numerous TCL TVs over the years and one of them (I think this model) had the screen die after a few months. I went without the use of that TV for about a week, which was a minor annoyance, but it was repaired at no cost to me under warranty.

Its basically a disposable tv. If it lasts 2 years I'll get value out of it. All our current 4k tvs are hisense and tcl from around 2017 and 2018. And still work although a bit laggy when loading apps and slow wifi on our roku tv

We paid $400 for our 65" TCL 4 series on Black Friday 4 years ago. Bought a square trade warranty, the tv screen just died a month ago. Received the money back that we paid. It was a decent enough TV but volume wasn't the best and the interface would glitch, especially Netflix. That said, for this price, I would do it again (with warranty) if we hadn't already moved on to the LF OLED series.
Did you get refunded the insurance cost too or just cost of tv?

This is a slightly newer model 65S41 last year vs 65S41R this year but I got it at this price last year and so far no complaints.

That's because it isn't actually turning off when you think you've turned it off. You have fast start enabled, which means you're actually putting the tv in a sleep state rather than turning it off.

For this price... dang - crazy what you get now days. It should last much longer than two years however.

So TCL sucks because of your sample size of ONE???
Quote from EngineerDude :
I've become convinced in the last few years that getting a $228 - $250 65" TV for Black Friday, using store pickup whenever possible, and getting the longest possible warranty is the way to go.

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.

https://slickdeals.net/f/17028958-75-hisense-75r6030k-r6-series-4k-uhd-smart-roku-tv-w-alexa-398-fre...

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.
Warranties always depend up on what they cost... I rarely if ever get warranties as I worked for an electronics manufacturer and understand statistics. IF electronics are going to fail, they almost always fail quickly - so I generally go with the statistics and don't buy one. Now if it's cheap enough... maybe. I've saved so much money over the years not wasting money on extended warranties I could buy many things over again. FYI... part of my job was determining costs - the profit margins we made selling people extended warranties was insane.

No, Roku has a developer mode you must enable through the web (no web access on tv)

I went through this to enable an IPTV service and although I was able to do it, it was a pain and they disabled the app within a month.

Wanted to add on the OS discussion.

-Apple TV, all around best for set it and forget it.
-FireTV, best for customization, cec control, side apps, etc. Also very good all around.
-Roku is also great out of the box, but will slow down over time. Probably newer updates incompatible with older hardware.
-Google- sticks are fine, TVs baked in systems all seem to have bugs that get addressed on updates, somewhat quickly.
-Nvidia shield, you'll never use the TV OS again.
-Web operating systems (tizen, LG, Google, etc) work as good as the manufacturer's service reputation. Again, based on compiling issues and pushing updates in a timely manner.
