Samsung 55. It all started when my Roku device was being slow on my current non-smart TV, likely because it wasnt compatible with connecting to the 5GHz network. So my plan was to get a smart TV that has Roku built inside and could connect to 5GHz. Except when I got to Best Buy, I learned that the only TVs that have Roku built inside are some bottom-tier brand TCL kinds.

So I then learned that Samsung has its own version of Roku built inside called Tizen. Quick research showed that Tizen is slightly inferior to Roku? So my plan is to try out Tizen and if I dont like it then I will get an upgraded version of Roku to plug into the new TV.

Some of the TCL TVs are pretty good. Their highest end TV line is one of the best budget TVs. Probably spies on you but hey it's affordable

ehhh seems average

I usually think about gaming before watching TV or Movies when it comes to buying a TV and this wouldn't be one I would get.

not in the market for one right now, but I would pick a Samsung because they've always been good to me. Looks like this is the best current one right now for gaming although it's like twice what you paid for the one you got

Why is it worth twice as much for the same size?

I mean, why is a Lamborghini more expensive than a Civic for the same 4 wheels?

Yeah a budget TV disguised as a QLED. They ripped all the features out of the q60 models a couple years ago.

Impulse buying a TV is a bad idea.
