43” is the smallest for a 5 series. It would be miles better than a Fire TV.

I think I got my wires crossed flipping around on Rtngs. I currently have a 43" and was thinking of going bigger to 50". Ratings are better for the 50" 5 series. I'm still trying to decide if I really want to go 50". Even though the marks are much better for the 5 series, I would probably be okay with the 4 series. My distance to the tv won't change. I gotta look at this more before settling on which size.

I stand corrected. I had checked BB & did not see the 43" size listed.

Do the newer models have an issue with blinking screens?

I thought I fixed the problem but it still happens.

The 5 series will be like last years mini led 6 series. Or I might just buy the 2021 Hisense 65U8G model.

I've been watching this model. Amazon has it for $499, at least for right now. I'm thinking of nabbing it before it matches BB.

They won't abandon Roku, but it's a good move to add Google as an option. Also cool is that the Google enabled TV's also include HDR10+.

The Series 6 Google OS versions have HDMI 2.1 (2 I believe), 120Hz, VRR whereas the Roku OS does not. Series 5 also does not have any of this.
So weird.

I see Walmart will be having a 55" TCL on sale for $228 on November 3rd - 7th. They list it as model 55S21 so presume it may be a special model exclusive to Walmart perhaps. Does anyone have an opinion on this model?

I firmly believe we will see those prices again, but I have no idea when. Supply chain is still greatly jacked up. Probably stabilize in the next 3-5 years - provided nothing else messes with it.

It’s a Series 4 model. Here are the TCL specs for it. TCL alters and gives chain stores like Wal-Mart and Costco their own model numbers, but they’re mostly just a digit or letter off from the regular model names.
