I think these are better deals than the recently expired RCSS Westinghouse, Skyworth, and RCA options at similar price points. The main difference is these are 4K UHD HDR vs the OLED offering, you need to do your own research to see if these are ideal for yourself.

I did a quick StockTrack search and there are a few in the lower mainland, haven't checked anywhere else outside BC. If they're available online, they should be available in your province. Those looking to upgrade or something, this might be a viable option for now... until the next deal comes to play at the same price point. Again, I think these are better than the RCA, Skyworth, and Westinghouse offerings.

Of course, I could get the Roku version and hook my Shield up to it but that defeats the purpose of having an Android TV (ie. one less piece of hardware)...

DougO wrote: ↑ Last Roku I had was a 3. Free stuff like Plex and Pluto is available. Ditto with TizenOS from Samsung. Tired of getting new apps from Turkey or Asia. No one is writing for that system. There were some IPTV apps on Tizen but they don't seem to get updated so the authors have seemingly abandoned that platform. Can't say much about Roku other than that company continually tried to get me back with special deals on their latest hardware. But with a full Android ecosystem I no longer have a need for the RokuOS. I don't need grey or black market stuff either but you can't beat the Google Play Store or what you can get for Android TV. Roku is the best selling platform for people who want simple. Press a button and you are there. I'm well past that stage...

Is this a good buy and upgraded to my current TV?

bjcheung77 wrote: ↑ @mkannuri Hmm, it's not really an upgrade if you're going for the 55" or 65", it's about equivalent to both as they're 4K UHD... Basically, It really depends on the person, I would keep the TV for now until another deal comes into play. Most likely later this year by BF/CM, there will be a better deal for those who can wait. This TV is for those who can't wait or need the upgrade promptly, such as their older 32" or 40" TV is on their last legs and need an immediate replacement.

There are a few things that can cause issues, the best thing to do is actually restart your TV and router, if that doesn't fix it, try another WIFI connection such as your phone hotspot to see if it connects without issues for a while and monitor it... Last but not least, find the device on the router, instead of having it set to auto change from 2.4ghz to 5ghz, for the device having issues, if it is close to the router, set it specifically to 2.4ghz, if it's farther set it to 5ghz and not at auto.
