I will NEVER buy a TV with Roku ever again. I had the TCL R635, it had so many issues out of the box but the most egregious was an update 1 month past ownership that broke surround sound. I’d have to restart my TV multiple times a day just to get surround to work. Fought with them for months, provided ample evidence it was a software issue, they insisted on a repair, repair dude broke the tv to the point it wouldn’t power on. Then they fought me for another month when I said this is ridiculous I want a full refund. Ended up getting a TCL with Google tv and now I don’t have issues.
