I agree with the rest of the comments. Get the TV you like and let the Roku do the smart part
You'll get way better app support going that route. Plus you can upgrade the Roku every few years to keep up with the latest and greatest hardware.

Agreed with this, we have a Roku and Chromecast. I prefer the Roku.

Amen. Buy a TV for its image quality. Make sure it has an input or two. . .

Yep, spend your money on the best quality image you can get. Then buy a $50-$100

Roku TV from Costco. Then get a soundbar and you are good to go.

TCL series 6 got good reviews. Not sure if there’s a newer model now

We just bought one. It's great. Probably the best bang for your buck out there. 65-in TCL for $730.

I was in this exact position last weekend. Loved my plasma tv. The new tech just can't do blacks the way plasmas can,

Our OLED blows away our Plasma. It's truly magnificent.

Yep, there is a reason that tech has been phased out, but there still seems to be that one thing that hasn’t been

Are you saying plasma has better blacks than OLED?

It doesn’t. We still have our 2012 plasma. And it’s great. But it looks gray

You literally can't get more black than oled unless you go to light capturing materials.

Plasmas also had true black.

Not really. Because the cells have to be precharged to have adequate response time they aren't truly black like an oled.

OLED can literally turn off pixels (giving you the truest black possible).

Don't worry about a smart TV.. get a Nice TV and ignore the 'smart' parts..

Echo the comments. Get a good 4K OLED (or at least something with HDR)

If we don't watch much TV, is it worth paying more for OLED vs regular LED?
