I ended up purchasing the 55" TCL 5 S535 version locally instead, so I could take it back same day and scream at people if need be. It is slightly bigger than I wanted, but still manageable.
The picture quality is great on both models, as they have the exact same panel and internal electronics. It is excellent for video gaming, and the Roku streaming services are amazing. I mounted the TV to a VESA compatible PERLESMITH Universal TV Stand Table Top TV Base (B07XLMQ39D) as I dislike the metal feet and do not have a very wide entertainment console, this worked perfectly.
I hooked a Mohu ReLeaf antenna to the TV and picked up ~35 local channels in rural Idaho, with several hundred free channels from the built in streaming services as well, all seamlessly integrated into the process. The device also hooked up to my Google Assistant enabled smart home, however the TV does NOT support Chromecasting, and will require a Google Chromecast at a later date.
The Roku Remote Control is easy and intuitive, with the only criticism I have being that the remote has 4 buttons dedicated to streaming services that I do not use, and they cannot be remapped (swapping Disney+ for Amazon Prime Video, for example.) But this is not a huge deal.
The big takeaway I would have with this experience is: 1. A non-zero number of these TVs are arriving in bad shape when they arrive. Open and test them immediately. 2. There is a "panel lottery" as the QA process on all TVs is not perfect. Even with the good 55", the 4 corners of the screen are slightly darker, but this is just a reality of this kind of display. 3. Amazon's return process was aces the entire time, although they will want photos handy; I suggest uploading them someplace like imgur or google photos or apple's icloud so they can be readily shared.

The sound is what I would expect from a thin, light TV like this. Not a lot of bass, not a lot of midrange power & clarity. For the price of this TV you can add a good sound system and still be ahead pricewise. But currently we're watching it without added sound and it's good enough not to be annoying.
It's surprising how light such a big TV is. I will be mounting it, and while I know I "should" have help, I probably will do it alone and won't worry. I'm in my 60's in (at best) half decent shape but I don't work out, so you don't need to be an athlete to pick this up. Small, slight people would have trouble.
BTW we got this TV because we were very happy with the Roku TCL 55" we got 3 or 4 years ago but need to replace due to moving. The Roku app works fine. My wife says it's a little slow to start a new app; I haven't noticed that. If 5 or 10 years from now the internal Roku just can't handle it due to new software always needing more CPU horsepower or memory, I'll spend $30 and get a Roku stick. Meanwhile it's nice to have just one zapper to do everything.
I knocked one star off of "remote" simply because the remote does not have a microphone. You can probably do that using the Roku app.
The Roku app isn't the greatest, though; it can't handle certain things if your phone has lots of pictures. (I'd like to set up my photos for screensave mode and the app has that feature but it doesn't work because my phone has too many pictures.) But that's not TCL's fault.
The ROKU Tv feature is nice. Having constantly updated software and apps. I have an Apple TV plugged in as well as a cable box in hdmi ports 1 and 2. Soundbar with optical cord. The tv is Easy to use once you get used to the funky remote. Volume buttons on the side (not needed with soundbar) and no numbers. There is not a push to talk feature which is unfortunate but I believe I’d you download the app on your phone it is possible. I spent the thanksgiving weekend watching many different shows and movies. This TV delivers across the board. It would be hard to find something with this performance for the same price. I hope it continues to preform well and does not burn out or break.
