I picked it up yesterday and although have not used it too much, I can still say that this is a pretty good TV for its price. The setup is very easy and the TV's Roku OS setup was also quite quick.
Although the Roku apps for HBO NOW and Amazon themselves are a bit weird to use and not very intuitive and lag a little. I was disappointed with the Spotify app since it needs a premium account and can't be used otherwise. I am used to using them on the XBOX and they much more fluid and responsive on it.
I was also able to setup both Xbox and the cable set-top box very easily on the HDMI inputs. and it recognizes the input immediately. Although in the cable input, the picture that i was getting was 4:3 instead of 16:9. I am not sure why that is. (If someone can help in this regard it'd be great)
The search function on Roku is very good. The picture quality of the TV is excellent and sound is quite decent. I have put it in my bedroom and don't need to turn it up beyond 25-30%.
I will continue to update this review over the next few days as I keep using it.

Update 1
June 27, 2016
So the apps that I was talking about in the review aren't difficult to get around. You get used to them. I was also able to fix the aspect ratio of the cable input. That needs to be done in the cable box settings and turned it all the way upto 1080p for which the default aspect ratio was 16:9 and now everything looks super sharp and awesome. The volume depends on the channel input. for the sports channels it sufficed me to have it at 10-15% but for tv shows which had muffled dialogues, I was having to turn it all the way upto 60-70%, which isnt too bad either.
