According to my best buy I was the first customer in that store to buy this TV. They didn't even have it on display when I went in the store so I bought it sight unseen. Yes price was the driving factor and it's better than expected.
Roku interface is great with a simple remote and tons of streaming options. Counting the TV this is my 3rd roku box in my house. Picture quality from Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, and Amazon is good. Hooking into my network was easy and I have had no issue with dropped signal or loss of quality using a 5gz network via a netgear nighthawk router.
I have DISH and this is the one downside. DISH is the issue, not the panel, with it's overly compressed HD. I do have the Hopper 3 that can output in 4k. VOD stuff from DISH looks pretty good.
Using an antenna gives me far better picture than DISH for OTA content. Blu Rays, steaming including local files via PLEX, are all great and the TV does a nice job of scaling. When reviewing these things people should keep in mind what they are using for source material.
4K content looks amazing, but do not expect the same job from SD to HD. Keep your expectations in check for what you see.
Like most flat panels the internal speakers are trash so I hooked it up to a cheap sound bar using the optical output and it made the sound a thousand times better.
I don't have an issue with blurring during sporing events etc, but the TV could handle it a little better. It's on par with most sub 1000 TVs so not a deal breaker.
My Best Buy number: 0398285645
I would recommend this to a friend!
