We bought this TV as a replacement for our 40in Roku TV which has been acting up. We've only ever had TVs with a Roku and Roku TVs, so moving to a Google TV was new. We weren't planning on going much larger than 45 inches, but this 55 inch was at a great price, so we dove in. Compared to our other 55in TV, this one seems heavier and a bit bulkier, though it's not excessive.
I don't know a ton about all the technical specifications, but so far with this TV seems like a great mid-tier option at a fantastic price point for a 55in 4K TV. It is not the "best of the best", sound quality is about as "meh" as you can expect from any TV speakers and there is a weird bass-y sound resonance - however, sound is better than our previous TV. The remote is excellent. The remote is quick to respond and easy to use, backlit so it can be seen in the dark (HUGE plus!) includes a button for voice control, and works without direct line-of-sight. This is a big deal to us for our bedroom TV, and TV marketing never seems to mention the remote. I have returned TVs because they had a terrible remote. Overall we are very impressed with the TV for the price we paid. It's also nice having a hands-free Google Assistant built into the TV that works without the TV being on, for voice control of our smart lights.
I have used the FireTV interface sparingly and the Samsung and Roku Smart TV systems extensively. This is my first experience with Google TV and I am very happy with it. The only apps I miss from the Roku TV are the Comcast Xfinity Stream app and the Roku app which provides Roku original content. These aren't huge losses as the direct apps from the channels we watch (HGTV, ABC, Peacock (NBC), Fox) are available. However, this is a minus of Google TV and not this specific TV unit. I could always buy a Roku stick if I really need these apps.
The Google TV interface is amazing, curating all our services on the home screen in a cohesive non-annoying way. I really like the ability to have profiles on the TV itself for the kids as well, with only the apps we've added for them.
I haven't noticed any issues with the image. It's clear, clean - meets and exceeds all our needs and expectations. It's almost too bright sometimes, which is a good problem to have and easy to fix. The room it's in is darker most of the time, so our picture quality is great.
