    Solved! Does model year matter if specs are identical?

    You recommend the TCL Roku TV 55p607. Best Buy is selling 2017 version of 65", same specs except screen size, at $499. Is there any reason to think the 2017 model wouldn't be just as good? It's called the "4 Series" versus the "6 Series" in the model you recommended. Thanks much
