It’s a beautiful TV, but it only supports HDR 10, static HDR? No Dolby Vision? Even $279 TCL 43” 4K tv’s offer Dolby Vision. Why pay more than twice as much for a color profile that’s only set once at the beginning of a program? Even HDR 10+ would make it a good deal. This seems unreasonable.

BrklynRedI'd double check RTINGS since the price does depend on features as well as how well the TV processes images in high-speed shots or motion blur performance on sports or video games. They even have recommendations for the best TV at whichever media consumption option you use most (for me it's video games, then movies and TV, then sports last).
This TV was likely produced before TCL's Roku based TVs were worth anything more than just being an all in one set with little need for any other smart streaming devices, hence the bloated smart TV price. Now TCL makes decent TVs across the board for gaming (my preferred use, played on one at an AirBNB that I couldn't really distinguish from other TVs I have gamed on) so TCL is pushing price, performance, and value not needing another box unless you have an nVidia shield, Apple TV, Samsung (proprietary casting), or Google Chromecast app that Roku doesn't support.
I do wish they made the same models without the bloated smart TV price, since most of the time a separate box device performs and responds better than built in apps.
