>>I wish I could cut cable but my TV is an older TV that does not allow streaming. I hope to get a job (still haven’t got one) and save to afford a new modern TV that I can down stream from my modem.<<

We ‘cut’ just this week. After a trial run with a leftover 2-bay antenna pulled in all the locals, I bought a J mount ($12) and a 4-bay antenna with VHF ‘sticks’ ($20) and now get 39 OTA channels.
For all the web stuff, I’ve got a Fire stick I got when it was yet to be issued ($19) but it’s slow ... torn between this TV (same price BB/Walmart/Amazon right now) or.a Roku box.
The box is nice in that it’s independent of the TV; the TV you cite integrates OTA right in with the streaming channels for a seamless experience.
The reviews suggest it’s a pretty good if basic 4K HDR TV; the $600 one has local lighting for better contrast plus the remote with the earphone jack for quiet listening, but then you’re in ‘serious TV’ money albeit far less then OLED beasts.
For the prior poster with the older TV, the ‘Roku Express’ ($30) or ‘Roku Express +’ ($40, with composite outputs for the pre-HDMI TVs) might be just the thing. “Only” 1080p but $30; it doesn’t have to be expensive.
