>>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 havent 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, Ive got a Fire stick I got when it was yet to be issued ($19) but its slow ... torn between this TV (same price BB/Walmart/Amazon right now) or.a Roku box.
The box is nice in that its independent of the TV; the TV you cite integrates OTA right in with the streaming channels for a seamless experience.
The reviews suggest its 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 youre 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 doesnt have to be expensive.
