Never buy new TVs and looking at Friday deals I see some nice 65" Samsung smart TVs for prices in the 400-500$ range. They get seemingly great reviews but then the expert reviews are awful. What am I missing? Here is one I'm looking at.

As far as LEDs go, this is a plain LED. The newer version is QLED, which has picture advantages. The newer versions of QLED also offer full-array LED, and micro-LED, which give advantages in the dimming control. This gives greater contrast, darker blacks, and brings the LED TVs closer to OLED TVs in contrast.
So its older technology, but really good deals. I am going to buy this TV, or one like this, for my patio, but get QLED or OLED for my living room.
The Sony OLED A95K is the best, but I don't want to spend $3k
Agreed.
I have 3 of these in my house including a 75 incher. They are great TVs for the price.

Samsung, Hisense, LG, TCL - How does one decide?
You're on the right track with these brands, just a little advice. Samsung is a high end brand, so you'll pay more even for their budget and black Friday barebones models. LG is a brand I love, but you're talking higher end money. I have an LG OLED.
Hisense and TCL are budget brands that pack decent features and represent good value. I own a TCL and just got a 55" hisense, model 55U6GR. It also comes in 65. Model #65U6GR. Best buy has it for 499 for BF. Usually 799. Reviews put this tv at 7.9/10 but great picture quality.
TCL series 5 and series 6 are well-featured top. The series 6 is TCL's high end flagship model.

I would go with a TCL. Most reviewers say it’s the best bang for your buck. Can get it with Roku or Google TV.

Got that one but in the 55". It was the last on amazon and Best buy was sold out. We'll see.
Hopefully it makes the Giants play better!
Another vote for the TCL 6 series. They offer a good feature set at a good price. I have 2 in my house.
