These days, I'm inclined to tell people, regardless of the product category, that if they like what they see, if it has the features they want, and the price works for them, then just get it and enjoy.

I don't know what exactly it is you are looking for in a TV, but depending on what is and isn't important to you, a couple of reasons to not get that particular model would be that it doesn't have local dimming, so among other things it will have mediocre or worse HDR performance, and it has poor motion handling, so there will be some blur in fast moving scenes and sports. Not that it's a bad TV or anything - seems like it's considered slightly above average in its class - but those appear to be that model's biggest weaknesses.
