Looking for a new smart TV

Unless you go high end, most brands are VERY similar these days.
They're probably made at the same factory and just relabeled.

I've gotten to where I prefer Roku (or Apple, Fire Stick, etc.) over the smart tv. Roku just has more apps, updates them more regularly, and has been more stable in my experience. I am using Samsung smart tvs that are a several years old, though, so maybe their platforms are better now. Before I went to Roku I thought our living room tv had screwed up because the smart TV froze on the loading screen and not even turning it off would fix it. It did "fix itself" eventually, but I had already decided to go with Roku because of it. If it messes up, I just buy a new Roku.

I would suggest upgrading your apple box and buying a cheap 4k tv

This. We have two of them, and will be adding a third in my home office soon. I've got the 50 inch in the living room, and 43 inch in the bedroom. Probably another 43 for the office since it isn't very deep.

This is the type we have, and for the price, the picture is great and the smart features are as well. Samsung smart TVs also come preloaded with a ton of internet channels that are free. Old movies and TV shows, game shows, Bob Ross channel, nature shows, kids programs, news channels etc.

I'm just here to say that the Roku app is a whole lot more user friendly than the FireStick app. I have no idea where the remote is for the Roku TV in the bedroom, but I don't ever want to lose the remote in the den with the FireStick.

58" Roku TV- $238

No real TV rec but I think you are going to find that running a dedicated outside streaming device will still be far superior to almost any integrated TV streaming software.

Samsung TV, Google TV, etc just aren’t as good as Roku TV, Apple TV, etc and a lot of TV streaming software is just clunky and slow. Focus on the TV picture specs and just get a Roku box.

Huge TVs are so cheap and similar these days it's worth it to just basically get one of the cheapest ones you can find and ride that one until it craps out and then rinse, repeat.

My experience using the TV apps is they are slow response. I would replace the Apple TV box. Also the TV maker is not going to support updates to the software after awhile.

TCL QM851G. Get Onn 4k box. Tivimate and IPTV. You'll be set.
