Honestly, just buy a whole new smart TV.
Firesticks are awesome and they work, and I have a bunch of them, but they are all laggy compared to a dedicated smart TV.

I've had a fire stick and a roku is better. More apps to access.
But cutting the chord these days means you'll end up paying for a bunch of apps.
Example - To watch the NFL you'll need YouTubetv or equivalent, Amazon prime video and Netflix.
This weekend the MLB team I follow had 3 games with the same team but each one was on a different app!
Good Luck.

100% disagree. TV interfaces and app updates were a matter of discussion at the party yesterday, everyone hates TV specific interfaces, and prefers Roku/Fire. Are you buying the Walmart exclusive $19 sticks and then complaining about performance not being on par with a $60 device?
Here is a brief breakdown; it looks like the 4th gen 4k and 3rd gen 4k max are about the sweet spot.

I've always bought genuine amazon fire sticks from amazon. To be fair the lag is always between the remote controls and the device itself. But it's annoying enough that I'll never buy another one.
Over the years, I've trashed all of them except 1, which is a firecube. And I only use that one as a second screen during football season.
