What’s… The least crappiest TV os experience?
A smart TV with android/ android tv/ google TV/ those custom xiaomi/one plus/ moto/ Samsung or tizen or web os?
Or just a dumb TV + streaming stick?
The reason? I don’t want to be encumbered by “you can’t install this app” nonsense.
Something open or accessible at least
Get an AppleTV 4K. Use an app called Infuse to play back your video files from your local network/plex/jellyfin. Best Ui and remote on the market. No ads. No lag. No bullshit.
Connect it to an LG TV and disable the TVs internet connection and disable the Home Screen on startup. You basically have a dumb tv.
