There are lots of things you need to know before buying a smart TV & the OS on your smart TV will define its interface and software capabilities

How is Apple TV not on this list? It’s miles ahead of the competition in every way

This is only going through TV OSs, not stand alone hardware.

I just plug my laptop into the TV. Works and looks great.

Idk Hisense recently updated their TVs and it’s been fucking with my Shields pretty bad. Going to try downgrading to the oldest, dumbest OS the TV will allow and keeping it disconnected from the internet. Still love the Shield

None. Any “smart” TV won’t be upgradable. It might get a few software updates but it will eventually be incapable of being updated enough to function as it used to with changes in services and codecs.

I have Roku and Fire devices, even on the “smart” TV. When the device isn’t enough anymore I can just replace the device for like 20 bucks, not so for the built-in software on the TV.

And the TV itself doesn’t get Internet. Shouldn’t need a direct connection.

That’s like asking ‘what’s the best nut to get kicked in?’
