I finally gave up on my “smart” TV and bought a streaming box instead
If you have ever used a smart TV in your life, you know the pain I'm about to cry about. Smart TVs with Google TV or Android TV are available from almost every brand, but even after all these years, they still suffer from poor performance, basic navigation challenges, and limited discovery features. Even the relatively expensive models from the likes of LG and Samsung with first-party operating systems feel like they're begging you to bypass the software entirely and buy a streaming device. And that's exactly what I did a while back on my Hisense TV. I was already invested in Apple's ecosystem, so the Apple TV 4K (3rd gen) was an easy pick. While much more expensive than the alternatives, it's one of the most polished experiences in its category. It's still not without some minor flaws, but my TV experience has never been better.
