Nah, sticking my GTV into my big ass cheap dumb TV I got on sale at a Fry’s while they were going out of business. Im even considering buying another big ass dumb TV soon from my local big box store.

Pros: remote that functions with the TV, ability to side load forever (Google aint gonna kill android on their sticks), pretty much plug and play, is way cheaper than a small streaming box, works natively with my NAS library

Never had an issue with it being slow other than Peacocks absolutely dog shit app, which also doesn’t work right on my phone so I’m guessing the issue isn’t the TV.

Smartification devices rule on dumb TVs, Amazons has always been bottom tier one though
