This was my position, but now I like having a TCL Roku TV. The HDMI inputs are channels on the app screen, but all my tv settings are in the roku interface. It eliminates having that additional layer of settings between the two devices like frame rate and passthrough/bitstream audio. It eliminates having two user interface layers (the tv and the box) to change settings on. I have way more sound problems passing arc from a streaming box to a soundbar, through a tv intermediate, than I do from a smart tv to a soundbar. (FireCube+Vizio M Series is a disaster. The audio cuts out every 3rd time alexa triggers or you pause.) I can still have an apple tv and fire stick plugged in, but TCL and Roku have done a great job of treating the tvs as first class Roku citizens. It's nothing like Android and the OEM getting in the way of updates. They also arent underpowering the internal roku, its an ultra not a budget roku.
