Depending on what you do either get an Nvidia Shield or an AppleTV. I'd recommend the Shield for Plex or the AppleTV for streaming Netflix, etc.

  Definitely don't get the Shield if you use the stream apps. Nvidia's support for them is awful and their forums provide no help.

    Yeah... Even basic stuff like framerate matching is still missing after all these years. They added it in beta a couple of years ago as a manual setting from the quick settings menu, but it's super buggy. It has never worked properly for me. Either the video completely freezes or the audio gets completely out of sync. And even if you manually set the framerate to 24Hz or 23.9 Hz, there are constant random frame drops.

  Yeah I don't even bother with the built in "smarts". Turn off wifi and bluetooth, don't plug in ethernet, and hook up a decent streaming box like an Apple TV or Shield. With that, it doesn't matter how outdated the TV's software is.

  AppleTV is fully capable of playing local content. You can either use Infuse player or sideload Kodi

    You can also install VLC for the Apple TV (it's on the App Store). It can play content from local network shares.

    Yeah but it doesn't have HDMI audio passthrough which is an absolute deal breaker IMO.
