The issue is that the SoC definitely wasn't designed to handle the 2025 version of the apps, and I've had times where I've had to hard reboot the TV just to get Netflix not to crash.

I'm trying to decide whether I should spring for a new Samsung like mentioned above, or just find a good box from which to run all the streaming apps.

Thoughts?
Get a Google Chromecast/Streamer or whatever they call it now if you want something cheap that works well. Or get an Nvidia Shield if you want the best streaming experience possible and is also pretty decent at light gaming
