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?
Most people would replace their TV after five to seven years, so grabbing one of the new Samsungs would be the optimal option.

Buying a chromecast is a much cheaper option. Plugs into a hdmi port and runs your apps smoother than an eight year old TV's native apps.
