I don't agree. I don't need my TV to keep up with the latest software like I do my computer. I'd like it to load apps for the streaming services and search YouTube videos. If it can do that today, it can do that five years from now.

    But if a codec change or such happens (like to AV1 or h.265), it might not, we have an older 4k smart tv (Sharp Aquos LC-60UE30U) that can't handle 4k streaming without dropping to single digit fps.

    Have you tried turning "Motion Enhancement" or "Aquomotion" off?

    Yep, what few "features" the screen has have all been turned off, it is just kind of crap, when it got its (singular) software update, the update progress screen was displaying the top half of its frame on both halves of the screen.

    You could accomplish that with a streamer though. The new ones even have IR and can act as universal remotes. This negates the detriment to not having it built into the tv.

    Then when it's out of date you replace a 100$ streamer and not a 1000$ tv.
