Counterpoint. I have a 4yr old 4K Sony TV, it was a higher end model, and it's horrible. It runs Android and is apparently underpowered. When I turn it on (from standby, not from zero power), it can often take 30-60 seconds to turn on...AFAIK it's recovering from garbage collection. That doesn't happen every time. Just tried now and it took 4 seconds to turn on and 10 more seconds until it would actually respond to button presses on the remote.
The screen is (was) covered in ads for TV programs and movies. Fortunately I was able to turn all that off but the home screen is designed around ads so without them it looks clunky. (unlike say Apple TV which just shows the apps)
A few times in the last 4 years it has crashed and rebooted in the middle of watching something (that process takes 1-2 mins? Just timed a reboot, 1 min 20 seconds but crashes take longer)
I hoping to get something dumb next time I get a TV. Unfortunately dumb TV generally seem more expensive. Like I have to by a business display TV and are often missing features (like no lag, no interpolation modes)
