    Grabbing the Apple TV 4K was a game changer for me. While LG's WebOS is decent for the most part, I keep running into some random bug where I would randomly lose the sound for no reason at all. None of the diagnostics or troubleshooting that LG recommended helped. The only fix was resetting the TV (LG C2 42inch) back to factory settings but even then the same issue would happen again in a few days. A $1000+ TV shouldn't come with bugs like this and after a few months I got fed up and grabbed the Apple TV 4K. It was quite abit of money but well worth the price of admission. Zero bugs, smooth UI, able to use my AirPods 3 and AirPods Max for private listening and finally syncing with a pair of HomePod 2s through eARC for the best minimalist Dolby Atmos set-up (no noticeable lag even during PS5 and Xbox Series X gameplay). One of Apple's most underrated products IMO.
    That said, will you be doing a long term review of the Google Nest Wifi Pro? Thinking of upgrading to one of those to replace my aging Google Wifi mesh set=-up.

    Having been the IT person for my past job and having to support all of the conference rooms and TVs I have found that Most "Smart" TVs are pretty dumb. They are exactly as you have noted her, but they also really stink at managing peripherals (AppleTVs, Roku Boxes, and other external sources). They would randomly disconnect and be forgotten and the auto-detect and setup for them are horrible. Huge sources like AppleTVs would just never auto-setup with their software. Basic users are hosed by them.
    We have a couple AppleTVs at home and we love them. Frictionless and easy to use when you want to do anything on them. Great video.

    Granted, all of my TVs are still good old “dumb” TVs (I’m running my Panasonic plasmas until they die), but even if I were in the market for a brand new TV today, I would either try to find a non-smart TV, or if that isn’t an option, I’d buy the TV with the best reviewed picture quality and disable all the smart features. The data mining and ads make them a nonstarter, and I’ve never seen a built in smart TV OS that is as fluid and feature packed as Apple TV.
    All of the points you made are spot on, the high quality of the OS combined with the deep integration with other Apple products make this by far the best way to get content. Even if you don’t use an iPhone it’s still one of the best streaming boxes available.

I bought a Fire Tv 4K first gen and situation didn’t improve that much,plus it was riddled with ads. I managed to find an Apple TV 4K first gen with A10X chip and it was really a great experience. I said was because I don’t have it anymore. I gave it to my mum and I bought the last gen with A15 chip. It costs a bit but the experience is really great and I cannot live anymore without my Apple TV 4K.

    The one thing to think about using external smart box is that TV processing features might not work on them. For example Sony XR clear or new Alpha 11 LG G4 OLED might only do some of it's processing on internal apps in their Smart OS.

    I have an apple TV for my master bedroom and living room. I love them. I just bought a new 65'' TV last month and still use the apple tv with it. I like how the apps are already in the same space. Didn't have to download or long in to anything. It just works. I don't owe the apple tv 4k so thinking of getting that soon. My guess room could use my older apple tv.

    If the ATV4K was able to do all the UHD audio formats it would dominate. But, until then Shield TV Pro will be my main home theater device

    Yeah I really don't like Apple and massively prefer android phones....and yet and this is a big climb down for me but I see Apple TV as the sole saviour of streaming TV products. It takes someone with the arrogance and confidence of Apple to push back against all the crap ads that ruin all the other streaming devices. For that I reluctantly salute them and use Apple TV on all my TVs, still don't like Apple but I'm not stupid 😂

      That sounds good, I used to use a fire TV with a custom launcher but they kinda stopped that and forced the really heavy ad laden Amazon TV experience on me. That's what made me jump to apple TV which I've gotta give them credit for, it's a very nice interface. I just really like how there's no suggested content ads and I can still use Emby which is my main app

      I would really like to have an Android phone, but being a Mac user since the mid 90s for work and personal use, it makes ZERO sense for me to use a phone that is not seamlessly integrated with my computer use.

    Had my apple tv for almost 2 years now and I’ve loved it. I’m never using a smart tv os again. The most underrated feature in my opinion is the portability. You can take it to a hotel or anywhere you travel and it takes up a minimal amount of space allowing you to easily bring all your shows and streaming platforms with you when you’re on the go.

      Fubo TV supports split screen when using Apple TV (not when using Roku). Also CZcamsTV will give you split screen options when there are multiple games on.

    When I got my Hisense a couple years ago, I had to use the built-in CZcams app becuase Google hadn't updated the AppleTV app to display HDR content. Once that got fixed, I use my Apple TV and my blu-ray player (and my son uses a third input for playing Nintendo). I only use the built-in interface if I have to mess with settings.

    I got a higher end LG OLED a few years ago and it was worth it. Runs smooth and after all the updates it’s still good. I also have an Apple TV and I do use it since I’ve noticed the interface is cleaner higher res and usually the video streaming is at a higher resolution. Luckily I don’t have any ads anywhere which I’m not looking forward to when I switch to a new tv but not anytime soon

    100%. Still love my gen 3 (4?) old AppleTV with my old but decent HD tv. When I finally spring for a bigger 4k screen I’ll immediately get this 4kATV, or whatever the latest one is. And I can give my old one to my dad, whose newish tv OS is just so shockingly slow and crap it’s painful.

    I used to love my gen 1 chromecast back during my college years. That was until i was introduced to apple tv and the zero adds, zero slowness, and great and sturdy control it comes with. Now, non of my smart tvs are connected to the wifi. They all get an apple tv so no adds and extra unwanted channels popup.

    I am very much still a media pc type of person.
    (Not that d+ or prime video gives you good quality on a pc)
    But mpv is such a powerful media player, add in shaders, upscaleing, and many other advanced settings. (Like dynamic tone mapping for hdr)
    Atv is more locked down than even ios and is just a huge hassle for me to work with.
    But it does have some very useful features like audio format shifting and a atmos decoder? (Mac can decode atmos to high channel pcm but mabye not atv)
    I guess the airpod features are cool if your in the apple ecosystem but I am extremely sensitive to audio latency and Bluetooth dosen't really cut it. (Although you can delay it out and that's mostly fine for media consumption that isn't live.)
    The whole home media space is a mess. Expessaly now that audio is expected to be carried over hdmi. Hq audio and vrr at the same time is very expensive to get now. Cec is still mostly a mess. Modern displays all seem to have earc now but a few years ago high end displays only had arc causing more configuration issues. Streaming services 4k distribution only comes in locked ways with weird requirements that causes signal processing to essentially be a no go and most things that work or are the distribution formats are stuck behind licenses. Like hdmi 2.1 essentially being broken on Linux because of the licensing changes from the hdmi standard.

    Roku is slow now too? That’s unfortunate, I had a Roku TCL TV a few years back and I always touted it as the fastest smart TV I’d ever used (besides TVOS). Is Roku really as slow as Tizen now?

  • @tommanseau6277
    @tommanseau6277 Před měsícem

    In addition to this accurate review, it was the picture quality that was a really pleasant surprise. It's dramatically better. That's not hyperbole in my experience. The most obvious signs of artifacting and low throughput are the black to gray levels. It's been decades since I haven't seen some sort of black level banding, pretty much with all of the digital non OTA signals, cable, satelite, or internet based. Unless you've seen enough film or analog, you might not even realize that the picture isn't supposed to be banded like that. This was really the 1st time I fealt like I was getting the full use of the gorgeous 4k OLED screen outside of physical discs or an OTA sports broadcast.

    Kyle, thank you for creating this fantastic video! It’s refreshing to see someone finally addressing TV OS issues. Personally, I own an LG OLED TV for my entertainment room, a Sony TV for the family room, and a Samsung TV for my master bedroom. I completely agree with your observation that each TV OS can be clunky when it comes to usability. Additionally, streaming directly via the TV isn’t as smooth as using the Apple TV App. The picture quality on Apple TV is noticeably better, especially considering that I still have two Apple TV 4K devices from 2017. I often recommend Apple TV to my friends, and I even gifted one to my friend’s father. He’s extremely satisfied, especially when streaming catch-up TV. For streaming, I rely heavily on my Apple TV and keep other TV OS interfaces clean for live TV viewing. Regarding network connectivity, I’ve meticulously Cat6 cabled my house, with separate cables for the master bedroom and entertainment room. Each point has its own router in a mesh network, and my Apple TV in the entertainment room is connected via an Ethernet cable. I believe this setup significantly enhances the streaming experience.
