Feels like the market is stagnating a bit. Nvidia hasn’t done a new Shield in what? Four years now? Any Fire TV is loaded with Amazon bullshit. Roku is decent but I’ve always detested the kneecapped OS. Chromecasts are sluggish to say the least. Besides the Shield, is there any decent enthusiast device out there today that will even run Android 14 once it’s available?

Any Fire TV is loaded with Amazon bullshit.

Honestly, my Nvidia Shield TV Pro has been catching up. I'm getting full banner advertisements for fast food on my home screen. I actually think the Fire Stick 4K Max is probably the best value right now and would be my pick if I needed another device.

I have 4 Google Chromecast TV's with the remote. All my apps are there, been using the 4k version since they came out. Mine never really felt sluggish or slow.

That's the problem with Android TV: there arn't solid devices out there. There's the newer Chromecasts, and then a bunch of Chinese garbage with potential malware preloaded and nothing inbetween.
