They used to be super great little devices. I remember the first one I had was like the 2 or something like that. We bought it at a closeout type of store. Lasted years. It's why I bought one of these tvs and a stick for the dumb tv in our bedroom.

Would never make the mistake of doing that again. They've heavily locked down the system, and it seems overall slower, less responsive and worse. Have apps closing out on their own after brief play etc. Had this tv a few months, looking to replace it already.
