For the past 10 years or so I’ve had a PC hooked up to a dumb TV to stream my TV. Now I’m officially old and have kids in elementary school. The PC is finally unbearably slow but now I have no idea what to replace it with, or frankly even what my options are. Smart TV? Casting Stick? new PC? some newfangled option i don’t even know what to google?
Smart TVs collect and sell your user data. Apple TV bypasses that and is a much better UI and you can watch the same things on other Apple devices.
My Samsung LCD TV screen died after only 3 years. I replaced it with LG C3 OLED. It’s a wonderful picture and good sound.
