Best digital interface option?

[Ksicecream]

What is best digital interface option with frame tv (Roku, Apple or Amazon fire stick)? Having serious issues with Xfinity stream and trying to find viable alternatives without paying for a cable box each month.

Google TV is my preferred TV OS. Walmart's ONN devices are great affordable options in that vein.

Fire TV is a close second. Both are good, but Google TV integrates a bit more closely with your Samsung Devices.

I would recommend Apple TV only if you are deeply embedded in the Apple ecosystem and have no intention to leave.

Roku is the least polished in my opinion. Widely available, but a bit clunky. Even so, many people use them and like them.

As @CEParsons says the Walmart Onn Google TV 4k Pro is a great device. This is the device that I own and love. It has a built in speaker for hands free control!

Fire TV is a convoluted mess.

We have both Google TVs and Fire TVs in our home.

I prefer Google TV but I find Fire TV inoffensive. I enjoy the integration with our Ring Products.

Roku is not allowed in my house lol!

Fire TV hurts my eyes!

What's the deal with the Fire stick?  I thought the video quality relies on the quality of the TV, or is it the layout?  I have no interest in having one, just curious.  I have a 2nd generation Roku stick that still works just fine.

The interface is a convoluted mess. Too many ads!

Google TV is the best!

I've never had any issue with my Roku.  I've never seen an ad on the interface.  It's maybe 10 years or so old now.  I was never interested in the Fire stick because of reasons, the main one being that I saw no need to get another streamer when the Roku was working fine. Maybe if I decide to replace or supplement it, I'll get the Google one.
