After dealing with clunky interfaces and sluggish performance, I finally decided to ditch smart TV apps completely and switch over to using my Apple TV 4K full-time—and I’m not looking back. 6 Streaming Sticks Offer Much Faster Performance Raghav Sethi/MakeUseOf While high-end smart TVs have decent hardware, most budget and mid-range models are underpowered. Apps take too long to launch, interfaces lag, and basic actions just feel slow. Devices like the Apple TV 4K or Google TV Streamer are simply better. They’re optimized for…
