We’re still learning what is best for PC players and your feedback has been invaluable. Thanks again for your continued support of Helldivers 2 and we’ll keep you updated on future plans."
If anything the power of the external device is much more than the native TV app shoehorned on there, especially an Xbox or even a roku that can do 4k streaming for $50
I don’t understand. I’m telling you the TV is faster and higher quality than the Xbox. I thought we were all shitting on Roku lately, why would I but a Roku device to daisy chain it into my system?
This has not been my experience at all with my Smart TV and Xbox. I routinely use the Xbox for simple things like YouTube because the apps are noticeably slower to respond than the TV.
And I’m saying it’s not but we can agree to disagree, and also just providing examples of devices that aren’t expensive and better than what the TV provides but if you want to use what ships with the TV that’s fine, this conversation isn’t for you to defend your purchase and choices, cheers.
No the conversation was to explain why an external device would be better than a native device. Nobody seems to be able to explain that.
I would honestly be interested in some performance comparisons between say Samsung TV UI and that of various streaming boxes, but all I can find is streaming boxes being compared against one another.
Ah well for me and others in the thread, using the TV app isn’t even an option because of the enshittification of Sony games and all TVs in general which was the overall point of the comment thread…
That’s fair enough. I don’t really know much about the Roku TV enshittification thing other than snippets I’ve read on here.
I’m just trying to understand why an external device would be any better (for those who still have a working TV that is). Most are made by the same type of companies who make the Smart TVs. The Walmart ONN device for example, mentioned elsewhere in the thread as a great alternative, is literally a Roku device. Forgive me for not getting it.
