TV's are hopelessly underpowered computers as well, it easily takes 20 seconds to start the app for a streaming platform, and then input latency is really bad too. Really miserable UX.

I've seen this work both ways. The original FireTV stick had awful latency, the 4K one is far smoother despite shifting four times as many pixels.
