Can you point me in the direction of a TV that adds basic features like VRR through firmware?

I'm on my second Roku OS TCL tv, and no new features are ever added to those. The firmware updates strictly deal with the app environment.

A TCL Roku example would be the FALD engine. Firmware updates "enhance" the backlight algorithm. One update added it to Game mode.

VRR being added, as I stated, is something Sony has been doing this year.
