No option to watch content on this TV ? from both.. ?
Better to have an Amazon 4k Fire Stick during deal - I'm looking for entry level 55-65 inch dumb tv without smart feature....which exists to none.
Since you won't find any dumb tvs now, your only option is smart tv but you don't have to use "smart" part of it, just connect firestick and use that.
I wonder if the Boot Up of the TV may get slow/stuck over time due to (aging) Andriod presence, Is it possible to bypass Andriod Boot completely and directly go to HDMI Interface? Saw some pic on Flipkart's Mi TV (Certified Buyer) review - Mi TV (particularly) showing Andriod Boot Error.
P.S : I got Fire TV Stick 4k and Mi Box 3 - I hope I never required any Smart Feature from any TV manufacturer.
May I ask why two devices ? What does one lack which other is able to do ?I got Fire TV Stick 4k and Mi Box 3
What option Do i have ? Some more information:
This TV features the latest Android OS 8.0 Oreo which lets you enjoy all your smartphone features on your television. The Android version can be upgraded upto 1 version.
I have chromecast inbuilt in my TV

Mi Box 3 :
- Google Chrome Cast Built In
- Off-Line HDD Media Playback, Read almost all File system
- Offer a True Optical Out which goes to my Headphone Dac/Amp (Became Noiseless Headphone Guy since 2014)
- Sideloaded Prime Video App was Choppy in the fast moving scene but work anyhow.
Fire TV 4k :
- No Chrome Cast Built-In and No Youtube Client at all till now, Using Super Tube but sucks Cast Functionality / Native YT Client from Aptoide don't allow to Log In but manage to do the cast, but if any other YT client installed at the same time it will not take the queue for casting request.
- Only Fat 32 file system support for offline media drive - Last I checked.
- No way to output Digital audio other than BT mode to my Headphone Setup
Sideload Nvidia version for Amazon Prime Video. Full HD and no jitters. I feel FireTV is redundant in your case
You're out of luck. Both Netflix and Amazon only allow "their" certified devices to play back their content. Google certified means nothing. It could be phone OS on TV. Google certified means that you can install apps from the Google PlayStore. That's all.
To actually playback Amazon prime videos and Netflix videos you need to see if your TV supports hdcp & widevine L1 version. Download DRM Info from the Google PlayStore and check if your device supports widevine L1. If it shows L3, then you can only play back videos in chrome or Firefox browser at 480p resolutions.

Edit:
Well - There are many and consider this before Amazon and Google's Friendship this year, Yet to see the fruit of their Relationship, below some points which let me go for Fire TV Stick 4k at a later date, I noticed online streaming video quality is better in Fire TV Stick 4k than Mi Box 3 using the following service - Netflix, Prime, Hotstar Premium, TVF, Jio Cinema.

My tv is not supported for netflix content..
According to onida, they might release some updates in future hopefully, no gurantee..
I have chromecast inbuilt netflix support confirmed I can watch via chromecast.While purchasing any android tv,just make sure it has inbuilt chrome cast. All official android tv have this feature.
Once you have chrome cast you don’t have to worry about Netflix or amazon prime support.
