I have used 3 streaming devices so far and my experience is:
firestick 4k max - is running without any problems but it starts with a loud noise but the apps inside has lower volumes
Apple 4k TV - Quality is very good but I am facing intermittent wi-fi issues. Now Netflix is not logging in for some reason
Nvidia shield TV - was not using for some time and I find the remote is having problems
So brand name and higher cost does not always work perfectly
