Was gonna mention them, but their reviews are locked behind a paywall now.

Yeah forgot about that. At least looking at their site now id say its still relevant for the average user. They seem to paywall the specific stats but most people dont care about the exact lumens of brightness or the ms of input lag on hdmi.

Honestly, go secondhand market if you just want the apple TV to do most of the heavy lifting! (marketplace, next door, craigslist, etc).
My ideal setup these days is dumb old tv + apple TV + soundbar.

No. As with every tv just never use its software.

No. We have 5-6 apps that we use frequently on the Samsung, including Apple TV, and no issues. What size are you considering?
