Is a built-in smart TV system worth it over plugging in a streaming stick?

Reviewer consensus

It depends on the platform. The Aurzen Roku models earn praise from CNET and verified Best Buy buyers for a genuinely smooth Roku interface, while many 'built-in apps' projectors run clunky proprietary systems that reviewers say are slow or limited. If you value simplicity, a vetted Roku or Google TV build helps; otherwise a Fire TV or Apple TV stick is a reliable fallback.
