The reason it gets a bad wrap is because it isn't designed for budget TVs. The OS is a memory hog. Which all of these budget TVs don't have the on board ram to keep up with it and it results in the Home Screen lagging and pausing and every once in a while freezing and needing reset the TV.
Once you're in an app like Netflix or hbo there is no freezing. It's just the Home Screen. People flip over it because they buy these $300 TVs and expect them to work like the $2300 version.
I have the 65 in hisense that I got for $250 a few years back and while the tv studders every once in awhile (3 times a month or so) I've only had it completely freeze once.
I like the os feel and experience it gives.
Manufacturers are delivering lowest cost and higher cost options, they are not in control of your choice on this matter.

So the cheap buyers are to blame for the problems....not Google for allowing its full bloat software to be used in an inappropriate environment nor the TV maker choosing said software knowing the memory level is questionable? OK...........
