Always go with a separate smart device than the chipset built in. It can only brick the tv if it's working. Don't update if you don't have to use the Roku etc

I've had over 10 smart TVs and always updated the software when they are available and have had no problem. Maybe a lot of the "bricking" comes from people that dont follow direction when they are updating. I prefer a manufacturer that update their software to fix things or add new features, than the manufacturer that doesn't care about their product after they got your money.

Exactly. I have an older model TCL with Roku OS and still only use it with the external Roku device. TV software updates from all makers has been needlessly hit-miss and none take responsibility for problems/bricking.

I've bought dozens of TV's over the years. The only one I've regretted was the 75" TCL 4-series, purchased in 2019. The warranty was only 1 year, and just before the one year mark, the screen went black and would not power on. Went through the warranty process, which took a couple of weeks. Had a technician come out, where he confirmed that the panel itself had failed. He mentioned that this was VERY common for the TCL 4-series at the time and that I would have to get a replacement under warranty. Another week and they swapped out my TV with a "new" one (likely refurbished). That one failed, in the exact same manner is the first, about 13 months later. No warranty to bail me out this time.

I don't know if TCL has addressed this problem with reliability on their 4-series panels, but personally I would not buy another one. Also worth mentioning, the black uniformity on both sets was the worst I've ever seen on any LED panel. I lived with it but man it pissed me off every time I got to a really dark scene in a show/movie.

This. It is extremely unlikely to brick your TV from a software update, unless you don't follow the instructions. Even then, it can almost always be repaired with a re-flash. A better reason to use a purpose built streaming device is performance and space. Often in these budget TVs the manufactures try to save a few bucks by using a cheap CPU and barely enough storage.

Exactly, the only reason I dont use the onboard software is because of the slower/lower end CPU. Though the higher end Sony have pretty fast CPU with their Google TV. I have 2 Nvidia Shields, 1 Google 4k, and 1 Onn.
