Alternative ways to run Plex?
Context; So... Just bought a brand new TV and life is good, but I should have done more research before buying it. I primarily want to use PLEX for watching media on the TV. However, due to "smart TV's" not being smart and being rather slow because most current TV operating systems are either bloated or just riddled with ads.
Question; So Plex is there, but it runs very poorly. What are the best options out there to get this running smoothly? Are the only options AppleTV and Amazon Firestick? Anyone been in this boat before that have any tips-n-tricks to share?
Ps. I hate ads, so the Firestick is of off the charts.
Much appreciated

Buddy, I've still got an original Chromecast I use daily.
Ditto. Got the 1st gen usb style, the 2nd gen puck, and the last ultra that came out before they had a full on OS and remote controls and shit. All 3 of em in use daily to this day.
$20 for what seems to be a good streaming device ain't bad, but I can understand where you're coming from.
Have the 4k one, works great light years faster than the TV os for everything
These are surprisingly decent. I have the non 4k one from a few years ago and even that is faster than smart tvs I’ve used.
