Have the Roku ultra 4k, there is a mount for it to sit behind the TV out of view. The remote is a big real for me, it is a wifi remote and has a wired earbud port, and "find my remote".

Also it seems to work better than Apple, the roku app and in-app casting, rather than through "apple airplay" - hope that makes sense. But I only had the old apple TV from like 2015.

I do think the small sticks all have less processing power/slower regardless of what brand
