    Which year? I hear there’s a big jump in quality to 2018 but if I can get away with a 2017, I’ll jump on a deal for that.

    I’ve been gaming on a ~2012 Samsung LED with supersampling enabled on PS4 Pro. It’s not bad but I know I’m missing out on better visuals.

    I had nothing but trouble with my fire stick. It was clunky and slow to respond. I only use Chromecast devices now.

    The Fire TV isn't really a Casting device anyway. It's more like a Roku or Apple TV where the app physically exists on the device (although there are 3rd party casting apps).

    Having said that, yes the Fire TV stick blows. But the actual Fire TV (the pendant; used to be the box) is great.

    Yep. The Chromecast is nice if you want to cast exactly what's on your phone screen. This is mainly useful when there is no app for the video you are watching, but it's becoming less and less common.

    I have a number of them and they've been great. My oldest one has gotten slow and clunky but it's like the first edition so I've had it a while. Just switched it out with a newer one and it is very fast

    Fire sticks are just far more prone to get stuck, not respond to the remote, need to be restarted, etc.

    Own several as well. Biggest issue I’ve had is the remote. That little amazon remote that comes with it absolutely blows IMO. Two of my TVs I use the regular TV remote with it and my third I bought a little rechargeable Bluetooth remote that’s always instantly responsive. Something I think they should fix because it’s annoying, but that’s my only complaint.

    OG Firestick is bad. That said, commandeered the one I originally bought for my dad and replaced it with the FireTV and that thing is blazing fast by comparison. Can’t imagine where they are now.

    I still use a Chromecast for anything I can’t get on Xbox.

    Idk but check the per camera price on all of them. 2 v 3 v 4 v 5 pack. I can’t remember but I think the 3 pack was the worst deal per camera. Nearly $80 per camera.

    Decent depending on what you want to do with them. Better than the oven (crispiness), not as good as good as a deep fryer (but obviously healthier).

    My uncle did the turkey in an air fryer a couple years ago at Thanksgiving. I'm typically a dark meat guy, but the white meat on that bird was really tasty.
