I've got a 2015 model in the bedroom and the newer 2019 model on the main TV.
It's still plenty fast for general TV app watching. In a new model I want AV1 and VP9.2 support (Future proof and to give youtube HDR).
HDMI 2.1 to gamestream 4k120hz gameplay. Other than that it still supports absolutely everything. Other enhancements that would be nice:
You can install some app that lets you override the Netflix button. I forget the name but I've set mine to be a mute toggle.
Yeah I've tried it but I kept having other UI and remote issues so had to stop. I've debated whether just breaking the trace on the remote. I hate hate clicking it.
There are two apps that claim to override the button and one doesn't work and causes issues, while the other has been flawless for me. I set it to open Plex. Even bought a perfectly sized Plex sticker to cover the Netflix logo.
You got the name of the new one? I'll give it another shot.
It's this one https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.irishin.buttonsremapper&hl=en_US
When I set mine to Mute, Netflix still kept launching. So I set it to Show Recent Apps and long-press to Mute. That solved it.
