Buying call

Buy the Apple TV 4K if you want the smoothest streaming box and use Apple devices: reviewers praised its excellent picture with HDR10+ and Dolby Vision, frame-rate and range matching, fast, responsive performance, a USB-C Siri Remote and deep integration with AirPlay, photos and Apple services. Skip it if you want a cheap streamer, because it's pricey next to rivals and many TVs now have AirPlay built in. The tvOS and Apple TV app overlap is confusing, and physical connectivity is limited.
