They are rock solid and polished and have great remotes. I have an account, but don't stream any content from them directly. I use their device for Netflix/Amazon Video/YouTube.

I also use the Samsung platform (Tizen I believe) on a different TV. It is usable but clunky by comparison. The remote is a hot mess.
