what advantage do you get using Apple TV over say, built in Roku smart TV?
NO ADS
smoothest UI with no lag, better quality versions of apps, better hardware, better remote, less flakey airplay, icloud, more support for codecs, on and on.
smart Tv's are garbage and should never be connected to wifi. as soon as you connect the TV lags lol
what advantage do you get using Apple TV over say, built in Roku smart TV?
No ads no tracking etc. You can also use the apps, airplay. If you are happy with the Roku stick with it. If it's laggy, or you want other apple features just get the Apple TV especially at this price. I forgot screen calibration for ones tv but you need an iPhone for that. If you have AirPods or AirPods Max, get the Apple TV for better 3d surround sound etc.

I bought a Roku (TCL) TV and the installer said it would be neat for about a year or so. Over time it will start to lag and get slow. He said at that point, you'll want to either look at an AppleTV or external Roku if you want to stick with them. The panel is still good though.
