Honestly the Tizen software is just so horrendeously slow. Getting an nvidia shield and slapping it on the TV is well worth it just to have smooth UI interactions. And the shield also has a chromecast built into it…
We got a Samsung The Frame this Black Friday, which uses Tizen. It is our first really smart tv, the other we got is a 2012 Panasonic plasma.. Anyway, i'm quite pleasently suprised with the response and UI interactions.
