right smart TVs are often not as good or versatile as a decent media player and the Nvidia shield is the baddest powerhouse of all of them but Roku is OK bit not a powerhouse .I use a pi and an nvidia shield, both far outweigh the potential and power of a smart tv.
OTOH for 99 percent of my web TV Android streaming up to 4K HDR and 5.1 DD protected content in my Sony XBR 4K HDR TV works well but my 1080p Roku has 200 channels installed in it I , many I can't get on the TV outside or inside of Kodi add on's at 1080p so there is a certainly good argument for decent media player with a smart TV .
EDIT :
OTOH the Android 6 smart TV platform ( TV Android ) in 2015-2016 -2017 Sony better TV models is about as good as it gets in a TV but you can get it in some Android Boxes and Nvidia shield .
