I'm far from an Apple fanboy, but I picked up an Apple TV and don't regret it.

While 8K resolution offers more detail and color than 4K TVs, there are plenty of reasons to wait on upgrading.

I still don't have a good reason to upgrade to the latest Apple TV 4K.

In the never-ending battle of streaming service picks, the Apple TV 4K finally came out on top as my favorite -- here's why.

The differences are slight, but I'm banking on Samsung to provide me with the OLED smart TV for these reasons.
