Nvidia Shield - cure for slow Sony TV ?

[911newbie]

Our 2016 Sony 4 K TV still has a lovely picture, but using it has become very tedious because of the monumental lag in the OS.

Takes maybe 10 seconds to respond to a button press for the menu for instance if it's just woken up. I've tried factory reset (worked for a few days), and stopping all the bloatware (didn't really improve things).
It's sort of like the old days when you had to leave a telly to literally warm up.... Ahh, nostalgia....

It's at the point where the TV is almost non functional.

So I was thinking of a Nvidia Shield to handle all the smart stuff, and simply use the Sony screen for display.

Anyone with experience of Shields, or alternatives ?
Will it make using the TV a crisp and easy experience ???

Cheers all.

Fire stick 4Ks are good for this. The Shield is a great box but it's expensive and it sounds like it will have functionality you don't need. The Fire stick is a lot cheaper (especially when it's on offer), should do everything you need and it's easy to send back if you don't like it
