Just get her an AppleTV or something similar. TV manufacturers are about as good at UI/UX as car manufacturers are.

Apple TV hardware + a television with solid, no-nonsense HDMI CEC support (like the Roku TV models) is the best experience nowadays.

I don't understand how anybody on this site would consider using the underpowered mess in their TV.

I use my LG TV's YouTube application as the only media player on my TV because it's plenty fast enough and it does 4K.

On my other television I have an Apple TV, and the only real difference is that I like the Apple remote more.

I guess your needs are small, but I bet there will come a time where your YouTube on your TV suddenly becomes super slow and there’s nothing you can do about it.

At which point I will have gotten many years out of it and will stick an Apple TV on it like the rest of my TVs. Meh?
