What are your requirements for a TV?

Hi, just basically a quality brand, Full HD, Smart TV with all updateable apps. I don't need 3D which this set has and I note it has Chromecast streaming capability.
There are plenty of reviews online about the pros and cons of AndroidTV. Have you read any of these yet?
How long is the Android hardware in it expected to last for, befire it ceases being supported? If it is from 2015, that is pretty old for Android hardware I would have thought. IMO I wouldn't pay any extra just because it is an Android TV, over a standard model

Not sure the age of Android TV is relevant. Currently Sony has stated they are upgrading 2017, 2016, and 2015 TVs to Android TV 7. So that means the 2015 TV that is already 2 years old will get the latest OS in 2017 and even if you run it for another 3 years on 7 that is still 5 years use from a TV, which is probably pretty close to the normal life of a TV.
My next TV will be a Sony, I don't need to get a Sony with Android TV but I will because Android TV is great and better than any other TV OS I have used.
