TV with Android ~750$/3000 PLN

[Szynek]

Hello, my relative's TV broke down couple days ago, I'm looking for a replacement.

 

My priorities may be a bit unusual, as this is not very demanding nor tech-savvy person, so I'd like to optimize for cost in a sense of the new one to live for as long as possible (hopefully at least 5 years), but without spending all that much. Priorities are:

1. Android TV (the same as GoogleTV these days?) with support for all major VODs (Netflix, Amazon, HBO Max etc., nothing locked out that would require side-loading).
2. Image quality that is not worse than the previous `Philips 43PUS6501` (hopefully impossible).
3. Probably bigger size (but not larger than 65", as the distance from TV is ~3 meters max).
4. OS, that actually works properly; I can live with maybe some UI animations slowdown, but previous `Philips 43PUS6501` had issues displaying smooth 4k output towards end of its life, either audio or video was stuttering (and some VOD apps do not allow you to reduce quality). I really want to avoid having to set up some additional Android Box, teach to use 2 remotes etc.
5. OS, that will be at least somewhat supported (ergo won't get abandoned immediately after initial release, which could potentially lead to dropping VOD apps support).

From what I found:

1. My initial choice was something like this, which seems like a natural way forward --> https://www.morele.net/telewizor-philips-55pus8057-12-led-55-4k-ultra-hd-android-ambilight-11898483/
2. This also looks interesting, as it often gets recommended as a cheap TV and also I know that Xiaomi supports their product software-wise (at least in case of MiBox they do) -- >https://www.morele.net/telewizor-xiaomi-a2-l55m7-led-55-4k-ultra-hd-android-12288111/
3. Then there us this, a bit more expensive, but 10" larger, and QLED, so honestly looks pretty good; the problem is, that I have 0 experience with TCL, so no idea about reliability, software quality, or track record when it comes to support --> https://www.morele.net/telewizor-tcl-65c645-qled-65-4k-ultra-hd-android-12813221/

Any comments, or maybe other suggestions?

I would go with either something from tcl or Sony as I think they might have a few cheaper lcd tvs but from experience I know tcl has very good tvs as I am using one right now, and even if you do go with a tv with a bad os It is as simple as getting a chromecast with google tv that will speed it up and make it as good as new, anything with google tv is a must nowadays
