Maybe it is not what you're looking for, but Fire TV, included within the Echo Show 15, is pretty snappy.

All my TVs have Apple TVs connected, but my Echo Show 15 in the kitchen does a fine job of plating YouTube TV, so I can watch shows and sports while I cook.

The Echo Show 15 is slower than either generation of Fire TV 4K Max and is around the speed of an older Fire TV 4K.

Echo Show 15 has a fatal flaw: the BBC News skill doesn't work with IPv6. It's just broken.

Also, it's a screen with terrible audio. It's no replacement for an HDMI output device.
