So I'll be in the market for a ~40" 4k tv soon, but....

1) I haven't had great experience with smart tvs that have built-in platforms like Fire TV or Roku. I currently have a 55" Toshiba smart 4k tv w/ Fire TV and it's slower than **** (probably because I'm constantly near the 5GB memory limit, but what can you do when it only holds, like, 10 ****ing apps).

2) I love Fire TV - I've had every generation of standalone Fire TV systems, and I just bought a Cube and it works great.

What this means is I'm looking for a non-smart 4k QLED or OLED 40" tv. Is that even an option in today's market?
4K is pretty much wasted on a 40" TV/Monitor.

Though perhaps one of these might work for you. TV's without smart bits built in are scarce. You don't have to actually use the smart bits on most of them though.

ETA: From the reviews, the 43" Sony might be your best bet.
