Just use the Android TV / Smart TV for mainstream Apps usage. i.e. Netflix, Amazon etc etc
But NOT demanding Kodi use. Linux/LibreELEC boxes are better for demanding Kodi users anyway.
If done than way you will not have to worry about Android Apps 1080p > 4K picture upscaling issues nor needing to have a DD+ AVR connected to an external Android TV box just to get 5.1 DD+ from such streaming Apps.
Also with the big mainstream push by Apple towards DolbyVision compatibility with their new ATV 4K, you might want to consider buying a DV compatible TV with that already built in and running, or at least the ability to add DV compatibility with a Firmware update.
I've not heard anything about DV compatibility from the likes of say NVIDIA for adding this DV feature to their Shield.
