alt Hacker NewsSupported is different from doing it well though. You do notice the performance hit even on TVs that playback YouTube videos on AV1.
Even on 1080p videos running on AV1 on 1x, the TV system bogs down and any kind of interaction has a variable 1-3s lag. On some TVs if you do 1.25x the TV automatically "downgrades" the resolution to 480p to avoid dropping frames.
I wish there was an option to still use VP9 / H.264 on those systems (even limited to 1080p).

Youtube artificially limits the resolution, on mine if you cast the exact same video it doesn’t impose that limit and works fine.
More reason to never use the builtin stuff in a tv. Cheap sticks can handle decoding fine.
