I want to buy a TV box only for Netflix. Regardless the price, can you suggest any brand TV box?
My current TV box can not run Netflix because it is from China.

Onn 4k for entry level
Nvidia Shield if moeny is no issue.
I have a number of Android TV devices over the years, and the Chromecast Google TV is the least I would recommend as it's quite expensive for its spec

Basically, you need a TV Box that runs real Android/Google TV and not just android thrown onto a box and also received Netflix certification

some examples include
Mecool KM2 and KM2 Plus
Mi Box S
Google Chromecast with Google TV
Walmart Onn

for cheap options, Onn
Mecool basically never receives any software updates
Mi Box S is ancient at this point
Nvidia Shield TV is expensive but has stuff like AI Upscaling
and if budget is no issue, Nvidia Shield TV Pro

Good or bad is depends on the usage. If user want simple & guaranty work go for the netflix / prime certified box such as Unifi TV box / xiaomi box

I have a Mecool M8S PRO L, rarely used.

Managed to custom flash it to android TV 9 version.

But only can managed up to Netflix HD, but other than that should be working fine with most other apps.

If anyone wants to get it, can drop me a PM.
