I don't even see ANY non-smart TVs here above 40", so price is irrelevant.
But Panasonic & Samsung UI are better than Android TV (or Amazon Fire derived version) because Android TV seems designed for someone at a desk using apps, not someone at normal distance watching TV channels, DVD/BD and streaming. Certainly our aged dumb Toshiba (10+ years?) and our new smart Samsung has a far better UI than the Sony Andriod TV which has just sort of died.
Also if you do want streaming a separate HDMI stick/box/laptop is better apart from the privacy issues of Smart TV (most report what TV channels & disc titles you watch as well as all the app and streaming activity).
