I've noticed there are lots of benchmarks for laptops, for phones, but what about for smart TV's? Many of them now run some form of Android, such as Fire TV's, or Google TV's. I think this means you could actually run a benchmark program on them, correct?

I've long wanted to be able to consult a benchmark comparison list for all of the smart TV's out there in the market, to be able to compare how well games would play on it, how snappy it is, etc.

Has someone already been posting this somewhere?

Rtings.com is about as close as you get. That being said, take their overall scores with a grain of salt. They tend to have biases for certain technology and give higher weight on certain features of their overall score that cause some strange results (where a Sony Bravia 9 scores the same as a TCL QM8K when they are not even in the same league in terms of performance, where somehow the Sony with a measured 292,950:1 contrast ratio only score 8.9 vs TCL's lower measured 273,200:1 ratio gets a 9.3....and Sony just blowing the TCL away on color accuracy, video processing, sharpness, smoothness, color gradients, dark scene accuracy, basically anything to do with displaying a picture, yet they both somehow get the same overall score?).

Another thing to watch for is that many times Rtings only reviews the smallest TV from that model. These are many times not indicative to the performance of the larger sets, as many times the larger size screens use entirely different panels and even completely different suppliers for the larger models than the smaller ones.
