I have an lg TV, and have plugged in a Chromecast and a Fire stick. Jellyfin can stream to Chromecast and the app is available on fire TV to connect to your server. I’m switching to a linux based living room PC at the moment for more privacy. I’ve also tinkered with raspberry Pi in the past and it works well with Jellyfin.
There are so many options, you honestly don’t have to be held back by LG.
You can install the Jellyfin app for Android TV and it works really well. Additionally, if you use YouTube, you can sideload SmartTube, which removes ads and auto-skips sponsored segments on some videos.
I have this setup for my parents, if that gives you an idea of how well it works for “non-technical” people. At home I have a similar setup except I’m using the Nvidia shield, which is pricier, but I would recommend it if you have a 4k TV - it uses “AI” (ML, really) to upscale content to 4k and it works really well.

Ignore difficulty of setting up, but which device is easier for non-technical people to use with a remote control?
I’d recommend the Chromecast.
