Can you help me find the best device to cast my Galaxy tab to my TV?

This used to be so easy, now, it's a total pain in the @##.  

I would prefer a cable but all the cable/adapters I see are not compatible with Netflix and Amazon Prime.

I had a miracast but it no longer works.  Someone said I can download new drivers but my computer wouldn't even recognize it.

There's a myriad of firesticks, chrome casts, mira scan,  cables but all seem to get poor reviews.

The firestick seems good for direct scanning Netflix and Prime but doesn't seem so good at mirroring a tablet.

I prefer not to overspend but would rather pay more for something reliable rather than something sketchy.  And lagging and poor video audio synchronization drive me batty.

So, without being snarky, can you please help me.
