Been really happy with my TP Link X50 POE.
I'd try and get your APs out a bit more.
Also, as mentioned, run Cat6 to every TV location, and where you think you might want cameras in the future.

I think any of those 3 would work for you. I personally have setup my home network on the Deco X50 mesh system with 4 AP in total, and my smart home network in Home Assistant. No issues at all and provides a fair amount of control over your devices and network (priority, IP reservation, preferred bands/AP, etc. ).
I got those cheapo deco x50 with wired backhaul, there are better ones. But the biggest difference I made was everything that doesn't move gets a cable. *everything*
My opinion. Asus aimesh. I have tried TP Link X50 but they spend more time offline than on. Orbi is superb however its too rigid. One router and 2 satellites doesnt like bridge mode or AP Mode. I moved to Asus with RT-BE92U as router and XD4 mini access points. Router mode, AP mode both work well. Versatility of being able to use most of their routers interchangeably as access points. There are downsides. Asus mesh doesnt seem to like IoT devices for smart home. Speakers, bulbs etc. Haven't tried Ubiquiti which a lot of people absolutely praise. If it was within my budget I would try it. Comes down to budget. If you can afford it. Ubiquiti by all accounts. Asus is a great option, Orbi is good if you use it as they want you to. TP Link for me is budget friendly but I think you would end up replacing it and spending again.
I run Decos (AX3000) in my house which was built like a f\*\*\*ing faraday cage. 2300 feet and I need 3 mesh units to get coverage throughout, plus another one just outside the back door (X50) to reach the backyard, otherwise the signal is gone after 15 feet.

The brand isn't specifically the issue here, it's that you choose the base entry models such as the x10 & x20...
You need to choose the appropriate models that will cater for the capacity and coverage your going to need.
Deco is a basic home user mesh system that supports guest and iot networks, although I only ever use the x50 and above models...
Ubiquiti once again is a brand and if you choose the wrong models, then your going to be blindly saying Ubiquiti is rubbish...
Make sure you use a controller with Ubiquiti vs stand alone access points, individually configured.
Well I'd be considering simply upgrading your Deco system with atleast one x50 if not two...
Deco x50 2 pack is roughly $300
It's going to be cheaper than going down the Ubiquiti route, considering your going to need a UX7 at roughly $400 + a U7-IW and stand at roughly another $400 to replicate your current setup.
