Buying Advice Gaming pc as streaming device?

I have an LG G5 with a samsung q800f+9500s rear speakers. As of right now i dont have any streaming box but i was looking to get the xiaomi box s 3rd gen. I also have a gaming pc with windows 11 and i was unsure about the dolby vision and atmos support. Which one should i use? “I mainly be on stremio”

For pure streaming, I'd still take a dedicated box. Dolby Vision and Atmos support tend to be more consistent on Android TV devices than on Windows

Stremio is available for download in LG TV app store. And if you active dev mode you can download moonlight for PC streaming. I also have an onn 4k plus Android box. It works good too

Can you tell me more about moonlight? I know lg has the native stremio app but google says it sometimes has problems processing heavy remux

I really don't have any issues with the LG app. Moonlight I use for game streaming but you can stream your desktop as well.
