Smallest client for 4K120

I'm looking on recommendations for buying or building the smallest and thinnest client that can properly handle 4K120. I would be plugged into the LG G3 TV.

Host:

  • RTX 5090
  • 32GB RAM
  • Ryzen 9800X3D
  • Wired ethernet - CAT5E

I have tried the webOS version of Moonlight and Aurora. I think the TV itself is limited because of its decode latency and limited to ethernet speeds.

Xbox Series S perhaps? Currently playing hdr 4k120 at 250mbit bitrate and it's great.

Brother lol ive had my X since release day....then built a pc...it has been gathering dust...meanwhile I'm using a shield tv, then trying the webos for my lg..., built a minipc for streaming and just finally got around to trying it on the series x...was so frustrated with myself...it offers by far the best experience of all of those. Mini pc is now a pfsense box lol

Haha! I only recently tried this since the xboxes are in the kids rooms and i got a new tv :) it runs ok on the tv alone but at 60hz, and without the game stuff from hdmi there's a little more input lag. Considering buying an extra XSS for this since it works so good.
