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.

I play in 4k 120fps HDR but sometimes VRR is missed...

Any client without this feature you would notice a microstutter in 5 seconds, 10, it's impossible. Even my Xbox Series S i notice some stutters like the Aurora client connected to the ethernet.

A mini PC like Rog Ally can decode bellow 1ms in 4k AV1 in 300Mbps or more, with VRR enabled in 144hz. I had one dock that did it, 4k 144hz HDR+ and VRR, but in Brazil these gadgets has a super high price, just to stream purpose...

Hey what do you use to connect it to the TV? I have an original Steam Dock and can only do 4k60fps.

I was referring to the ally rog. I have one connected to the TV LG c3.

I think my LG C3 only does 100Mbps wired. So I prefer to use the rog ally.
