I have a 4K 120Hz TV that I have blocked from internet access on my router (because it is spyware with no way to turn off the built in microphone) and I have a desktop that supports 4K but I don’t want to run my desktop into the ground streaming on it all the time.

I’d like one that isn’t American I guess if that really matters (seems like it kind of does) but I noticed options are limited unless you want to spend $600 on a mini PC which I don’t.

I’d like to spend like $200 max if possible for this if possible.

    If it’s just streaming (from big providers or home server) and that the device doesn’t not really do transcoding, try to find an used mini PC with decent specs (the only problem will be to find a PC that uses 4k@120hz but it’s really not a problem to have 60Hz cause most of the movies are going to be 24 or 30 fps…) And you’ve got it for 50$
