Should I putchase a 4-year-old nVidia TV Pro, another technology, or wait for next Gen?

It's my birthday, and I want the upscaling, the single platform, the flexibility (sailing the high seas), but it's soooo old. $200? IDK

Pi4 and Kodi in the form of OSMC or Libreelec is cheaper and IMO better

As far as I know, the pi4 cannot output 10-bit 4k hdr or Dolby vision, which makes it basically a non-starter as a media box.

I also think it struggles with h.264 high bitrate content.

Mine outputs 10bit HDRjust fine even with DV. Takes changing some settings but it's not rocket surgery.

The biggest issue with Pi and Kodi setups is the lack of good remotes and sleep/standby. Get a Shield if you want stuff to "just work".

How come? Does it support anything higher than 1080p?
