There are so many options out there, it’s kind of dizzying.

I’m looking for a cheap solution that I could hook up to a TV and ethernet, so it could run a flavor of Linux (or BSD) and play videos at 1080p. Bonus points if it can handle 1080p@60 FPS. Other than that, it would be used for light web browsing.

I was looking at Raspberry Pi 4, but is there anything else you would suggest?

    Thanks for the feedback. As it turns out, my brother had one on hand to try out and it played 1080p movies just fine. So yeah, RPi 4 is probably what I’m going with. Either that or a Rock64.
