Question 4KTV stream with hardwired internet or HDMI?

[Rocketman6965]

Hi all,
New to forum. I may be overthinking this but I want to stream 4K, YouTube TV, Disney+, etc. I can hardwire my Samsung 4k but I've been told the port is only 100MB. I know many say that you only need 40MB for most streaming applications.
I wondered if my streaming apps were on my computer, would it have less buffering issues. From my pea brain knowledge, I figure with 1GB internet and a 1GB port on my computer, the HDMI output would be a lot more efficient. I have not hooked any of this up yet. Thanks in advance. Joe

unless you are steaming from your local computer. most of the issue is the internet

Yes. I’d be streaming from my local computer that would be hardwired as well.

You have the TV.
You have the PC.
You have the cables.

Try it both ways.
What happens?

Doubt you'll see any difference either way.

I can see the difference between a true 2160p (4K) versus 1440p or 1080p YouTube video.
