Your PC should be enough to handle plex with 4k hevc files. Obviously I'd want to avoid transcoding as much as possible but it's a consideration. Is the 918+ the way to go? I'd read transcoding with 4K sources are inconsistent. I've changed various over and the issue persists.

The other minor issue I have is if I stream a 4K remux with Dolby Atmos the Atmos logo appears as it should at the start it will then randomly appear at points through the film. My CX is simply used as a display while the Shield and server PC do the heavy lifting. Just to clarify I have PC as Plex or Emby server (as I tried both to see if there was any difference, there wasn't) feeding my Emby or Plex client on Shield TV 2019 Pro which connects into my LG CX. Its not that recent but has an overclocked in 2600k running at 4.5ghz, 32gb of RAM and a 1060 6gb? I then use the Shield TV 2019 Pro as a client connected to my LG CX. I'm assuming my Server PC would be powerful enough though.
