Hi all wanting to upgrade my sitting room pc to play 4K and hdr Dolby vision and hd audio and vc1. The parts I have been looking at are
AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and ASUS PRIME B550-PLUS motherboard as this has hdmi 2.1 output.
Would this be a good start or would different hardware be better as it will be running windows 11 as well.
Thanks for any advice or help on this.

Not sure how many, if any, non-ARM platforms support Dolby Vision (and beware there are lots of different flavours of DV - UHD Blu-rays use a very different route to deliver DV to a display than OTT DRM services like Netflix, Prime, Disney+ and Apple TV+ etc. do. Few platforms capable of running Kodi fully support the DV solution used by UHD Blu-rays in full quality for example).

So it sounds like amd is the way to go with built in glue in the cpu
