Hi there, presently I have a ds413j with 4x 4tb wd red in shr, hard wired (cat 4) to an old Samsung TV. I primarily store 1080p films and stream them to the TV by manually scrolling through folders, or sometimes using dsvideo app on my phone (hit and miss whether it works or not). The Samsung is too old for the dsvideo app, or YouTube app, or playing x265. Time for a replacement. I've not used plex but it seems to be available for most tvs (£1000 mark), whereas dsvideo is only available for Samsung tvs. I'm basically wondering what set up people have success with, as I'd like a nicer gui, perhaps a search function etc and my choice of tv will depend on which way I go...
Also, is my ds413j good enough for running plex? Along these same lines, will there be a picture quality improvement by having a better (faster) nas streaming to the tv, or is that just down to source material? I took a memory stick with a 1080p film to test the samsung q80, and wasn't particularly impressed with the picture quality. Is that due to the £10 memory stick, or what I'm likely to get from the nas?
Apologies for the long thread, too many questions...
