Cheap TV box on Android will play video at a resolution of 1920x1080 in fullscreen mode without any lag. And in 4K too.
Windows or Linux computer will play 4K locally.
WTware has local chromium and local VNC to play video locally:

https://wtware.com/docs5/vlc.html
With RDP, video will be much more expensive and always worse.
To play video over RDP, Windows Server decode video into memory. If you see 60FPS in video player in mstsc.exe, it's 60 frames decoded into memory on server. Not displayed on terminal screen. I have never seen more than 15FPS on client screen over RDP neither in mstsc.exe nor in wtware.
And then Windows Server encodes video into the format that RDP can handle. Lossy encoding always makes video worse. Encoding heavily uses server CPU. Graphic acceleration this time only works if server runs on bare hardware, not in virtual machine.
