Looking at the spec sheet your tv only supports HDR10 and HLG.

from the spec sheet you linked:

"4K HDR�,� - HDR10, HLG & Dolby Vision� for incredible detail and clarity"

Looks to me like it does Dolby Vision.

Newegg has this micropc on "deep" sale today (*$200 for the 8GB model, $230 for the 16GB)
https://www.newegg.com/msi-cubi-n-adl-nettop-computer/p/1VK-0053-00U47?Item=9SIB0GJK3C3373

It is a n100, comes with an upgradable 512 nvme, and RAM is upgradable to 64GB....

I'm very tempted to replace my ancient rig running my plex needs, but am not certain that it'll be up to the task. We store most/all of our content on external HDDs already.
I'm attracted to the low power draw of a system like this vs some deep discounted cpu/mobo/ram combo somewhere.

any advice/input?

My understanding is the GPU on the n100 is great for plex transcoding since it offers the latest version of Intel's quicksync, assuming you have a plex pass.
