I was walking around a local Walmart and saw these on an end cap. They had no price tag, so I scanned it with the Walmart app and they came out to $249.99. I picked up 2 and they still had 6 more on the shelf.

I use an old Celeron with Quicksync. I've personally hit 22 1080p at once. I don't transcode 4k so couldn't give you an estimate there.
It's amazing how many people don't realize this and frequently recommend adding GPUs for Plex. That's not needed and purely a waste of money. Even the Plex subreddit has hoards of individuals frequently recommending a GPU for Plex. Feel free... but it's a waste of money.
edit: Use Linux in this use case to avoid any headaches. I recommend Ubuntu

With plexpass hardware transcoding, this uses Intel QuickSync and can handle 22+ 1080 transcodes without issue.

There is another configuration with the i5 at the same price. But that does NOT have the monitor. Would it be worth getting that one vs the i3?
