In my experience, the vast majority of folks who upgrade beyond 1Gb for their LAN and/or internet are doing so needlessly.
If you insist, this TPL for $70 would work just fine:

In fact, I'm looking for a 2.5G switch for 4K movies but not so sure if with no-name or lesser-known brands available on Amazon, I'm concerning several key factors: reliability, build quality, performance, support, and potential risks. Any inputs?
Thanks.

You only need 2.5 for large file transfer.
You can edit directly from NAS if you have 10Gbps to 100Gbps.

A UHD Bluray is at MOST 144 Mbps. I'd say you're fine at 1Gb. Unless you're doing a ton of local streams to different users/devices I suppose, but I'm guessing that's not the case.

Ubiquiti flex mini 2.5, $49. Like others have said, gigabit is enough bandwidth for 4k movie streaming.

But being real: My Nvidia shield isn't going to get any faster, no matter what quality content goes over them. The overwhelming majority of data doesn't benefit.
But I can have route traffic between multiple VM's on different VLAN's for different purposes, and a 10G pipe is so vast I don't feel any slowdowns elsewhere. Reality is disk and CPU are the bigger bottlenecks now, but I'm not upgrading the firewall CPU just yet as I don't have a need.
if you google netgear smart managed it should tell you what the differences are.
