... In the back of my mind always is the problem:  "new but not TOO new".

If you want to stay on the save side i wouldn't go beyond Haswell Gen. Intel CPU's and

AMD bevore Ryzen... no, not for video editing on big screens, if it comes to compression.

Have a look on a used Dell T1700 like this one:

(Imho the build in graphic card would have to be replaced for 4K output

Should work with almost any recent open source OS for x86_64

Good luck!
