I'm not sure about that. Whenever I've used my PC to stream to my TV it's been less responsive and much slower. Unless I go for the super long hdmi cable to my gaming PC, but that's just a faff.
I guess it varies greatly by TV though. My Samsung is super fast, but have recently had the misfortune of using a Philips which has similar functionality but is horrendously slow. I know nothing about Roku TV other than the kerfuffle about ads, but assume they are a bit shitty.
Don't stream to the TV, you do have to plug it in directly. A Raspberry Pi sized computer is perfect for this, and then you don't need to run a cable all the way to your gaming PC.
