I presumed the best way would be having the TV receive the data internally through an app as opposed to over HDMI.If you can play Dolby Vision fine on your computer's browser or Jellyfin Media Player, it will work fine being sent to the TV display over HDMI. Being connected by a cable doesn't mean that the TV will do processing in tandem with the computer. The computer is doing all of the work and sending the final processed file to be displayed on the connected screen. Just make sure to turn on HDR for the TV in Window's (if you're using Windows that is) display settings when watching HDR content. Windows even has a shortcut for the HDR toggle: win+alt+b
If you think about it, all you're really doing by using the TV app is having the TV's own internal computer do all the processing. You're limited to what it supports as TV manufacturers try to skimp out on build costs to maximize profits and they sometimes put underpowered hardware compared to what you could get elsewhere.
I think the biggest hurdle for keeping it simple for your users by using a PC would be figuring out where to hold and store a wireless keyboard and mouse (or one of those Logitech wireless keyboards that have a mouse where the ten-keypad would be).
