Looking for a powerfull TV box - 4k ambilight

I just purchased a new TV (TCL 65C7K), it's great and look beautiful !
My old TV was only 1080p, so I had no issue doing both playback and screen capture at the same time.

But now, in 4k, the playback is at like 5fps when the screen capture is on. I need the screen capture for my DIY ambilight system. The app I am using is the hyperion-android-grabber, but I have tried others and all have the same issue.
The problem is that the SOC of the TV is not powerful enough for both playback and recording at the same time.

I have seen online a lot of people recommending the Nvidia Shield, but I just bought a brand new TV, so the shield is a bit out of my price range.

What TV box would you recommend that could handle 4k and be under 150 euros ? (if that even exists)

Also, i live in Europe if that narrow things down.
