How difficult is it to set up one of those? I've rooted a tablet but I have basically zero coding experience.

You don’t need coding experience. You just need to find an OS that’s capable of running on the unique hardware — I personally use Alpine Linux. More broadly speaking it’s tricky to install on ARM but Raspberry Pi is pretty well supported.

I think the main question is what content do you want to play out? It allegedly plays 1080p things just fine but can see artefacts around 4k. So a mixed bag if you have alot of high bitrate 4k content (or the not so long future of 8k)

PS not tried ot myself but seems to be the information i managed to find online about it.
