Currently I connect to my Apple Studio Display via Thunderbolt and then use the HDMI port on my Macbook Pro M4 to connect to a Samsung Frame 55 Smart TV....I am wondering if I would get the same performance (latency/quality) if I connected the Samsung TV to the rear ports of the Studio Display via a USB-C to HDMI Cable; or will there be better performance by connecting HDMI directly to the Macbook Pro? Trying to keep as few cables necessary to connect to my Laptop for convenience.
Got a tip for us?

There is only one video-capable port on the Studio Display - the input one you are using.
The other ports are outputs for USB data-handling devices.
So you can't daisy-chain monitors with Mac OS (except Thunderbolt monitors with 2 TB ports).
