as others have mentioned, the raspberry pi 4 is pretty slow at decoding video, but the 4gb or 8gb does work well as a single or dual screen development computer. however, I have have been using a jetson tx1, and later tx2 dev kit as my computer since 2016, as those were better than what was available at the time. i also use a jetson nano 4gb, with patched mpv to play one or more 1080p60 videos with acceleration, local or streaming with no issues. i assume the jetson 2gb would work similarly, just use a window manager like i3 on the raspi4 and jetson boards. also I believe the upcoming orin nx boards with 6 core with 8gb and 8 core with 16gb lpddr5 will very nice.
