Only want to know why I would run the new Desktop app on my Mac versus just viewing the PMS in a browser window?

The desktop applications direct play more audio & video codecs than Plex Web. Plex Web is limited by the browsers, so 4K, HEVC, & several audio formats must transcode. They’ll direct play in Plex Media Player, Plex for Mac, or Plex for Windows.
