You will struggle with a pi3 and 1080p, I had a pi3 for Kodi and it couldn’t run 1080p very well at all. The pi4 on the other hand, will display 1080p from a TV card just fine.

Home Assistant has a lot of moving parts, all the add-ons and extra user stuff. So they provide a docker image with everything you need, they also provide a full appliance install for easy setup.
