1: Ah, I didn't do any console gaming from around 2009 to 2015, didn't realize it was that bad
2: Works for some games. I play lots of driving and fast paced games, and the input latency from streaming just plain makes them unplayable.
Ah, true, thats fair, with the input latency.
There may be more effective solutions to that, but that gets complicated fast depending on a lot of technical factors, layout of your home, budget constraints, etc.
BT would work if my PC was in range, then the input would be fast, but still the added image latency makes micro adjustments pain since you see them late, still.
Running a DP cable instead of streaming would fix that, but you'd need a converter to transform into HDMI for the TV.
HDMI over long distance doesn't work.
That all sounds about right, yeah, a DisplayPort cable would work... but basically yeah, there aren't many (any?) TVs that have DP ... ports, and a long DP cable can be fairly pricey...
A ... relatively cheap wireless solution might work if you dropped the resolution down to 2K or 1080, but it sounds like you're going for 4k?
But Im just spitballing, sounds like you know your setup and have looked into this.
Using 1080 to minimize latency already. Can play lesurely platformers, but even playing arcade racing games like Wreckfest, you just lose all feel for the car since tapping the controller applies the change with too much delay.
Hardwiring would be the only way. That's why I'm gonna build a steam os pc for the living room once it's feasible.
Alternate solution: Live in a studio apartment lol?
Yeah, you're on top of this and know your shit.
I just originally wanted to point out that there are generally workable solutions in case you had no idea... but yeah, you know your shit, and with games that need both super low latency on input registry and display output... yep, basicslly you still gotta go wired.
... Maybe get swoll, or put your existing PC on some kind of wheeled base, set a cable management situation with the living room TV and your room monitors and controller for just... moving the PC around?
Yeah I can't think of much more than that -.-
Ofc building a second machine is also a reasonable solution if that fits your preferences/budget situation.
