Comment on Note: before tariffs
red@sopuli.xyz 3 weeks ago1: 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.
