I've tried streaming to an oculus rift (1) before it crapped out at ~ 2yr point but it was better when connected via a long usb-c line directly.Įxcellent low input lag across all input resolutions and refresh rates, as long as ' Game Mode' is activated. I do have a nvidia shield that can stream but I don't prefer to for some of the above mentioned reasons. People claim their system fan profiles run 'silent' but it's really only silent when your pc is turned off (or in a remote location). I used to do the same from a basement storage room for my main rig years ago which allowed me to crank the fans on the system with zero running noise at all at my desk/command center. That is a huge benefit of doing longer HDMI runs. You can hear the fans in that scenario though, even ~ 9' away at the tv, so eventually I'll probably run a fiber HDMI from my main rig in order to keep the living room silent. and would have the full power of your desktop GPU and CPU.Ĭurrently I'm running a Legion 5 pro with rtx 3700 (140w laptop version that I got on a sub $1500 deal in early february) on my tv via it's hdmi 2.1 output at times, playing Elden Ring.

That would avoid any streaming latency or other bugginess, resolution, VRR, Hz, HDR limitations etc. Then you'd have a fiber HDMI output (and usb-c output) from what is typically the strongest GPU in your house at your main PC straight to your tv as if it was a monitor at your desk. The best scenario here in my opinion is if you have a hdmi 2.1 tv capable of 120hz VRR (variable refresh rate). They do sell fiber HDMI up to 100' or more but you are pushing your luck going that far for 4k 120hz 444 (and VRR). That and/or through a wall then using some plastic conduit they make for computer stuff (snap on little flat rectangular box kind that forms a slim box conduit strip as you snap pieces together) if you want to clean up wherever the cable is running in sight. If room(s) away this might mean running through floor joists in basement or ceiling joists in attic. They also sell fiber USB-C cables that you can connect to a usb hub at your tv for wireless devices/bluetooth transcievers.

There are fiber HDMI 2.1 cables available now (8k 60hz/4k 120hz) so if you are anywhere 50 to 75 feet away you can run a fiber HDMI cable from your PC.
