(Seeking help) Stream from PC to TV

[Phd123]

Good day, I'm seeking help to stream / cast my PC gaming and even my PC desktop to TV (like dual monitor setup).

The TV is some distance away, and long HDMI cabling is impractical for me. I'm thinking of some options, like chromecast, nvidia shield, and even HDMI to LAN powerline adaptors. What works?

You can consider wireless HDMI. It supports up to 1080p.
I was using one from IOGEAR for a few years before finally wiring up my room.

I also wanna do something like that! But wow, is there another option that doesn't cost me a kidney?

Well, that wireless HDMI costs quite a bit, and I saw only 1 unit in Cybermind sometime back. I got it much earlier via Amazon for abt SGD180. It was worth it for the amount of time I used it. I don't use it now, but keeping it for "just in case".

See if you can plan to wire it. It's still the best and can transfer 4K as well. I bought 15m HDMI2.0 cable for $90+ and wired through my false ceiling. It was worth the investment.

May I ask what your TV brand is and how old it is? Cos my tv supports miracast, I just need to select source on my TV as screen mirroring and I can mirror my pc over wifi. With in built Windows 10 function

if ur tv supports DLNA, u can stream to ur tv without any special device. Else a chromecast or miracast will work as a cheap option

Or if your TV supports Intel WiDi out of the box even better. Just get a compatible Intel wireless adapter for your desktop and connect to it...

Isn't DLNA more for streaming media content?

I've done this using splashtop . Stream PC in bedroom to android in living room within same network. Since you want to connect to TV then connect that android to TV via hdmi.

Have choice of extended display and mirroring. Works for desktop, playing videos and gaming.

My TV is about 4yrs old. It's a smart TV, with dlna, but processor seems slow so I don't use it much.

So primarily, I want to game on the tv, using my PC as the processor. How do I connect, without using a lengthy HDMI cable? I think streaming a video using Chromecast might be ok, but is there any lag when gaming?

To use splashtop, i need to install in on some kind of android device to connect to the TV's HDMI input?

How to know if my tv supports miracast or Intel widi? Actually, how to go about activating these tech in the PC?

Thanks for the support so far. I used to have PC connected to tv directly through HDMI, but cause I've relocated, layout of my living space has changed.

Isnt there Steam Link for this?

Telling us your TV brand and model will be most helpful....
