Hi everyone! My current gaming setup is the following:

  • Desktop PC with AMD CPU and GPU in my studio, WiFi 6 5ghz connected
  • Samsung 4k TV in my living room with a standard Chromecast device in and a (modded) Nintendo Switch, all WiFi connected

I want to find a way to stream my desktop PC game to my living room. What’s the best software and hardware I could use? Do you have something to suggest?

    Don’t Samsung TVs have Steam Link integrated? That would get you pretty far.

    I have a similar problem but with an LG WebOS TV which doesn’t get a Steam app without jailbreaking. Currently, I have a Fujitsu Futro s920 thin client(upgraded to 256 GB SSD and 8 GB RAM) which can output 4k but performance isn’t great.

      It does have Steamlink but last time I tried I had lots of problem with controllers and the video was extremely bright without any reason. Do you think Steam Link would be better if I had a dedicated device such a Chromecast Android TV?

        Sounds like HDR turned on on the TV, but not on the device sending video.
