Another option for the Steam link, as Samsung isn’t reliable
as you guys may or may not know Samsung has removed their Steam Link app from their app store after November 30 2023 now I have no option to play PC game on my TV with extremely low latency and the two android set top box i tried have absolutely terrible latency even with Ethernet cable plugged in what devices/software i can use to let me play PC games on TV without unplugging my entire PC and carrying it's 10KG(probably) heft just to play forza for 1 hour on big TV (Steam Link app on Samsung's app store works extremely well, i literally cannot feel any latency and the only clue that tells me I'm using steam link is compression for streaming
I prefer using a laptop with parsec. I've never faced any issues. Just ensure you turn off the warning alerts, since even strong networks sometimes report package loss. With a device that supports Steam, you could also play games directly via Steam. It's unclear if Samsung TVs work well as wireless monitors for Windows, but you can test the latency.
I haven't used it directly, but the RaspPi 4 likely offers hardware acceleration for 4K H.265 encoding (not H.264). Make sure any streaming tools you use support this format. Check documentation first. If your laptop is over a decade old, you might encounter issues decoding 4K video.
