Hello Everyone,
I understand if this was already addressed, but I wasn't able to find a suitable answer on my own.
I'm seeking an affordable, straightforward method to stream games from my PC to the living room TV. I want to enjoy simple titles like Crash Bandicoot or single-player games such as The Witcher 3. I prefer not to play fast-paced or multiplayer games and would rather use my PC.
Emulators would be ideal for playing PSX games, but I already have an Xbox controller. A second controller would work if it fits the setup. Wireless options are fine, but a wired connection is acceptable.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Cheers,
Mike

Check if there are any compatibility concerns with your setup. The Steam link uses a certain resolution, but it should work well on your TV if it scales properly.

The link will reduce to 1080p resolution. There seems to be a maximum speed of 30Mbps, which could cause video issues if the screen has a lot of detail. For instance with Witcher 3 or Assassin's Creed Odyssey. It's manageable but noticeable. I'd prefer streaming in 1080p.

Shift your PC over to the living room and end the session.

Certainly not the best option. Thanks everyone for your help, I discovered the Steam link is no longer available. I’ll look for a used one.
