Hello.
In the near future I aim to upgrade my basic PC with a GT710. It will have an HDMI port (similar to the $69 gaming PC). The main goal is to switch to fully wireless setups on one monitor, which will stay at the desk while another monitor moves around—sometimes near the desk, sometimes close to the bed for late-night gaming. I want to work during the day and relax at night with games or work on a TV or bed. All devices except the monitor power cable should be wireless: mouse, keyboard, headphones. I need to send signals via wireless HDMI over about 6 to 7 meters.

This sounds feasible. Wireless displays and peripherals are common for gaming and other tasks. Games like GTA 4, Crysis, Saints Row, and various open-world, racing, and first-person shooter titles would work well. For the best performance, what HDMI transmitter should I choose?
Thanks for your help, Vincent.

The suitability of gaming wireless HDMI depends on your home's structure.

Wireless HDMI sounds problematic for gaming (latency), particularly when it's not high-end >10ghz equipment.
I’d just purchase a 15-20 meter HDMI cable and run it through the ceiling, and that would be enough.
Wireless keyboards and mice work if they have a direct connection to the receiver.

I actually viewed that specific video right before I posted. Yes, it was filmed outdoors. Perhaps a tall bookshelf blocked the view, though the walls might be made of brick or something similar.

But the problem here is that the monitor could have two other spots except for the location at the PC so a cable wood be a bit dificult since i will move this at any time of day and want to do it as easy as possible. kinda like a laptop. but i can't upgrade my laptop cause can't afford that right now.
Mostly open air area as I said only a bookcase may be in the way. but otherwise no walls or anything.

I believe the best option for wireless gaming is to use streaming solutions such as Steam in home streaming, Nvidia game streaming, or whatever Microsoft has included. Look for a compact device like a Raspberry Pi and mount it on the back of your monitor, then set everything up. It might require more effort, but it should work smoothly.
