Wireless PC gaming using a Smart TV results in an unpleasant experience.
Wireless PC gaming using a Smart TV results in an unpleasant experience.
So I wanted to try PC gaming with the Smart TV as a second screen. I got myself a decent wireless controller (Xbox 360), remapped key bindings with the Joy2Key software (took me ages), connected the TV via the Wi-Fi, put my Bluetooth headset on, run the game...
...and it's unbearable. The sound is fine, but the video transmission is bad and the input lag is terrible. I mapped the mouse controls to the right stick, but it's extremely imprecise, even after adjusting the emulation speed.
I know it's better with the games built with controller in mind, but apart from that - how do you guys pull it off? A PC game + wireless controller + Smart TV = how do I make it work? Do I really have do dig a 3 meter long HDMI wire out?
I'm on Windows 10.
Thanks!
yes you do need to connect directly. that amount of data requires a lot of time for a wireless display to function quickly. gaming will never work that way. a wireless controller is acceptable because it sends very little data, which is enough for speed. however, the fast frame rates in games are not the design intent. get a wired cable and it will work fine. a wireless gaming monitor is never going to be reliable.
