zero delay screen recording
Hello, I just moved into a new flat and am curious about using a TV screen across the room without any cables. I want to set up a wireless connection that offers smooth performance so I can play games without moving my laptop or charger. My old setup used an HDMI cable, but this one is larger and I don’t want messy wires. I’m also thinking about streaming videos from my laptop onto the TV screen while playing. Is it feasible to achieve that wirelessly?
It seems my TV isn't built with Wi-Fi in mind; it requires a particular external adapter from Samsung to enable it. Given its age, I'm uncertain about the availability and cost of such a device. I might need a separate dongle or alternative solution.
There are a few issues here. Even with a native connection, adding the network can cause some delay. Unless you have a 10gb link, this might happen. I've noticed how Chromecast performs in similar setups. There was a clear lag—about three seconds—between the TV and PC while people played driving games online.
Steam link offers a practical choice here. It delivers games from your device to the shared connection throughout your home, provided you have an Ethernet link. While it may work via Wi-Fi, a wired setup is recommended for optimal results.
Advantages: allows remote play, works with most gamepads at low cost (used devices under $20-$50 can run on supported platforms), supports 60fps at 1080p, no need for TV adapters.
Disadvantages: streaming may reduce game performance, not all titles perform well, extra hardware needed for input devices like mouse and keyboard.
I currently own a Steam Link device but haven’t used it yet since I haven’t needed it. It came with a used controller. If you’re considering this option, I can configure it and share my experience.
