Hi guys!
Im trying to extend my existing gaming setup to my living room. However I dont feel like buying a second PC just for this purpose is worth it at all. I would like the idea to extend my setup through whatever cabling would be needed, into my living rooms desk. On the desk i'd love to place a second pair of peripherals (generic FHD Monitor and some good Gaming Mouse/Keyboard) and also plug in my Samsung S90C from there.
In short, I want to extend my setup to the living room, whenever I decide to turn on the devices and get gaming without much configuration hassle everytime I want to play on the TV.
I made a quick sketch of how my setup should ideally look when i'm done. However I need help with deciding which cabling to pull through the walls and which adapters/docks or similar to use.
In my dream scenario I would just be able to press an "on" button on the secondary desk to turn on a dock or similar and connect the 2 displays to the main pc.
The goal is to skimp on a second PC, because upgrading just one pc regularly is already expensive enough imo.
The cable length I'd need from the main desk to the secondary desk would ideally be 15 meters and from the secondary desk to the TV 10 meters
Would this be possible to do with some Optical HDMI cables?
I've seen some videos about the CalDigit Thunderbolt docks (TS4) or those icron USB Docks which work through Cat 6a/7 cables.
However im unsure if any of those solutions would even work.
Id love your help!
