Hello everyone,
Let's get this out of the way first: I hate wires. I love wireless tech because i think that it is the future.
So i recently bought a Lenovo Legyon Y540 (i5 9300H / RTX2060) and a Smart TV (LG 49UM7100PLB) because i really, really wanted to sit on my couch with my Wireless XBox One controller in hand and play the Witcher 3 (for the 3rd or 4th time).
I used the Windows 10 Connect function to connect my laptop to the TV (Wireless); set the TV screen as the only screen active; and launched the Witcher 3 and it worked.
But something was a miss. The quality of the image was poor. i mean, it was playable but it looked bad. The foliage looked like blobs of green squares and it took a very long time for the image to sharpen itself so that it, again, looked decent.
Now, don't think i'm stupid in using tech that i do not understand, or expecting miracles from tech which are very far off. I knew from the very beginning that this would not work well and connecting to wireless displays is not for playing graphically intense games; but i was expecting it to be way better that it actually is.
So, my questions are: where do you think the problem lies? and what can i do to improve this experience?
For reference, i already gave you the model of my laptop and TV; they are both connected to the 5Ghz wireless band of my home router: D-Link DIR842 (yes, it has crossed my mind that this router could act as a bottleneck. I will be testing this later this week with a friend who is rich and whom can afford more expensive networking kit).
Also, just for reference, i have tried both 1080 and 4K (because i'm insane) and they pretty much behave the same.
Also, also, i have tried both Low graphics settings in game and Ultra and Ultra behaves better for some reason. (you would think that having to pass more graphical data through a 5Ghz WiFi network would make the experience worse, but, in fact it makes it better).
Also, also, also, the TV is set in Game Mode (because i'm ... Gaming) and the WiFi signal.... well, basically i took the router and placed it between the Laptop and the TV and it didn't make a difference.
