Best way to wirelessly use a TV for PC gaming?

[Guest]

For unrelated reasons I don't want to run a really long display cable from my desktop PC to my TV so I'm wondering what's the best way to use the TV for PC gaming? My PC has a WiFi card and a really stable internet connection and I've tried casting to the TV as a wireless display in Windows but the latency is really bad. Are there perhaps any capable wireless dongles or have I hit a dead end?

Have you tried Steam Remote Play? My Sony Android TV has a Steam Link app and it works pretty well.

The steam link device unfortunately doesn't seem to be sold anymore but you can use a raspberry Pi to run steam link if you TV doesn't have the app.

There are wireless HDMI transmission products on the market. I know monoprice has a few under the name Blackbird. 

search for "wireless HDMI extender" on your market of choice and something will pop up.

The best way is to run a really long display cable...
Going wireless (for now) means you will introduce lag and compression, as you have already figured out:

Standard WiFi doesn't have enough bandwidth to do what you want it to do without compressing the video feed (which also introduces lag).
WiFi 6 has max theoretical bandwidth of 9.6 Gb/s across multiple channels... Wireless tech simply can't handle this stuff, for now.... unless you go with some really expensive specialized stuff.

Oof, Monorice, what happened... Good catch
