Wireless streaming desktop to TV?

[stevenkoalae]

I recently moved to a new apartment, and linking my tv with HDMI cable to my pc is no longer an option. I usually use my TV as an additional monitor to watch movies and TV programs (mostly from netflix) when friends are here. I wonder if there is any device out there would let me wireless stream my pc desktop to my TV. On the other hand, if I spend around 60 dollars, I could buy myself an extra pc case and a power supply. With the spare pc parts I have, I could build myself a basic media center. Would that be a cheaper solution?

 

Thanks in advance!

You could pick up a Chromecast

Tivo is another option but a bit pricey...

I totally also suggest that you pick up a Chromecast as it only cost $35 (USA) and you are able to send videos, Netflix and other stuff to your screen anywhere in your network as long as its connected to the same router. I believe the only problem is that it has to be connected to the same router and not just the same network. If anyone has a fix for this let me know.

You can also cast your desktop / chrome browser. But I believe this is without audio

I heard a lot about chromecast as well and was considering buying one as well. Nevertheless, I would feel more comfortable if there is some kind of "wireless HDMI", cause someday I do hope to play games on my TV if given the chance.  

 

Any of you guys know anything about Steam Link? For 50 dollars it lets you stream games and wireless controller control, I wonder if it can just stream your desktop. That would solve all my problems!!
