Posted March 29, 2018 So I don't have any spare HDMI ports on my PC (3 monitors+this) and I was wondering if I could use my rpi3 to connect and use the TV as a display over wifi. Is this possible?

Posted March 29, 2018 maybe but that latency and potential bandwidth issues would question why you would go that route. A cheap secondary gpu for ports sounds like a better option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this possible? Surely you have a displayport or dvi you can adapt? Failing that, simply use display over USB- way better than wireless. It depends on how long the distance to your TV is, but USB can handle up to 5 meters (~15 ft) it's time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 29, 2018 If you want to use your TV as a gaming setup then I would look a Moonlight. I have a Kodi + Moonlight config on my RPI to stream games. Just note that I would recommend at least ethernet, WiFi is horrible. Tech enthusiast and CS Student Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also far simpler to set up and you'll have less issues going forward. it's time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 29, 2018 There is 2 ways: Cheap: Get an usb to hdmi or usb to vga (Latency yes,max reso:1080) but still very cheap Expensive:Get an gt 610 they go for 30-20$ in Amazon No latency and extra 3/2 ports and it doesent affect perfomance or nothing (If you have extra pci x8/x16 and your cpu supports extra lanes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted April 11, 2018 You could use moonlight not just for gaming but for your use case. I use mine for Kodi and gaming but occasionally I'll just use it for an extra monitor. There is next to no latency with my setup (as in I honestly don't notice it at all) and it was super cheap to setup. You would need to have an existing nvidia gpu that supports gamestream and definitely be hard wired for your case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
