I am sitting on a desk PC the whole day at work, which I believe has caused my ability to play games on my PC to diminish. I have found the following solutions, so I am asking to see if any of you has done something like that:

  1. Buy a console (the easiest)
  2. Connect the PC and the TV to a router to form an Ethernet LAN, and stream from the PC to the console using Steam Link
  3. Connect the GPU's HDMI output to the TV's and the computer screen's inputs using a 1x2 HDMI switch

With solutions (2) and (3) converting the PC to a console so I can sit on the couch and relax.

Also, have you found your tastes change after starting work? I used to be into games with complex stories and/or challenging gameplay but now I feel to tired for that.

Thanks

    I use the Sunshine/Moonlight combo of apps to stream my PC (steam big picture) to an android box plugged in my TV. It's quite easy to set up and works surprisingly well. There's a hiccup once in a while because i'm using WiFi but it's really minimal and could probably be completely avoided if the whole network was wired.

      Sunshine/Moonlight is amazing. I use an nvidia shield for the client which works well.
