Out of the gaming cave and into the cosy living room!

Who hasn't dreamt of how great it would be to be able to enjoy the contents of the PC in the living room? Games and films simply look so much better on the big screen. What's more, it's definitely better to sit and lie on the sofa. Let me explain how the dream can become reality.
Since I recently bought a new TV and assembled a new PC, the time is ripe to bring the whole thing into the living room. Well, in my case, the "gaming cave" isn't quite as uncomfortable as in the picture. But series, films and lots of games are simply more fun in the living room. But how do you get your PC into your cosy living room without having to call the train service? The magic word is streaming.

Gaming in the living room
Home cinema from PC to TV
If, like me, you save all your films on your PC, you'll be pleased to have the simplest possible way of getting them onto your TV. The Steam Link streams all content from the PC to the screen without any problems (yes, even the desktop), so it's not a big challenge. The picture quality here is also impeccable, I don't miss 4k as I don't own any UHD films at the moment.
Conclusion
The Steam Link is a reliable and uncomplicated device that lets you get your games and films from your PC to your living room TV and your bum on the sofa in no time at all. It's not quite good enough for 4K and the most frantic first-person shooters might not be your favourite discipline, but all in all it's a really tempting offer. <p


I came into contact with the gaming world early on. Growing up with Gameboy, SNES and Star Wars tapes, Luke, Link and Ark (I still lose my senses from them... #insiderjoke) were my heroes. Later I was influenced by more "western" titles like Baldur's Gate or Gothic, until I finally discovered Halo and Call of Duty. The Duron 700 MHz CPU was given to me as a birthday present, until I wasted it due to lack of knowledge and overclock craze. Meanwhile I have also played on some small to very big stages in Switzerland, because I discovered a second big passion with music.Â
