Has anyone ever plugged their desktop pc into a large 4k TV for gaming?

If so, how was it?

Theres a game I want to play with friends but it's only on pc and I don't want to sit at my desk to play it.

Curious what other peoples experiences are.

Yes.

We have a pc permanently slaved to the tv for media and gaming. It's fucken awesome.

You do need to blow up the font sizes to be able to read system shit though.

I think it depends on your GPU being able to drive a 4k monitor. Might need to turn the graphics down on the game to get enough frame rate.

Yeah I've got a 2070 which is pretty old these days. I'm going to give it a go.

I’ve ever only done it via a laptop with a direct hdmi connection.

With my pc I had to use steam link which went through the network. Sort of worked but crashed eventually after playing around with it for a couple of hours.
