Comment on What are great games to play on controller, that my PC would stream to my Steam Deck?
DekSomBoon@lemmy.today 3 hours agoIf you measure it and it is less than 10m (the physical limit of hdmi without a repeater) then you might consider a floor cable canal. They usually come in a variety of colors, don’t require adheisive or screwing and are just simple things to keep people from tripping on cables
I have one of these on a doorway, to connect a pc to a tv and it works good enough

Didn’t think of a cable canal at all, and there’s a doorway along the wall perpendicular to the TV so it would fit nicely there, I’ll think about it thanks!

By the way just because the official limit for HDMI is 10m, that doesn’t mean that a longer cable can’t work. I’ve been running a projector for decades, which was connected with a15m cable for literal decades. It might work, it might not, you’ll know when you try.
Usually the link either works or it doesn’t. The picture doesn’t get bad. It’s a digital signal, it either gets decoded correctly or not. In rare edge cases you might get a signal to drop occasionally though if it’s too long.
