I'm running a very similar setup and am looking for a better way to stream games from my local gaming pc. The current steam in-home-streaming is too delayed in reaction for my liking and my nvidia shield doesn't really support the latest and greatest like av1 or pyrowave. Has anyone a good idea how i could achieve it in one machine? I don't really want to buy into a steam machine or something just to play games.

With Gigabit LAN, I'm using Sunshine on my PC and the Android Moonlight client on the TV.

For Input, I've a Logitech K400 via USB dongle on the TV and Xbox controllers via Bluetooth.

Is there a slight lag? Yes. Are the majority of games I want enjoy on the couch and play on the big TV playable? Absolutely. I wouldn't play CoD but many many games just work well even with a Little lag.

PS: can also recommend playnite, giving a unified tv/Controller experience with access to multiple game stores , local Games and emulator support.

Adding a USB 3 Gigabit adapter to my Onn 4k Pro box was a massive improvement. I wanted to get the Onn model with built-in Ethernet but later discovered it was 10/100 and more consistent than the built-in Wifi, but much slower top speeds.

Plugged in a 15 dollar gigabit adapter and now I can stream anything instantly from my LAN with super low latency, even with huge uncompressed media.

Highly recommended upgrade, for sticks without extra USB-3.0 port, best option is a cheap USB-C dock for tablet/laptop with Gigabit ethernet. Amazon sells various versions for <$20 these days.

There's probably something with sunshine / moonshine /artimis or something but I'm not up to date on that cluster of things.

I'll try vibepollo and moonshine again, but at least for the games i've tried it wasn't good enough for me.

50ft hdmi cable

Unfortunately; this is the only true answer. After a lot of trial and error; a good long AOC cable is what I settled with in the end.
