So I just moved and will no longer be able to have my PC close to my TV. For years I just had the HDMI connected from the PC directly to the TV making the viewing of any content on the big screen with ease.
Since running a cable is no longer an option, I must look into streaming. I watch a lot of downloaded Tv Shows, Movies, Anime etc in various formats such as mkv, avi etc
I'm currently using a PC and will be purchasing a new TV soon as well, nothing fancy b/c I'm on a budget so probably a LG Smart TV in the $900 range.
I know there are some options like Apple TV, Roku, Chromcast, Miracast but some articles seem to indicate that most of these are not compatible with my setup. In fact, the flowchart below from Tomsguide indicates none of the options work for me. I'm on Windows 8.1 but don't have the option to add a wireless display. Chromcast seems to be ok but looks like there are some restrictions on file types?
Anywhere care to school me on the best way to do this?
