Hi everyone, need some help.

I have a screen in my living room and also a projector.

As of now, my setup is that I project my movies from my PC Laptop, casting them via Windows Connect to the projector and then via bluetooth to my fireTV speaker.

The audio is fine but the projector´s image is not great and, sometimes, the projector looses the connection to the pc laptop, I notice, around every 55 minutes.

I am thinking to connect a pc or NAS or mini pc or whatever, directly, via hdmi to my projector. my flow would be i send movies or watch movies from that pc connected to the projector and i manage the projector´s playback using a bluetooth device connecting the keyboard and the mouse to it and leaving it on my living room´s table.

i am also considering just buying a super cheap pc laptop, leaving it in the shelf attached to the projector "permanently" and watching movies out of that cheap pc.

i share some pics of how my projector is setup, for reference. you can see the shelf where the projector is at, is not that big. i could put a mini pc or a very lean, lightweight pc

advice on how to go about it? cheap pc or mini pc managed by bluetooth keyboard and mouse?

This is my first setup and I'm a bit lost, especially since my space is somewhat limited. I'm just about to get my monitor and PC. I need suggestions pls. I'd like something cozy.

Well folks, no more gaming…just work

Getting a 360 hrtz oled monitor tomorrow and I can't wait!

Been cleaning off my setup and changing things around that I've been needing to get rid of 😁

Im searching a nice 900x400 mousepad for the blue curtain desk. My other setup already has a cool one.

(I wanted the same mousepad but with dark blue instead of black, couldn't find it unfortunately..)

I’ve been upgrading my setup for abt 14 years, some Xbox 360 games have been with me the whole way!!
I mainly play cs now, but I’ve got a couple thousand hours in rust, pubg, and siege.

Hey guys! Trying to upgrade my setup here. I have a bunch of empty room and I'm wondering what this community would think of what I should put here. I don't want to block my patio door, so I'm thinking something on the wall, maybe a small storage shelf,desk and then storage shelves above it, maybe an art display, I'm really not sure. Wanted to get some ideas

Guys, what tip do you give me? If I choose the TV to run the games the screen is larger and stays in 4k, if I choose the monitor I liked with mini-led, but it is not as big as the TV, it is 300 GHz, give me your opinion.

It's not finished yet. I want to change the second table and buy a second chair, and hide the cables from the floor

Kinda wasted all my money the government gave me for moving to Hawaii on this setup but what else do you guys think I could do to make this a bit more pleasant. Right now I feel like it’s a bit cluttered.
