I'm getting a bit back into videogames. Any suggestions for the best ways to interact with Steam on a decent-but-not-smart TV? My PC is OK but there's something about sitting on the couch with a remote...

Yep, I can imagine investing in a smart TV at some point in the not-too-distant-future but this (alone) seems like too thin of a rationale still.

Roku doesn't require a smart TV. If you get the little Roku box it will use wifi to mirror from your PC. Should look better than the cable I would think. You'd have to get a Roku box, but I don't think they cost too much and you should be able to use apps on it free without paying for Roku TV.

Ah, interesting. I'll see if our Roku Express can handle that, though I think of it as pretty minimally functional. Though I could see replacing that before replacing the TV.

Good luck! Im going to check mine for the Steam Link app because are right about the couch lol

If you're curious: I can indeed mirror to through the Express! But there's sometimes (usually?) a lag that I would need to debug (which I'll probably try since it's the summer). Thanks!
