    depending on length? Yeah. Probably cheaper to get a sparky to do a professional job than it would be get an Xbox X or PS5 anyway. My brother in law doesnt even have a monitor, just leaves his rig plugged into the TV full time.

      About 10 metres in a straight line. I’m thinking a female to female cable in the wall, then I can run regular HDMI cables in and out. I’ve got a hectic rig with a 4090 one room over from the TV so it beats anything you could get for the $700-800 space

        Definitely the way to go. It’s not a super difficult job if you’re comfortable diy. But hiring someone shouldn’t cost more than 500 total id think.

      I used to use a cheap old tv as a PC monitor. Besides needing to sit further back to not be able to count the pixels, it was fine. Had sound, too

      Edit: oh actually now that I think about it, when turned on, it would start on ATV with the static. Not that bad, provided you’re not staring directly at the screen and you’re not in a dark room
