    Computer to tv connection

    In the beginning stages of building my setup. Have the Skytrack ordered and waiting. Is it ok to have my computer a good distance from the TV I will connect to via HDMI? I've read 50 feet is the maximum length one should run HDMI cables, mine will require about 40 feet, so I will have to buy a 50 im sure. No issues with that connection I assume?

    Up to 25 feet with a standard HDMI cable, or up to 150 feet with a fiber optic cable like this one:

      Or you can use a Chromecast and just cast your screen to your TV. That's what I do

          I had to link a PC to an older projection TV, used a HDMI converter. Powered from the PC USB and ran to the yellow, red, and white connectors on the back of the TV. Not wireless though but I bet you can get some kind of receiver.

            You can check out this link to look at different ways to cast your computer screen to your tv.


            You will need to purchase a Google Chromecast dongle or a Roku stick.
