Computer to tv connection

[Bountyhunter]

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 have chrome cast built into my Vizio house tv. However the sim tv is an older Sharp. Is the a way to chrome cast to it?

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