        Latency?

        I haven't tried Steam streaming yet. Is there a way to measure the latency?

          Impressive.

          Just gave Metro Last Light and Portal 2 a (very brief) try. Streamed from my desktop (i7, GTX660) to my Lenovo Edge 130 (i3, Ivy Bridge) the games run at 60fps and so far everything has been very responsive (it seems as if the games are rendered at the desktop resolution of 1920 x 1200 and then scaled down to the laptops measly 1366 x 768). It currently lacks any sound, though. But still - I'm pretty impressed.

            How do you install Steam on your TV? I've a LG 4K 3D TV too, so I'm eager for such as well. I also want to try later Doom3 BFG as
            it supports 3D?

              You can't install Steam on your TV. It has to be somewhere where you can install the Steam client, which means any x86 notebook, PC... So to play on your TV, one possibility is hooking your notebook to it and launching Steam.

              I don't think you'll be able to use 4K or 3D.

                You don't, yo hook up an HTPC like this http://pcpartpicker.com/p/9pDF4D o your 1Gbps home network.
