We use Moonlight instead of Steam Link. It requires a little more setting up at the PC end, but overall seems to be a more smooth result.

    I’ll take a look, but I haven’t noticed any performance issues with Steam link.

    Moonlight blows steam out of the water. I can't even tell I'm streaming when I use it.

    Can you give me some examples for what’s really all that noticeable?

    With steam for me it took longer to connect, it was harder to set up and the stream itself had noticeable artifacts and lag.

    With sunshine & moonlight my lag is 1 ms, it connects instantly and I can stream in 4K HDR. Like I said it's so high quality that I often forget I'm streaming the game.

    Plus moonlight is free and open source. Takes maybe 5-10 mins to set up. I was skeptical because it's FOSS, but it's easily the streaming solution I've tried for gaming.

    This is on Windows over LAN, I haven't tried it over the internet.

    Witch brands have moonlight available natively? I think I remember Samsung. Anything else? LG doesn't....
