A few months back with the help of the “other sites” PCMR, I built my son a PC. He doesn’t like sitting at his desk though, and wants to turn it into a Lego diorama. We talked about moving his monitor elsewhere when his mom asked if it could hook up to the TV.
I was going to work on moving it tonight and testing it out but I was curious if there was anything special I needed to do first.
Its a Windows 10 PC, here are portions of the DXDIAG

I just want to make sure I don’t need anything else for this to work right. With the big sales hitting tomorrow I am going to grab my son a wireless KB and Mouse, and anything else you all recommend.
Thank you for your time.
I have my PC connected to my home theater since I prefer my laptop screen for gaming. I recommend getting a keyboard with a touchpad like the Logitech K400 because it simplifies everything rather than using a separate mouse and keyboard. It’s especially useful if you’re sitting on a coach where using a mouse isn’t ideal.
Should have no problems. Couple of things to check on the TV settings menu, make sure the zoom is set to ‘fit’ so that there is no border/overscan, if there is a ‘game’ or ‘low latency’ mode enable it; otherwise turn off all picture enhancements (e.g. LG clear view / image smoothing) as they are no bueno for gaming.
