Yes, it will throw whatever your computer is doing but it may be pretty slow unless you have an i7 pentium processor and have the optimal set up of software

Yes, but it doesn't seem to work well with my laptops intergratted transmitter. I will check with my desktop in a few days and let you know.

Only if it is the "RICE" build of Steam. Home streaming of "RICE" could cause a real mess with this ASUS Eeebox PC.

Yeah it should be great. I also play a lot of games and everything I've downloaded off Steam is runnable on this card. You might not be able to max settings in all games, but it was running smoothly for me on newer games like the new Metal Gear Solid and I get 120+ fps in Counter-Strike.

Yeah it is, that's the reason I got it, I use it with steam all the time. Might be a bit stiff untill you us just the sesitivy settings, works great after.

My mini HDMI port wont work with my Samsung 50 inch Plasma TV. I don't think the tablet is fast enough to play back movies on HDMI. Most of the time it don't play movies on the screen or it is to slow playing movies. Sound is very low with volume all the way up. Never tried downloading to SD card then playing either. Great for web browsing,weather,stock market and some games. Mine don't take good pictures or video. I use mine mostly for bible at church. I would look at a different tablet for movies.

Everyone is correct. If you have an HDMI capture device then you can, but this would be an add-on card. Your better bet is an SDI to USB3 device like Magewell SDI dongle ($300). Stay away from Blackmagic for streaming. It works but is a pain to configure.

Anyone else come up with a solution for computer connection to this plasma?

I have an NVidia Shield handheld with the lesser models of this product (an R6300 router and an EX1200 extender). Both support streaming very well, so this much faster model is certain to work.

I will support Plasma's for most things but monitor is much safer to go with a LCD. Viera Cast does have screen savesr though to prevent burn-in for pandora, youtube, or whatever else is on there. If you use it just for Viera Cast internet, you should be fine. And gaming is safe if you mix up the game and keep contrast at 50.

Im guessing yes, because it will be on your computer and not from a pc disk, i dont think it will require Steam. Worth a shot?

I bought tis for my husband at Christmas. He has not tried that with it. It might have some games, but he thinks it would be very limited. HOpe that helps you.He does love it for the music streaming, though!

I ran mine directly from my PC to the HDMI port on my TV. When I did, the tv became a big pc monitor where I could go online or play movies which were on my pc. I don't know about any other applications for it.

You could totally use this item connect it to your 360 and stream to twitch. The software that it comes with makes it extremely simple to stream straight to twitch without having to do anything else. If you want to use a second monitor to display you Xbox game play but you don't need it. The stream displays what you're playing on the screen so you don't have to use a second monitor if you don't want to.

No, you can use the onboard HDMI interface. I use a video card because some applications and games require it, for for "normal" desktop use, the onboard GPU in the i7-3770k worked very well.

It works fine with my Samsung Plasma. Should have the same audio connectors.

Can't answer that. It does stream youtube Hulu type vids well (what I got it for), but my guess it would not do well for gaming.
