Im a bit confused with the quality and feel of the stream on both of these devices. When I stream to the Steam Deck (handheld mode, not to TV) via wifi it feels flawless. Naturally I thought the latest apple tv with a wired connection would feel at least equally as good. Important to note, PC is wired as well.
There is however noticeable lag. My first though was that maybe it was related to the controller being connected via bluetooth to the apple tv, therefore adding input latency. Since the pc is in the next room I decided to stream to the apple tv but connect the controller to the pc directly via controller wireless adapter (adapter in question: https://www.xbox.com/en-US/accessories/controllers/xbox-wireless-controller-adapter-windows). This is what I use to play locally on the pc and it works perfectly of course. This however doesnt solve the problem I feel the same amount of lag as if I connected the controller to the apple tv via BT.
A few things to note:
- When streaming to the steam deck the pc res is set to 4k 120hz but the stream caps at 1280×800 60hz of course.
- When streaming to the apple tv the pc res is set to 4k 120hz but I have tried setting the stream to 720, 1080, 1440 and 4k (all at 60hz) and they all feel the same in terms of latency.
Is it a processor thing? Is the stream deck able to decode the feed more efficiently than the apple tv? Thats the only thing I can think of seeing as one is wired and "should" perform better but doesnt.
Any ideas what could be going on? Is the apple tv just not the way to go?
