Steam link box 4k6/19/2023 ![]() ![]() 4K 60FPS, crisp visuals, all streamed to the TV without any PC nearby was something out of the future. That setting is called that for a reason as the first game we tested in 4K, The Darkness 2, looked awesome. The local wired connection held up most of the time and the settings on the QLED were set to “beautiful”. We then decided to really push the limit and boost everything to its max right up to 4K. There was no lag and the gorgeous QLED display was a perfect place to bring all the colours of the game to life. ![]() Testing Sonic All Star Racers was great as it streamed in a stunning 720p 60FPS. The SteamLink app offers the entire Big Picture Mode from Steam and in a way changes Steam to look like a home console with an easy to use UI. It was strange that these settings were not present in Steam Big Picture itself as that only showed HD, but once we played around we found a whole bunch of more settings hidden away on the QLED’s side of things. There are various settings on the app that let you change the output from normal to “beautiful” and the resolution from HD to UHD 4K. We then switched over to a wired LAN connection and the network test showed a flawless result. Lag and low-quality streaming was expected. We tested this first using a Wi-Fi connection and the results were a bit questionable. It took seconds to have the device up and running and all you need to do is enter a pin into your PC given to you by the TV and you are connected. Setting up the SteamLink on the QLED is as simple as launching the app, plugging in a keyboard, mouse, Xbox One controller or Steam Controller and pressing okay. Grab a controller, launch the app and go wild. This means that if your gaming PC is in your office and you want to shoot some zombies on Left for Dead you can do just that. SteamLink lets you stream your games from your PC over a local network from anywhere in the house.
