Steams deals with it, sent over the network. There'll be some input lag of course but when testing it I didn't notice any. It's probably less than you get from using an LCD.
But you're still using an LCD (or does steam beam it straight into your BRAIN?).
I am still using an LCD yeah. I was just putting the amount of input lag into a made up context which I know very little about :Y
If my poxy little Celeron Q190 is handling it OK, the i3/i5 NUC should be fine. Essentially, if they've got the power to smoothly play a HD video over the LAN, then that's all the 'server' side box is sending to the 'client'.
Cool! I'll give it a go.. sometime..
