Gaming in the lounge

[SMOKEU]

I've got the gaming rig in my signature in my bedroom, and I want to keep it there. I've got a 55" 4K Dahua monitor in the lounge which I'd like to connect up to my computer. I do have an nVidia Shield Android TV (1st gen) but that only seems to want to stream at 1080p via Gamestream, so what I want to do is connect a long HDMI cable from my computer to the lounge monitor, and a long USB cable to which I will attach a USB hub with my Xbox 360 wireless controller dongle so I can sit on the couch and play racing sims.

A 15m (60 foot) HDMI cable will be long enough, and a 10m (33 foot) USB cable will be long enough. The USB cable can be shorter than the HDMI cable as I will be using the wireless controller. Will this method have any noticeable input lag? Do I need an active HDMI cable or an active USB cable, or will passive ones be OK at that distance? The TLDR version:

• Need 15m HDMI cable for 4K 60Hz
• Need 10m USB extension cable
• Don't want noticeable lag as its for gaming

Just get a high quality cable, likely $55-60. Something like https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N905Y7F?th=1
Your not doing HDR so you shouldn't have to much trouble. As for USB... not sure never ran one that long.

You may have issues with the USB. I only needed a 10ft run for min so I got lucky.

Thanks for your help so far. I've ordered a powered 10m USB extender, and I'll probably buy a Dynamix 15m HDMI cable like this one here https://www.pbtech.co.nz/product/CABDNX8053/DYNAMIX-15M-HDMI-18Gbs-ULTRA-HD-4K-Cable-with-Ethe

I'll also connect a USB hub to the USB extender so I can plug in a keyboard.
