Best Computer for Living Room TV

The best way to enhance the entertainment experience for yourself and your friends when you gather at your home, is by connecting your personal computer to the living room TV. This way, you have an all-purpose device, that will allow you to watch anything you want on your TV screen.

The best way to achieve this, is by acquiring a television according to the size of your living room. For example, if you have a fairly large living room with lots of space, then you most likely have positioned the furniture slightly far from each other.

If this is the case, then you should consider purchasing a large TV, so that you can watch comfortably your favorites movies or shoes from any distance. I would recommend going for a 50 inch TV like the Sceptre X509BV-FSR, or if you are more like me, the go for a high quality 55 inch model, such as the LG Electronics 55UJ6300.

Which ever you choose is fine, you should always make purchases within your budget’s limits though. Make sure that you also acquire an HDMI cable, so that you can connect the TV to your personal computer, in order to watch videos in high quality.

An excellent HDMI cable that I use and recommend to everyone that wants to upgrade the quality of his TV screen, is to go for the Bugubird Flat HDMI Cable. It provides great quality, and it is 35 feet long, which allows you to place the computer as far from the TV as you like.

How to choose the right computer

You are going to find out that there is a huge variety of PCs to choose from in the market. This is why you will have to narrow down your choices, by determining what kind of computer will fit your living room.

First of all, you need to know what type of performance you expect from your PC. For example, if you want to use the computer for gaming, then you need to invest in a high performance graphics card, that is going to allow you to play your games without glitches or low graphic issues.

Secondly, you should have an idea about the CPU and the RAM memory of the PC you are about to purchase. If you are going to use heavy applications and software, you might need to look for more expensive models with higher specifications, such as 16 or even 32 gigabytes RAM memories.

After you figure out the features and the specifications of the PC you are going to buy, make sure that you search and find a wireless keyboard and mouse, such as the Logitech MK320 Wireless Desktop Keyboard and Mouse Combo. This way, you will be able to operate the computer from any area of the living room, if you need to change seating or move around.

Last but not least, take the time to find the appropriate PC case to match your living room. Usually, we want to hide such large electronic applications when we place them in the living room. You might actually find a compact PC case more convenient. For example, take a look at the Rosewill Micro-ATX Mini Tower Computer.

Best computer for living room TV

Trying to find the best computer for your living room might prove to be a time consuming task, due to the fact that there are thousands of options out there. In the list below, we have selected 5 of the best personal computers that are going to help you make the right decision:

1 – Top pick – Dell Inspiron i3668

My top pick regarding computers for living room TVs is the Dell Inspiron i3668. It is a very easy to set computer, extremely quiet, and it runs extremely fast with windows 10. Adding to that, it is a great tower, which is only going to make your living room look prettier when you place it in.

As far as the processor of this PC is concerned, it has the Intel Dual-Core i3-7100, 7th generation with 3M cache and running at 3.90 GHz. It has two memory slots, and 8GB of DDR4 RAM memory, which you can expand up to 16 in case you want even better performance. The ideal asset for your living room entertainment and a very nice value for money.

2 – CYBERPOWERPC Gamer Xtreme

For gamers, the CYBERPOWERPC Gamer Xtreme is the deal. It is a fancy looking personal computer, arguably not for all living rooms, however its specifications are ideal for pc gaming.

It runs on an Intel i5-7400 3.0GHz and it has the AMD Radeon RX 580 4GB graphics card, which make a powerful combination for every game no matter the requirements. An awesome choice for gamers that want to play using the TVs of their living room.

3 – Acer Aspire Desktop

The next one is a personal computer by the Acer Company. The Acer Aspire Desktop, has a hard disk of 1 TB, making it possible to save all your photos, videos or other files conveniently.

Regarding USB slots, it offers a number of different options, as it has 4 USB 2.0 and 3 USB 3.0 slots, which are more than enough for connect every media device, hard drive or flash disk you have available in your home.

4 – Lenovo ThinkCentre M58

The next PC we recommend for your living room TV, is another extremely affordable option. For a little over $100, you are able to connect it to your TV screen, and start watching movies or surfing the internet from the comfort of your couch.

It has less storage than the PCs reviewed above, 320 GB, and 4 GBs of RAM memory which is more than enough for most software in the market. If you have a limited budget, then the Lenovo ThinkCentre M58 is your go-to solution.

5 – HP 8300

My last choice is around half the price compared to the Dell Inspiron that we reviewed above. The  HP 8300 has a taller, more rectangular tower with a narrower surface. This means that you are going to be able to position it among furniture with easiness, because it doesn’t take much space at all.

The particular PC has 500 GB of storage and 8 GBs of DDR3 RAM. Of course, you can expand the memory if you want. Its processor is the 3.2 GHz Intel Core i5, and it has a very affordable price no matter your budget, especially compared to its amazing features.

Conclusion

Deciding on the best computer for the living room TV depends on the requirements of the buyer. You should know the reasons why you need to purchase such a PC, and acquire the best model possible to connect to your TV.

Do your own research, and enjoy your favorite movies, TV shows or games!
