Hi, I’d like to occasionally connect my desktop to my living room tv for casual gaming. I can run an hdmi cable under the flooring (I know it’ll probably be too long for hdmi spec but I’ll burn that bridge when I get to it). My question is how to prevent it from using up GPU resources when it’s not in use? I also don’t want it to turn on the TV whenever the PC wakes. I also don’t want to wear out the connector. Any suggestions?

    Looks like you’ve solved your problem, so all I have to add is that

    but I’ll burn that bridge when I get to it

    This is pretty funny. Like how a Viking would solve their problem.
