Weird question.

I use my 65" OLED as my main PC display from the sofa using a wireless keyboard and mouse. I do however have 3 monitors unused from my previous working from home setup.

I mainly watch movies/youtube/netflix etc on my PC rather than games as my attention span has grown much shorter. However, I would like to play the occasional game whilst still watching a film etc on my main TV. What is the best way to make one of my existing monitors (I have a 1080p, 1440p and 4k monitor spare) essentially wireless that I can have on a table in front of me on to say play a game whilst watching stuff. I understand the power angle will always need to be plugged in which I have close to me so that 1m cable is fine but a 5+meter HDMI cable would be an issue.

Any advice?

Thank you.
 
What you want is a Steam Deck. Which you then dock into your nearby monitor if you want, but you'd probably just end up using it as a steam deck. You can apparently get wireless HDMI transmitters/receivers which I imagine would accomplish what you are describing, but I dread to think what the latency would be on something like that.
