If you have ever hooked a computer up to a TV, it becomes obvious why Steam big picture mode is required. Just like RDP or VNC type applications, compression must be kept to a minimum since most application computer applications would be unusable even with mild compression. Such systems will still have issues displaying video though, since the decoding would be done on the source machine and then the uncompressed frame would need to be sent over the network.
I don’t think they ever supported playing sound.
These systems were not meant for playing media though. I don’t know when such features became available, but even back in the early 90’s you could very easily run an application on one machine and have it display on another since the display system (X server) has a network layer. They had a network aware display system very early on. UNIX came out of the mainframe world in some respects, so remote use has always been present In some form. They have generally been way behind the UNIX world on such things. I actually haven’t used windows in quite a while, so I don’t know where they are as far as remote use. If you want to stream video between PCs you generally have to set up a streaming media server specifically for that rather than trying to mirror the screen. They can use a hardware video encoder to stream the screen images as if it is a video stream. With something like the PlayStation 4, it is made to work on a TV at 10 feet away, so it is not going to have small text at all. RDP is probably mostly uncompressed since video compression cam make a mess out of small text commonly used on desktop computer screens.

Have you had a chance to try PS4 to PC game streaming? I'm now waiting for Microsoft to allow PC to Xbox One streaming hehe. Hopefully Sony continues to flesh out the application and features.
#PLAYSTATION 3 REMOTE PLAY PC 2016. 1080P#
no 1080p and you can't change resolution and frame rate on the fly). It seems to be a bit behind Xbox One streaming in the video quality and usability departments (e.g. There are several YouTube videos of users testing out Remote Play, and it does work. Sony notes that not all games support Remote Play, but it seems like the majority of the console's catalog of games do.
#PLAYSTATION 3 REMOTE PLAY PC 2016. 720P#
Users (preferably with wired devices including the PS4) can go into the settings and max it out at 720p and 60 FPS or dial it all the way down to 360p if you really need to play remotely over the internet with a small upload pipe. Out of the box, Remote Play will stream at 540p and 30 FPS (frames per second). Streaming capabilities are currently limited as there is no support for streaming at 1080p resolution. Specific setup instructions can be found here. You will also need a Sony Entertainment Network account to pair devices and it is recommended to set the desired PS4 as your primary account. Sony makes it easy to play your games by supporting the DualShock 4 controller – users will simply need to plug it into the PC via USB cable and it will work as expected on PlayStation games. (It is not clear whether you can direct connect to the console to stream or if you have to go through a Sony server to stream, other remote play devices seem to be able to work only off of the LAN connection though so it should work.) Unfortunately, this rules out most DSL users, though they should still be able to play locally over their LAN. Sony recommends having a bare minimum of a 5Mbps symmetrical broadband internet connection in order to stream games to remote devices, and it recommends a connection with at least 12 Mbps download and upload speeds for the best results.
#PLAYSTATION 3 REMOTE PLAY PC 2016. MAC OS X#
Users will need to be running the 32-bit or 64-bit versions of Windows (8.1 or 10) or Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite or newer. Mac users can get by with an even lower end i5 520M (2.4 GHz). PC system requirements are modest requiring a minimum of a dual core (4 thread) Intel Core i5 560M (2.67 GHz) and 2GB of RAM when running Windows. In order to stream to PCs, users will need to download the Remote Play utility for Windows or OS X.
#PLAYSTATION 3 REMOTE PLAY PC 2016. UPDATE#
Users should start receiving the console update shortly. The 3.50 firmware update adds social networking features to schedule events and allow users to appear offline along with a major change that opens up Remote Play to allow game streaming from the PS4 to Macs and Windows PCs. Sony is rolling out a new firmware update for its PlayStation 4 gaming console.
