Console Gaming on a Monitor vs TV | Which is BETTER?

[@atranimecs]

Another note, gotta make sure the monitor/TV supports 4K @ 120HZ+ through HDMI specifically for next gen consoles if someone is going that route. Many affordable/older 4K monitors advertising high refresh rates may be through Displayport ONLY, not HDMI. Read reviews or double check specs for this and double check your old HDMI cables: 4k @ 120 Hz = HDMI 2.0 (2.1 for HDR) cable* 2k @ 144hz = HDMI 2.0 cable* 2k or 1080p @ 120hz = HDMI 1.4 cable* *console/video card output compatibility as well Also Next-gen Consoles PS5/Xbox will support VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) if the TV supports it through HDMI 2.1. This tech prevents image/screen tearing which is noticeable especially on larger TV screens. (For PC monitors this is called G-sync or AMD Freesync). IMHO shelling out for a high quality/feature rich 2k/120-144hz HDMI 2.0/2.1 monitor setup is probably the way to go for both console and PC for competitive shooters/close-sitting setups. there's a reason it's the eSports standard. If you need a screen larger than 32" for sitting further away, and don't play competitive games then a 42"-55" 4k/120hz TV should be just fine and console future proof.

Just bought an ultrawide gaming monitor, Have to say I wasn't expecting the gaming improvements I saw. The gameplay felt smoother (high refresh rate I guess), I could react and see better because of how detailed and bright the screen was, I got more kills than ever. Previously I was using a 65 inch 4k LG tv with 60 hz refresh rate.

I'm still using my Benq Gl2760 27 inch monitor that I bought back at the end of 2017 but didn't use til the beginning of 2018. It was my first gaming monitor at only 60hz for my Xbox one S but I did notice a huge difference in my response time and made things a whole lot easier when gaming. Plus, I can see the detail of the graphics in a game or the detail when watching a big screen movie on Blu Ray or streaming like Star Wars or Lord of the Rings and see things going on that I couldn't when watching on my living room 50 inch flatscreen!

I'm a 50/50 PC/Console player, and I have used my PS4 on my 27inch 1080p VA panel from AOC, though I use the PS4 more often for streaming or playing Blu-Rays on my FullHD TV these days, yes there are still a lot of old school gamers/movie watchers that prefer owning physical media. I've ripped 90% of my movie/TV collection to my PC's HDD and can stream it via Plex to any Smart-TV in my home. If I ever manage to buy the PS5 I'll probably hook it up to my gaming monitor to get that smoothness.

There's a decent amount when it comes to TVs and Monitors for Series consoles. The biggest is what resolution do you want to hit and at what frame rate. This will really define what you end up going with as the requirements may be fairly different, especially on monitors that use both HDMI and DP connections.

@2:41 : Can confirm on response time. I have Tetris on a different platform, switch and ps5. The ps5 version feels okay on the big tv, but sometimes i can't maneuver the tetriminos fast enough. The switch version on big tv : big no. The addition of controller and response time delay on switch, just adds up too much. Hooking up the switch to my gaming monitor is such a night and day experience. In my opinion; the response time delay is even smaller than the switch's built in screen itself.

Anything 30fps performs better on a TV with game mode enabled. 60fps onwards seems fine on both with the ball perhaps sitting in the monitors court at this stage. I would like to see 120hz monitor vs 120hz TV in terms of latency. Far Cry 5 was a great game to test at 30 fps... Much smoother on the TV and this was up against an LG GP850. I think the ideal scenario would be a 42inch 4k 120hz LG C2 for all round gaming with the inclusion of popping off on those competitive shooters.

What would happen if you put a TVs coding into a gaming monitor?

[@mitchwyld6838]

I'm on the fence, I've played games on monitors for years, but since seeing the release of nanocell90 tv I kind of want to make the switch. I've been looking to get the 43"asus monitor but the nanocell just seems like a better deal

[@julienmelnick]

Thats a toughie. Honestly go with what will make you enjoy playing more

[@swa99a10]

I play both but starting to like 43 inch tvs for gaming g thier fast and not to big.

[@Dmc805]

Like your videos 👌🏻

[@jimmytimber7074]

So I have maybe a stupid question here. I have a series x connected to an lg c1 in my living room and absolutely love it. I have a series s connected to a samsung led I bought 10 years ago. I noticed when I play halo infinite on my series s on the samsung it is almost unplayable. everything looks good and smooth but I dunno something is off. it almost seems like my tv is not keeping up? I don't think it's my internet because I can connect my series s to my lg and everything feels good. Do the newer tvs make that big of a difference? Super confused also use my series s on a msi portable monitor and that feels good too but I can't play for shit in my bedroom on the older samsung led. I love the tv it was a great tv for the 10 years just not good for gaming? Never had issues with my ps4 on it.

[@MrLillywhite2011]

Thanks for the video new subber I'm setting up a console set up and was looking at the curved msi 27 fhd or the msi curved 32 fhd both for that same price I'm learning towards the 32 fhd coming from a 32inch Sony bravia what would you recommend?

[@julienmelnick]

I personally don't see the need for something much bigger than 27. My viewing angle is so close already. I would lean into something that has a higher refresh rate and limited ghosting

[@Taco-IV-V-VI]

Is a small tv good too ? Lol I don’t have a monitor at the moment but i hope to be getting one soon

i got a ps5 and my modern warfare lags , im on a samsung 50 inch. what monitor is good

[@XEternalHeartlessX]

So I have 55 inch tv and then a 32 inch curved monitor that does 1080 I’m pretty sure. Now should I hook up my Xbox one x or my Xbox series s I use both for movies and games so wondering which is best for what

[@julienmelnick]

Series s looks sick on both

If you think 60 hz is better and you have a decent phone go switch it on and off and just scroll through the settings slightly fast lol none to less turn on cod mobile 😅

well that was really helpful because my brother is going uni and we share a tv so if i can down grade to a monitor it can help as i willl be getting a knew desk because the one i currently have is pretty bad especially how the tv takes up most of the space. does anyone have any reccomendations on a gaming monitor fo an xbox one x ?

I think the game should dictate. If you need to be competitive and react, use the one that offers the best experience. Image quality for a dope story, go for something else.

@@devilrandy that’s impossible. If you look at people who test monitor response times, like rtings or hardware unboxed, even the monitors advertising 1ms are actually 5 or 6ms. The only thing under 1ms right now are OLED panels because of their instantaneous response time
