TV or Monitor for PS5? What's the Best Choice?

-

I’m in a bit of a dilemma deciding whether to use a TV or a monitor for my PS5 gaming setup. I’ve got limited space, so I can’t go beyond a 43″ 4K TV, but I’ve heard these aren’t the best for gaming. Considering I usually sit pretty close to the screen, I feel like a monitor could offer better visuals and a more enjoyable gaming experience. What do you all think?

I’ve been using a 55″ LG OLED for gaming and it’s been amazing! If you ever get the chance to upgrade, I highly recommend it.

If you can, definitely try to save for a 42″ LG C4. It’s one of the best options out there for gaming without breaking the bank. If you can’t swing it right now, a good 27″ QHD IPS monitor will do you well until you can!

Honestly, if you’re going for a TV, the 42″ LG C4 series is the way to go. It offers fantastic quality, especially for gaming, and should fit your space just fine.

In my experience, I think a monitor works just fine as long as it supports 120Hz and has HDMI. Plus, you can get some great 4K monitors that look fantastic for gaming.

I totally understand your struggle! I’ve been checking out monitors myself. I’ve heard that OLED TVs are amazing, but they’re pricey. I’m thinking about getting a 1440p 120Hz monitor instead of sticking with my 1080p TV.
