With great hoopla (and surprise given the £699 price tag), Sony just unveiled their new PS5 Pro. Meanwhile, Nintendo supporters are eagerly awaiting the release of the Switch 2, whose schedule has apparently been pushed ahead.
But when players construct their “battlestations,” they frequently overlook one essential component of the gaming setup: the screen.
Many people mistakenly believe that all flatscreen TVs are made equally, yet this couldn’t be further from the reality.
What, therefore, should players consider when selecting the ideal gaming screen?
First of all, computer displays and television screens differ greatly from one another. Compared to TVs, PC monitors frequently have higher pixel densities, which essentially means they can fit more pixels per day.
Additionally, input-lag—the interval of time between a key being pressed on the keyboard and the letter showing on the screen—is something that monitors are made to have as little as possible. In competitive gaming, where buttons are pressed following split-second decisions, this can make all the difference.
Additionally, PC screens are significantly better suited for gaming in particular.
A revolution in display technology has resulted with the introduction of OLED technology. While motion blur is lessened, allowing players to still distinguish things in rapidly moving landscapes, colors appear more vibrant than before.
