    Best 4k monitor for ps4

    As title. The HDR thing is what worries me; what if I get the wrong type of HDR? Tagging [MENTION=2447]EvilBoris[/MENTION] as his recent tweets make me think he might know about this stuff.

        Size?

        Generally the smaller they are the poorer they are with their DR capability.
        Certainly with TVs you struggle to get anything under 50” that does what HDR is meant to deliver.

        In PC monitor world it’s early days and specialist, so the choice is far more limited, there are a couple of 27” models that do HDR the way it’s meant to be done

        Either way you will end up looking at £1200ish.

              Are you sure?

              This great monitor just had it's price announced

              NVIDIA G-Sync HDR gaming monitors promise great specs with required features like an iris-searing 1,000 nits of peak brightness, wide color gamut and high 144 Hz refresh rate. Unfortunately, G-Sync HDR monitors from the likes of ASUS and Acer have been delayed multiple times, so we've yet to learn the price or whether the displays can live up to the hype. Now, Acer's Predator X27 has gone on pre-order at Newegg, so at least we know how much it'll cost: A mind-blowing $1,999.

                $2,000 for a 144hz monitor to use with a PS4? Total waste. That's like buying a Bugatti Chiron and having it speed restricted to 70mph.

                    4K at a stable 144hz for anything other than eSports titles is way beyond any current GPU. They are two generations away at the very least.

                    Simply try and find the smallest HDR 4K TV with the lowest latency for the PS4/PS5.

                      This is why I ended up with the KS7500. I use the same screen for both the PC and consoles and wanted something that would do a decent job of 4K, 1080p and the ranges in between whilst also having the right level of HDR support and latency. It was a good one for ticking all those boxes though I'm not sure what this years model is that's equivalent.

                        Q7F or something similar is the current one.

                        I picked up the same as you on ebay for £500 a few months back.

                          This monitor is the result you will get.

                          HDR in PC monitors as I said is virtually non-existent, outside about 3 specialist displays such as this.

                          It's interesting reading people's reactions to the HDR PC screens, PC gamers allegedly want this premium gaming experience which was higher resolution, better IQ and Performance than a console.

                          But they want that experience on a cheap low contrast LCD at a lower resolution.

                          PC gamers are about to get ****ed in the face with a new HDR format that will make things even more confusing.

                            Started considering a 4K TV but I sit 8 or 9 feet away form the screen so I think I need like a 70"+ screen to be able to appreciate 4K. Does that sound right? Playing Fallout 4 last night I couldn't discern pixels on my 63" FullHD display. I was hoping to get something a bit smaller (55") because I don't have a big living room and the current telly looks too big really, like having a Rolls Royce parked outside a run down council estate. Is there a (correct, accurate) way to tell what size screen you need to appreciate 4K re: viewing distance etc? Cheers.

                              Our TV Sizes to Distance Calculator helps you choose the right size TV for your space. The optimal viewing distance is about 1.6 times the diagonal length of the television. For example, for a 55” TV, the best distance is 7 feet.
