  • Yes, 30 FPS at best just makes my inputs feel laggy, but usually it also strains my eyes and has given me actual migraines. Bloodborne was the worst offender because of the need to focus on choppy animations of bosses.

    I’ve already answered the PC build question, but to summarize: any comparable build to a PS 5 Pro that uses new components from brands that make reliable hardware typically cost over one grand USD. Also most people that I see recommend these builds typically don’t even bother including peripherals like a controller and kb+m in the cost. Not to mention that by going into the budget gaming PC route will also generally require additional time to tinker with graphic settings in each game to try and get adequate performance.

    Anyway, I’ve done this before, I had a higher end PC in my living room hooked up to my TV a few years ago. The experience wasn’t terrible, but also wasn’t as good as just having a console where everything is designed to be operated via controller. So honestly I don’t see the point of paying extra money for something that seems like the worse option for me.

    I’ll be building a higher end gaming PC with a 480hz OLED display in mind next year, but yeah, I won’t be using that from a couch.



  • You can use a controller on PC and also connect to this display with the same responsiveness and colors.

    I’ve done this in the past when I had a desktop near my living room TV. I don’t these days and the experience wasn’t good enough to justify rearranging my house rather than simply buying a console.

    Also, to get ahead of the people that are already twitching at the opportunity to inform me that I could build a dedicated PC just to keep next to my TV for gaming: Sure, but the cost of building one with similar performance to the pro, while using new components and avoiding Ali Express brands that may start a house fire one random evening, is over 1 grand at a minimum.

    I always thought consoles were for the exclusive games and to play with friends, not performance or graphics.

    Please, by all means, go email Sony and tell them to not bother with PS6. Tell Nintendo to drop what they’re doing with the Switch 2. Us console gamers simply don’t care about performance or graphic upgrades. Surely they should have learned this by now.
