Finally purchased a BenQ 24 inch. Saw talks on here awhile back about the difference it makes to play on a monitor, and was wondering what experiences you guys have had. What makes it better than playing on my 65 inch TV? Prolly a little late to ask haha but needed a monitor for work anyways!
Thanks
BenQ is the best!
Does it not have sound capabilities? I’ve been fooling with it for the last hour or so and can’t seem to figure out the volume!
They don’t have built in speakers, you can use external or headphones. You don’t want a monitor with speakers anyway, they always stink.
Yep, I got an Asus and the sound (without headphones) is really bad. I was kind of shocked how bad. But they probably don’t put much time into that because most people use headphones.
I was thinking about putting up a thread with my early thoughts on getting a monitor and asking others if they have any tips/tricks. Overall, I like it a lot. Again the natural speaker sound isn’t great and I kind of miss sitting back on my couch.

For regular videogames, I agree sitting on a couch is much better. But this game, or any game you want to be competitive in requires heightened attention which is way better at a desk.

Are y’all using HDMI or DVI? Not at home so I don’t know if my PS4 pro has a dvi port even but I know my monitor does lol
PlayStation only has HDMI.
He could still buy an HDMI to DVI adapter. I have one. Works good

It actually makes a difference? As far as upping the frame rate?

No I’m simply saying that if his monitor only has a DVI input, he can still hook it up to his PS4 via an adapter

Just ordered a BenQ because of this thread. Anything I need to do when I get it besides plug it in & pray I can see the ball better?

Set it to FPS, and that’s about it. All the other settings are really user based.

That’s somewhat the point of monitors. They process the images really fast at the fraction of the cost of a TV because they don’t do everything a TV does like Bluetooth, Netflix and even sound. TVs that are as fast usually cost a lot and are actually more powerful than a PS4 can handle so you overpay.
If you miss your couch there are some TVs that are perfectly designed for PS4s and don’t cost even close to what top end TVs do. I recently bought a SamsungTU8000 that is basically a low end Samsung yet faster than a lot of monitors as far as input lag and response time.

I didn’t see a FPS setting on my BenQ, so I put it on game mode, and it works great for me so far. I went from a 48 in tv to the 24 in monitor. I’m having fun practicing In the event. Hopefully, it continues, but I’m so glad I bought the monitor.

This was me last year, I would always be so close to WS before last year but never made it. Made the change to monitor and kontrol freaks, now I am not gonna say it made me better or not but I made WS multiple times last year, I started playing the show about a week ago so let’s see it I make it this year.
Also I know the monitor 100% helped me get better with zone hitting. I used to get really frustrated with the big strike zone on my 55 inch tv, id move the wedge too much, with the monitor I was able to see the pitch and pace PCI much better

If you play on a Benq RL2455 or RL2755, I'd recommend using the standard picture mode over FPS.

I have a buddy who just got a monitor, and says he is 12-2 on ranked since getting it.

Why is this my man? I’ve heard FPS before for best input.

I have the 24, and I don’t even see that option on my settings.

You should. It’s under picture mode. There’s like 10 to 15 different options.
