to monitor players... does it really make a difference?
-
Currently a championship player on a 2012 Samsung TV (had to settle, I've broken a lot of TVs) but I was thinking about getting a monitor. Is it worth it?
-
Yes, absolutely. Huge upgrade and you don't even need a good monitor to have a profound difference over TV.

thanks... been stuck at in the 750-850 range for a while with this tv. getting one asap.

The highest I ever got in 18 was about 890. That was the last year I played on a TV. Playing on a monitor was the main thing that pushed me over the WS threshold in 19.

Just enable auto aim and track pitch in settings. Its amazing.

Good suggestion. I have one of those just lying around. https://imgur.com/eqvbMjg one of these should do it. Running a Linux as needed monitor. Might move with it one day.

The difference for hitting is absolutely night and day. I've only gamed on a monitor for the last two years, but my PS4 was hooked up to my old TV the other day so I decided to take some at-bats for fun... it was absolutely hilarious how bad I was, and how late I was on EVERYTHING.
I also use the Asus stuff, would highly recommend... and not that pricey. Honestly if you are CS on a TV you will be World Series in no time on a monitor.

Yeah man, big difference. My monitor is a Samsung 390 series 24” LED curved. It has a 4ms response time and 60 HZ refresh rate. And it works really well. I’m playing on HOF right right now and am usually early/very early on fastballs. Even when I play on legend offline I’m still early on the heaters. A lot of people recommend the monitors with 1 MS and a 144 HZ refresh rate but you can go with a cheaper option like the one that I have and still be very competitive.

People will tell u night and day going from a tv that came out in like 2012 to a monitor . How about a more up to date TV Can anyone tell me how big a difference it is going from a TCL 6 series to a monitor ?asking for a friend.

I have a tcl 43S525 and a acer vg271 and I don’t notice a big difference between them with my hitting. Either I’m on or I’m off, there’s no inbetween with me.
I bought the monitor for my pc that I game on a lot not to replace the tv. I did use a old insignia 50 inch before I got the tcl and going from the insignia to the tcl was a huge difference. A newer good tv should do the job just fine.
The problem I have with a monitor right now is the 4k ones are expensive for a good one. Ps5 is around the corner and buying a 1080p monitor now is kinda foolish unless you plan on keeping the ps4 for a few years longer.

I just bought a monitor ($300 price range gaming monitor) to see if there was a big difference from my fairly new (2019 model) samsung. I don't really notice any difference at all. PS4 is 60 hz refresh rate. Newer TV's with game mode have great latency time... so I think when people say "night and day" maybe they are referring to older TV's?

That’s what I’m saying my Tv TCL 6 series is newer TV has game mode and low input lag it’s good for gaming . So maybe a monitor isn’t has necessary for me as someone with a older TV .

Check out Sceptre monitors. I have a 27" curved display that is great. Makes a huge difference

@joeythebigboss
I looked it up and your TV does have probably the best input lag I've seen on a TV at like 11 ms but my TV is around 13-14 and I can definitely notice the difference on a monitor so I'm sure you would as well. its not going to be a omg this is night and day difference but it will be a whoa I used to be very late on that pitch and now I'm not...

Honestly unless it’s night and day I just don’t even know where I would put a monitor as it is I have no space in my room . My TV takes up enough space plus I like playing on a big TV 50+ Inches.

For sure , huge difference
