Personally I believe that anything over 27" is too large for a monitor. I would recommend you grab one with at least 144hz and no more than 1ms response. I took the Pro out of living room and put it with PC setup when I recently upgraded desk and had the extra space. It makes an incredible difference. SO much so that initially when pitching I was still using pulse and was hitting the button far to early because I wasn't use to the immediate feedback the monitor provides. My brain had been programmed to do press X slightly early, albeit very slightly as my TV has a game mode with 30ms response, but WOW what a huge difference it has on performance.
You have no idea what you are talking about to be honest. First of all “1ms of response time” is not input lag. No monitor has 1ms of input lag. Most monitors have about 10ms of input lag and that is very good. You are confusing terms. Second of all buying a monitor with 144hz refresh rate is a complete waste of money for a PS4 or PS4 Pro user. They are capped at 60hz so you will see no added benefit and will just be wasting money. The only case I would tell someone to buy one is if they were sure they would be getting a PS5 where it won’t be capped at 60hz.
I like to think considering I’ve been gaming on PC and building my own rigs for years that I know a little bit lol. I’m speaking in broad terms of Monitor purchases. In today’s modern age there’s no reason to have a monitor for gaming that’s less than 144hz especially considering it’s not a premium buy-in and if the guy ever wants to get into PC gaming he’s on the right track...Secondly I understand input lag and response time differences, I just didn’t make that clear in my post because I was typing on phone and didn’t want to go in depth in a thread about the differences in panels, benefits of input lag in contrast to response times, etc
