What games are you going to play? FPS, RTS, MOBA, etc?

Edit: and is this for your PS4 or are you building/do you have a PC?

It is for a PS PRO with a SSD.

I figure, top of the line (literally that I can get at the house) internet, top of the line gaming console (pro) and top of the line hard drive (SSD), the only bottleneck is literally the monitor.

So i know I dont need 144hz as the PS4 PRO only maxes (and pretty much locked) at 60fps. doing it more for the 4k goodness, and the quicker response time.

side note, is a special 4k style HDMI cable even needed? or is that just snake oil and the regular HDMI cables will do fine?

Regular hdmi cable is fine. Just get a new one off Amazon.

Depending on how old your HDMI cable is, you might need to get a new one. 2.0 is capable of 4k@60, 1.4 (I think was the iteration before) can do 4k@24/30, iirc.

I'm a HUGE BenQ nutswinger. Been using them for 4? years or so now. Went from 1080p 60hz monitor from them to a 1080p 144hz and I've loved both of them. Here's a few of them that meet your criteria:

Looks like the 28 is a 1ms response and the 32 is a 4ms response, both w/ built in speakers (although I would recommend getting externals, almost anything external will be a better sound quality than built in speakers).

aparrently the PRO comes with the proper premium hdmi cable.. so im good there.

the benQ (which ill admit i have never heard of) has THOUSANDS of superb 4-5 star reviews on amazon... so thats promising.


thanks for the info

I know dick about monitors. I got a 24 inch Asus with IPS display and 5-4MS response in 1080. Cause it was less than $100.

Id mirror what Wombat said though. Ive heard nothing but good things about BenQ. They advertise the shit out of them when watching Street Fighter tournaments.

I eventually want to try a 1440P and use displayport but for now Ill rock what I got.

BenQ is Hella legit.

1440 is where it's at. Just saying

I bought a Benq floor model monitor a few years ago, still looks amazing. Will go back for another

I have an asus predator 1080p 144hz. I doubt a ps4 pro could run well enough to get the full benefit out of a 4K 144hz monitor. Serious rigs with 1080ti’s are able to, though.

Ps4Pro runs many games in 4k checkerboard so having a 4k monitor would be beneficial.

4K at 60hz maybe. 4K 144hz, not sure about that.

Yup. 60hz max for any console at this point
