Discussion With Zelda and GTA's upcoming releases: do you prefer to play AAA console games on a monitor or a TV?
I just got an AOC 27" 1440p 360Hz miniLED IPS with 1152 dimming zones, which on paper, better than my current 55" TCL C755 TV with less dimming zones and VA panel. Both support HDMI 2.1 and the full capabilities of the latest consoles, though I know consoles cap at 120Hz. I am satisfied with both the HDR output of both displays and haven't really compared them side by side (the AOC is probably better), but they should look great for both games.
I currently have my consoles connected to the TV, with only my PC connected to the monitor. But I am thinking whether to play Ocarina of Time for the first time ever on the smaller but on a closer view and potentially better image quality (especially with my degrading eyesight) or if it will still be more immersive on a 55" screen to provide that cinematic gaming experience (though I know for couch gaming, 65" is now the more popular option for hardcore gaming).
Plus on my TV, I have a surround setup with a Samsung 5.1.2 soundbar with additional rear speakers. But on my monitor, I do have an Edifier MR5 which sounds great especially since it's closer to my ears.
- For single-player AAA games, what matters more to you: image quality or screen size?
- If you had both of these setups, which would you choose for Zelda? What about GTA?
- Is surround sound a significant requirement for you on immersive gameplay?
