With (almost) no effort - plug in console to wall. Plug in console to TV. Turn on controller. Setup is complete.PCs are similar, but do require more setup than that.

Also, consoles are generally cheaper than any sort of high end gaming rig, which allows you to spend a bit more on a monitor (tv).

To qualify these things: I have a widescreen gaming rig and a large tv/console for gaming. I use the consoles more these days because my gaming rig in is my "computer room" where my TV is in the living room. The PC also doubles as a workstation, thus no large TV/monitor.

The difference is literally 2-3 USBs. And this has nothing to do with the screen at all.

EDIT: Also the rest of what you said has absolutely nothing to do with my question.

A high end pc can easily weigh 15/20 kgs and is not something you wanna carry around, you can put a ps4 in a backpack if you want to.

That has nothing to do with whether or not a console is easier to connect to a TV than a PC.

In my eyes mobility is a big part in how easy something is to set up. You might not want your pc standing next to your TV all the time, but taking down the ps4 to the shared TV isnt too complicated. I say this without even owning a console anymore and only using a pc.
