Minor but important parameters
After the buyer has found several representatives according to the criteria described above, and he cannot make a choice, he should move on to secondary characteristics. However, you should know that they are no less important and will help you fully evaluate the graphics and gameplay in various games.
The main thing is to know what to pay attention to and what to miss:
- Response time. There is no need to go into complex technical details when selecting this parameter. Because it won't be useful to everyone. It is only important to know that the parameter is specified in milliseconds. The lower the response time, the sharper and clearer the image is transmitted to the screen. This should be especially taken into account by those who like to spend the evening in a dynamic shooter. The recommended value should not exceed 5 ms, but this value is only suitable for the PS4 pro console.
- Connectors. No one has any problems with this, because every modern TV is equipped with at least 1 HDMI connector. With its help, a connection is formed between the console and the TV. If you plan to use other equipment, there should be more connectors so that you do not have to constantly remove the cable.
- Smart TV is not always useful. Because the console will already provide the user with Internet access and allow you to install popular applications, including Netflix, YouTube, HBO GO, etc. But, as a rule, most modern models are already equipped with Smart TV, so its presence will not interfere in any way.
- Curved TV. The peculiarity of this TV is that it has an attractive curved screen. Of course, some do not understand the advantage of this design, but it provides better immersion in the game, especially if a person is close to the TV.
- Auxiliary interfaces. It is better to buy models that support Wi-Fi connection so that you do not need to lay a network cable to the console. It would also be useful to have Bluetooth, PiP and PaP.

Methods for connecting the PlayStation 4 console to a TV receiver
It’s very easy to connect PS4 to any modern TV that has at least one HDMI connector. For this it is enough:
- connect both devices with the cable included with the console (if it is short, you can purchase the same one, only longer);
- plug in the equipment;
- connect a joystick and an Ethernet cable to the PS4 if the connection to the Network will be via a wire and not Wi-Fi;
- turn on devices;
- Select the HDMI input on your TV as the signal source to which the console is connected.
Advice! If a user decides to purchase a longer cable for a PS4 Pro that supports 4K, they should purchase an HDMI that is capable of delivering 4K resolution.
If your TV is old and does not have HDMI connectors, you will need to purchase an adapter or converter from HDMI to AVI to connect your PS4. When connecting equipment in this way, the user must understand that the picture quality will be low.
If the TV has a VGA connector, the connection can be configured through it using an HDMI to VGA adapter or a similar converter with additional power. It is better to use the latter, because the adapters are unreliable, and you will have to play without sound, because... The VGA connector only transmits video signals. The converter has an additional 3.5 mm output, through which you can connect headphones or speakers.

Input delay, what is it and why is it needed?
When buying a high-quality TV for a set-top box, it is important to pay attention to signal delay. This option will improve your comfort in online or regular games. Signal delay is often referred to as Input Lag. If you ignore it, then some people's characters will respond better to commands than those who bought the cheapest TVs.
For example, with an input delay of 40 ms or more, you should not expect a lightning-fast reaction from the character. There will be a slight but noticeable decrease in response, this will affect comfort and can often affect the outcome of the tournament (if a person is playing a dynamic online shooter).
Therefore, before buying a TV for a set-top box, pay attention first to the delay, and then to the other parameters. Ideally, Input Lag should be less than 20 ms. The only downside is that TV manufacturers rarely list latency in the technical specifications. This complicates the search, since the buyer will have to study dozens of reviews for a particular product. If you know someone who has a console, you can ask them for advice.
Which TV to choose for PS4
The best TV for PS4 should have the following features:
- Monitor resolution is at least Full HD. Long-lasting models with 4K resolution are included in the described rating.
- Diagonal – the larger the better, but it depends on the size of the room.
- Update frequency index. An indicator responsible for the smoothness of the picture in motion. The required value is at least 100 Hz.
- Game mode: disables artificial image enhancers and transfers power to fast response and high image refresh rates. This feature is automatically enabled on Samsung TVs.
- Signal latency is the most important indicator. The tolerable range is from 40 to 10 ms. Specific information disclosed only on gamer forums or equipment sellers.
It should be noted that you should not chase a monitor that is too large: it is both expensive and cumbersome for a small room. The PS4 slim picture on a 4k TV screen will look the same as a regular one. Before you buy a model, it is best to come to the store with a game console and check the device in action.
So, the best TVs for PS4 Pro 2021 are: Samsung UE65MU9000U 64.5″, OLED Sony KD-55AG8 54.6″ and OLED Sony KD-77A1 76.7″. Among the inexpensive models, you can choose Asano 40LF1010T. You don't have to pay a lot of money for acceptable quality.
Sony KD-55XG9505 54.5" (2019)
A Sony LCD TV can be bought one and a half times cheaper than an OLED, but the picture on it will not be as contrasty. However, the VA-based KD-55XG9505 supports HDR, 4K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The built-in audio system has a power of 20 W, which will be enough for small rooms. The model also uses Android TV and supports voice control.
The TV has an almost frameless screen, so it will take up little space - even with a 55-inch diagonal. In addition, it can be mounted on the wall using VESA 300x300.
