The whole system is very niche, i personally don't have any interest in the games they offer, so idk sell it

I’ve got both and I’d recommend PS5, the exclusives are much better and the controller is streets ahead.

I have the 65 inch. The blacks absolutely blow me away… the intro to Andor really shows it off well.

PS4 games on PS5 have limited transfer speeds from SSD which results in slower loading times.

PS5

At first glance I thought you were watering the TV with a packet of turkey gravy stuck to your shoe. But once i took a bite of my freshly potted bar of soap I really took notice of the fact that I have bought a lot of people fish sandwiches.

I would have said PS5 since you prefer the controller, but it not supporting AMD Freesync seems like a deal breaker. The real strength of the PS5 is its exclusives, but if you're just gonna be sticking to 5 or so multi plats, I'd say Series X. It's a little more powerful than PS5, so you're probably gonna see higher framerates. Also, things are just easier on the Series X. I own all three, butt find myself reaching for the Series X controller when push comes to shove.

Actually no 4k, less fidelity, less frames per second, and PS+ Premium has more games than Gamepass for the same price. The Series S is a piece of trash console.

I bought a TV last year and my partner bought a monitor two months ago. Here's what I learned from all our research before our purchases:

From my limited knowledge monitors usually have freesync not vrr. And vice versa for TV's. It's not impossible to find a monitor with vrr and tv with freesync but it would be hard I imagine.

Adding to that there is no 1440p TV's that I know of. Only 1080p or 2160p.

I easily experience sensory overload from visual and audio sources so it's really really important for me to look at pleasant, balanced and not oversaturated colors on a monitor. I tried many brands at my local electronics shop with my laptop thanks to understanding staff and decided that Samsung and LG has best looking panels in both TV's and monitors.

If you're looking something smaller than 32 inches I recommend you check out Samsung Odyssey G5. If you're looking something bigger around the same price range, 43 inch for example, check out Samsung M5 or M7. Those were my favorites.

Hey thank you so much for your suggestions! I was wondering about Freesync/VRR; would you recommend getting a monitor that supports these standards, even if the screen resolution is 1440p? Or would it not matter for that resolution? Sadly I can’t go to a store and try out monitors, so I have no first hand experience.

Why series X? I scrolled through a couple of “suggestion” posts and everyone seem to recommend series X, primarily because of the game pass. Is there more to it than game pass? Specification-wise they look the same on paper

Samsung has good price/performance monitors. Look for M5 and M7 series. If you're below 4k don't ever worry about frame rate drops in both consoles.

Also Hogwarts Legacy is coming to both Xbox Series and PS5 as far as I know.

You have some experience with Nintendo exclusives as you said, if you're into that you might check PlayStation exclusives too. Xbox is clearly the better console in many ways but it's a machine that you buy to play games so, I think it's better to make your choice based on which games you're looking forward to play not better GPU and CPU etc.

That being said I think PS5 is a better choice in my opinion today. This is coming from someone who owns both consoles. Xbox has good games on the horizon but they're yet to deliver whereas PS5 has already great exclusives.

3rd party games are similar on both consoles performance-wise so no worries on that end.

Lastly try to get a console with disc driver. In the long run you can buy some games cheaper as physical copies or share some games with your friends. Don't get stuck to digital storefront only.

If you're not looking for 4k, the Xbox series S could be a good option. It's cheaper than the series X and ps5 and has all of the next gen benefits except the 4k resolution. Also xbox game pass can be a really good deal if you like to play a lot of different games.

Depends on the game, but generally yes, they are incorporated.

That seems to be changing a bit in the last couple of years, though, with cross-platform stuff making it more complicated. Removing them is its own complication, though, so it is slow-moving change at best.

My router is downstairs and my PS5 is upstairs. I get thrown out of games about 50% of the time and I bought it like a month ago. Whenever I don’t get thrown out it always lags hard and I have a bad connection bar in the corner of the game. Not once since purchasing it have I had a game run crystal clear expect MW2 Campaign, Online for that game is almost impossible to play I’ll empty a clip into someone almost every shot somehow misses and they turn around and shoot me dead after 3 bullets. In the kill can I barely hit them and I’m just standing in one spot and they always easily kill me. However my PS4 is in the same room and it’s never lagged this bad being in close to the same spot as the PS5 and I have 4TB worth of games on my PS4 I can actually play games without lag on that system it just takes longer to fire it up and doesn’t look as clear. The PS4 is my original which I had for probably 4-5 Years if not longer and the PS5 is less then 2 months old and I still preform better on the 4. It’s also like I don’t have shitty wifi I don’t understand why it’s so bad. I can run 4 PS4’s at the same time and they will still run better then my PS5 with barely anything connected to the WiFi and trust me I have run 4 PS4’s in my house plenty of times before my household has 3 of them.

I have both. They play the same. Any difference in performance is minute to the point where it's not noticeable. Also, Sony didn't make a more powerful version. They changed a couple chips around, sure. They weren't for performance, though. Now, it just runs cooler and uses less energy.

Do load times count in speed running?
