PS4 PRO on PG279Q or second monitor with 4k?

[Dorustr]

Dear people,

 

First of all sorry for my english, I want to get a PS4 PRO soon and i currently have a PG279Q and a 1080p monitor now i was wondering if the PS4 PRO will look good on the pg279q or if i should invest for a 4k monitor to use a second monnitor and for my ps4 and will it be worth it? and will it use more pc power if use a 4k monitor as a second monitor on my pg279q while gaming..

 

Thanx alot.

Even the PS4 Pro stuggles with anything more than 1080p. I'd say stick with 1080p and set the console to the best settings, using a $1000 monitor for a $500 console is just.... wrong. That display is capable of a lot more.

If you want a pr0 because of 4k. Dont waste your Money on it.

Yea im getting triggered fast to buy new stuff would i be better of buying a nice IPS 1080P panel and a slim ps4? or would you guys get the ps4 pro? i am not planning to use it all of the time but mostly for the console exclusives that are coming like RD2, God of war, Spoderman etc

The PS4 Pro is going to render at the maximum settings and resolution regardless of what you set the output to.

 

That said, the extra horsepower is nice to have.

bear in mind that some games do not run at 4k. this is mostly the case for games that use checkerboarding, so they'll look 4k.

to me the ps4 pro seems worth it if you already have a 4k HDR TV display. there are some games that will let you change some settings to favor like better frame rates, trading visual fidelity. but i can't guarantee every game will have this amount of freedom 

 

also it's possible RDR 2 will come to pc

Thanx guys i think i might just go for a new 27 inch ips monitor to use a second monitor and for the ps4. Btw do you guys know if im using 4k monitor display as second monitor will it use more power while gaming on pg279q with watching videos/streams etc?

Neither the potato can't output in 2k and can only do native 4k on trails evolution. Your better off putting it on a 1080p screen
