For console gamers, the quality of the picture will have an impact on the game experience. Why do you look at others playing, the picture seems to be quite good, but when you play on your own TV, it looks very different? This may be different from TV. Function related. If you do not pay attention to these details, it is likely to buy back a TV that is not suitable for playing games.
First, whether the TV contains HDMI2.0 interface
Although it seems that high-definition video content can be seen after the 4K TV is installed, if you purchase an older TV model without HDMI 2.0, the 4K 60Hz cannot be achieved even if you use the PS4 Pro.
This is because HDMI2.0 increases the bandwidth to 18Gb/s, which allows the TV's transmission speed to be effectively improved and supports high-quality output. At the same time, HDMI 1.4 does not support the HDR function even if the host is replaced. The picture quality will be improved.
In fact, the HDMI Forum has also released HDMI2.1 specifications and parameters. This standard also supports 8K 60Hz and 4K 120Hz output, and due to the increase in image quality, it also increases the bandwidth to 48Gbps. This also means 4K. 60Hz has not yet reached the display limit, we may also experience more powerful game quality effects.
Second, there is input delay
Although this parameter does not seem to be directly written in the product description, its size determines the feel of the game. During operation, some TVs react in a very short time and then only reflect the operation on the game. In the picture, this gives the player a feeling of delay. Now that there are some hardcore games on the console, it is quite a test operation. This kind of delay will also affect the operation.
The appearance of delay is actually a 'byproduct' after the improvement of the picture quality. Before the purchase, we can go to the offline store to test. Although some televisions are sufficiently high in resolution, they are not well-optimized in the algorithm, but they cause the input delay to be too high.
Third, is the TV really 4K?
4K has now become the standard for next-generation televisions, and the new generation of mainframes are also beginning to be compatible with 4K image quality. The output effect is quite obvious. But are all 4K TVs really 'real 4K'? This may be a question mark in our hearts. Now.
In fact, some television manufacturers have used the ‘RGBW’ slogan to add white pixels to the RGB array of panel pixels. However, this only improves the picture quality by sharing adjacent pixel points, but it does not fundamentally improve the resolution of the TV. Be careful when buying.
