The best PS4 gaming setup for the best experience

To get the most out of your favorite PS4 games, the choice here is not a choice at all. In this case, you'll want the larger version of the console: the PS4 Pro. It takes the lead because of its larger graphic power. A PlayStation 4 for the best experience meets the following requirements:

• 4K (in-game) image resolution
• PlayStation 4 Pro

Besides image quality, sound also plays an important role in providing the best gaming experience. The sound and music enhance the exact atmosphere and emotion that the scenes in your games want to convey. Good directional sound also gives you a nice advantage in (online) gameplay, because you can hear where opponents are located. A good PlayStation 4 headset has the following properties:

• Surround sound

Modern games look fantastic, but in most cases this comes with considerable loading times. Fortunately, this can easily be improved with the PS4 Pro. You can switch the built-in hard drive of your PS4 relatively easily with an SSD or a hybrid drive (SSHD). This gives you more storage capacity and/or shorter loading times.

The last choice is perhaps one of the most important ones and just as essential as the PS4 itself. Whether you play fast games like Call of Duty or slower games like Red Dead Redemption 2, a low input lag prevents screen lag. A high resolution provides more detail. Optimal enjoyment of any graphic feat has at least a number of requirements:

• 4K resolution
• HDR support
• Up to 50ms response time

Both monitors and TVs have their own pros and cons, but it mostly comes down to a battle between higher image quality or lower input lag. The best experience here depends on your usage situation and personal preference. A monitor has a lower input lag than a television. That way you can respond to your opponents more quickly. Choose one with the following properties for a good experience:

• At least 27-inch screen size
• 60Hz refresh rate
• 1ms response time (superfast)
• 4K resolution
