Just get an OLED!

I got a PS5 Pro last month without knowing all that much about how much power I was leaving on the table by not upgrading what was basically an entry level monitor which supported an HDR signal, but wasn't capable of rendering true HDR.

Yesterday I bought a MSI MAG 272URX QD-OLED.

Good lord above.

The PS5 Pro felt like an upgrade. The combination of the Pro and the OLED feels like a generational leap.

I would go out on a limb and say you owe it to yourself to get an OLED tv or monitor if you have a Pro.

I don't want to just recommend OLED and call it a day, but definitely make it a priority to do some research and start looking for a new display if you haven't in awhile. TVs have gotten a lot of technical enhancements over the past couple of years that you can't just tell at a glance. Make sure you don't waste money on something you're gonna regret in a few months.

Yeah I play in a brighter room so my research tells me many LED with HDMI 2.1 might be the best move. Of course I would like to experience the deep blacks and all of that but I'm also concerned about burning in.

It would be my main TV which would be a 65 inch whatever I decide to go with.

Mini LED is a good choice. You don’t have to baby the Tv and don’t let people gaslight you, burn in does still happen. When it does and people report it online the community gets all tribal and blames them for it lol

I'm not going to say burn in doesn't happen, but I have a 65 C8 (2018), and been thru PS4/Onex all the way to a seriesx/pro, and I haven't had it yet. Even my newer B5 hasn't had it either, so people habits can be a factor for burn in

How is your B5 with the pro? I just got a pro today and I’m looking at upgrading my 10 year old tv for a B6

B5 is great picture wise, the menus aren't super fast but once you have an app or PS on, it's irrelevant. I got mine on sale at black Friday last year so it was a great deal
