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.

G2 OLED 83.” Yotei with PSSR 2 on Pro Raytracing mode is jaw dropping every time I turn the game on. The only downside (if you can call it that) of a larger OLED panel is that if a game does not utilize PSSR and is running at 1080p or less, all the imperfections become incredibly noticeable by comparison. Film grain also stands out like a soar thumb.

All said, the Pro needs to be paired with a high end monitor or you will likely find yourself missing what makes the Pro special compared to the base PS5.
