With both the Xbox One S and PS4 Pro on the market — and Project Scorpio set for next year — many Australians are thinking of taking the plunge to a 4K TV.
The thing is, not all 4K TVs are alike. It’s important that consumers choose a new set that meets the demands of their console of choice.
At a bare minimum, here’s what we think should influence your decision:
- Refresh rate: While 60Hz will do in a pinch, 120Hz or even 240Hz is much preferred
- HDMI support: The 4K delivery standard is HDMI 2.0
- HDCP support: HDCP 2.2 is preferred
- HDR support: HDR 10 will make the most of your console
- RGB support: Required
- Size: This differs depending on the distance you are from your television. At less than 5 feet, a 40″ TV works best. 55″ sets are best from 4.5 to 7 feet, and 65″ sets from 5.5 to 8 feet.
If you’ve more cash to spend, you might also consider the following:
- LED or OLED: OLED is better, but more expensive
- Curved, or not: This is really personal preference, as there are pros and cons with each. Curved sets offer a more immersive viewing experience, but tend to reflect light and have more ‘sweet spots’ to find
