What TV or monitor should I get to enjoy 4k with the ps4 pro? null

Question

Accepted Answer

Well probably no PS4 games will support 4K, though many will support higher than 1080p. (I've read that 2500ish lines of resolution might be common). 

At any rate, I'd recommend a high end Sony or Samsung using a VA panel. I guess because it's cheaper, a lot of TVs are now using IPS panels instead of VA, and VA has *WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY* higher contrast than IPS does. Like when I was looking at TVs earlier this year, the VA based one I bought has nearly 7000:1 contrast (REAL contrast, not fake), while IPS based sets I was looking at had 700:1. The WORST VA based TVs still had over 2x the contrast of the BEST IPS sets. 

I think ONLY Sony and Samsung still sell VA TVs, and not all of them are anymore either. 

Also watch out for how many HDMI ports actually support HDMI 2.0/HDCP 2.2 so you can actually use them with 4K/HDR. All of Sony's 4K sets support 4K through all their HDMI ports, but they're the only company that's true of. Samsung you have to move to the 8 or 9 series to get all the ports supporting HDMI 2.0/HDCP 2.2, and other brands usually just have 1 port that supports it. 

On top of that, Sony and Samsung bother making good scalers for their TVs, so non-4K content still looks great. (Literally SD content still looks fine.) WAY higher quality scaler than other brands. 

I sound like an ad, but seriously I did months of research and if you care about games (and being able to support a variety of other gear at different resolutions), you're really limited to Sony and Samsung. 

Also, look out for TVs that don't have analog inputs anymore :-/

If you can, I'd recommend a high end Sony or Samsung, using a VA based panel. Most TVs use IPS which has way worse contrast. VA can have literally 10x the contrast, and even "bad" VA sets have easily 2x+ the contrast of "good" IPS sets. I think only Sony and Samsung still make VA sets (presumably they cost more...). Some of their sets are IPS though, so you have to kind of check on a case by case basis, but the highest end ones should be VA.

Sony and Samsung are the only ones to look at also because they both do a good job with input lag, with scaling, etc., which a lot of sets cheap out on. There's just a ton of stuff to get right, and most companies don't nail it all.

Also worth noting-ALL Sony 4K sets have support for 4K on all HDMI ports. Most brands only a single HDMI port supports 4K, and Samsung it depends on the model. I think with the 8 and 9 series they all support 4K, but with the 7 and below only one does. (ALL ports need to support HDMI 2.0/HDCP 2.2, and again, most companies cheap out and only include a single port-or sometimes NO ports-that properly support 4K).

A 1080p set though doesn't need HDMI 2.0/HDCP 2.2, so they're NOT cheaping out by lacking them.

Samsung's 7000 series and 8000 series are both feet at with low input lag for HDR. Vizio P and M series are both also good choices.

I bought a 50" LG 4K UHD TV and the PS4 Pro produces amazing graphics on that! Normally I buy Samsung, but the LG had full HDR and was an absolute steal at $399 last Saturday!
