TV for PS4

[edyzmedieval]

One thing I'm not fully understanding is whether a TV impacts how good you see the graphics on the PS4 - provided that they're all up to a certain standard, like Full HD.

Clearly, diameter is one thing, but would there be such a huge difference between 100$ and 500$ for a TV for a PS4?

Resolution is the big thing. I think you are correct that it needs to be 1080p. (last time I consoled was Xbox360)

Other than that.. how big would you like your television?

What? No. 1080i is outdated. 1080p or 4k if you might get a PS4 Pro or newer.

And yes, there are other parameters such as refresh rate, potentially input lag, color and overall image quality, brightness, backlight bleeding, sound quality, for smart TVs also security and more. These are just off the top of my head and I'm tired.

Can't go terribly wrong with an OLED screen. In general, the more black is really black the better the tv, very few get that right. If you have a PS4-pro you might want to have a 4k, I myself (essential for gaming sadly) don't like 4k screens the image is so restless, don't like high-res tv's in general but that's just me

What is restless about it? I have a 4k 27" monitor and I find the image is a lot more pleasing to the eyes because it is sharper, especially text.
Restless sounds like you had some scaling or other issue that isn't normal.

I never consoled before in my house - so it's all new for me.

I'm just curious to see whether it has an impact on overall viewing quality, considering you're getting at least a relatively decent TV to go with it. Not interested in huge screens, I want them to be decent sized because after all it's space constraints.

Although one of those massive Samsung OLED curved screens the size of an entire wall are quite sweet...

It's just a matter of preference, there is just something about HD-tv's that scream in my face, they are too bright, too sharp, I like my tv to look like viewing through a window. OLED-screens are getting where I want them to be but I am kinda spoiled when it comes to that window-quality, I sacrifice some resolution for the greater good. I basicly got a high-density low-tech screen, I get around the lower input with an amplified HDMI to scart converter, the end result is really neat.
