there is only one place that i know that will let people buy ps5 on launch date & that is Gaming Gadgets at 1U.

they are not offering any po. instead they will only sell ps5 to customers on a first come first serve basis.

other retailers probably won't have any stock left on launch date due to the shortage of stocks.

meanwhile in japan

Safe, but avoid answering unknown phone call....

Up to Sony, XSX is still very attractive to me.

Cyberpunk 😏

good news for all gamers.
console are zero import tax after the RCEP trade deal that we just sign.

Halo xbox boi. Did u manage to po ps5?

Need the cheapest TV compatible with the PS5 ..... dont want to splurge more than necessary already. 

Depending on the monitor (not all), it can accept the 4K signal from the PS5 and the monitor will downscale to 1440p (but its 2160p 60Hz output from console into the monitor). You will also be able to change it to 1080p 120Hz but the monitor will upscale it to 1440p but it won’t look great. Apparently 4K to 1440p downscale is still ok to good looking (better than 1080p) but 1080p to 2k upscale looks worse than 1080p on a native monitor if you get what I mean.

Looking through this list seems like the 32inch i'm looking at don't have in Malaysia or prohibitively expensive for a secondary monitor for console gaming haha..


The EW3280U better?

As mentioned, TV cannot fit on my table haha ..  I only game on my workstation area because only place for me that is really private, where my wife and kids won't "enter"

LG Malaysia didn't bring in the LG CX48 right?  start at 55"

Actually honestly, I not care that much about hdr also haha..  my budget also not that high, it went from rm2k to now begrudgingly 3kish ..my main form of gaming is still my PC..

My order of priority is

4k @60hz ( VA/IPS .. i might prefer IPS because my current 1440p for PC gaming is IPS haha)
in fact i started off looking at these

27UL850-W
32UK550

but now looking for
32-43in size (43" is very forced already)

HDR i really don't care for it much because as you pointed out.. HDR you really need all those local dimming la .. certain brightness etc. They either don't come in smaller sizes for tv because I guess smaller sized tvs are considered budget here... or if on monitors they are considered super premium .. so it's probably not within my budget range anyway.

Totally agreed. 4K and ray-tracing might be awesome and all, but HDR is definitely the game changer here. Once you game in HDR, you cant go back to SDR anymore. Try playing Red Dead Redemption 2 in HDR....omg...

Personally I'd rate HDR gaming as #1 in wow factor as it is somewhat easy to implement, with FPS, 4K resolution and ray-tracing after.

Its a 1080p monitor, so its just like regular Joe monitor ....

Ultrawide isnt supported so I think if you get that you will get big black bars.
What you want to look at is resolution, refresh rate, HDMI type of the monitor, HDR support of the monitor, your budget, type of monitor panel.

I am planning on returning my 4k 60 UK670 monitor to get a Samsung G7 which is a 1440p monitor (not natively supported by PS5 as an output, but it takes the 4k signal and downscales to 1440p).

So if you aren't looking at high refresh rate monitors (you don't care about those kind of games that have a 120fps option, best to go for a 4K 60Hz monitor, you will have to watch reviews on which to go for, I would recommend the LG line, so UK600, UK650, UK670 etc. There are also other brands you can look at.

If you want a middle ground option (like me) 2K monitor with high refresh rate, you can look at LG GL850 or Samsung G7 or something around this range, you have the option to upscale from 1080p 120Hz or downscale from 4k 60Hz, a good middle ground until (if they do it) Sony allows 1440p output officially.

HDR is kinda shit for most monitors but it does make a small difference, people say HDR600 is what you should be looking for at least, I have had experience with HDR400 its ok larh, I don't really like HDR on monitors because it strains my eyes too much.

Whichever monitor you go for, do check the manual what resolution input it supports.

Make sure at least HDMI 2.0 port, panel its based on your own preferences there is IPS, VA, TN etc all have their own pros and cons.

I just read that announced a couple of months ago that hdmi 2.1 4k monitors coming. What do you guys think, will they be really pricey ? (like much pricier than any equivalent non hdmi2.1 60hz monitors?)

Don't know if i should wait it out.. or if it is out of my budget anyway , i get one now that i could use for work..

All I can say is they really need to improve customer communication.

Last week I call and online chat, they confirmed no hope, will refund me instead, cannot push to waiting list.

So I waited for my refund, no update, online chat with them today........... then plot twist.

All these while no email other than the initial pre-order confirmation.
