    I think the only difference between that and the LG 49UH850V I mentioned is the 850 has "Passive 3D"

    http://www.displayspecifications.com/en/comparison/dd9418231

    And since you're embarresed to mention you are in Cork, I should point out if you want to spent €150 more, you can get the 55" version, but it's an ex display

    Ummmm.... so following on from my TV discussion last night.... I noticed the website lists the "Response time" for my current 32" Phillips as a "typically" 5ms


    Is that not like really, really good?
    Is response time the right spec to be looking at for input lag?

    Yeah, response time and input lag are not the same thing. Response time is just referring to how quickly a pixel can switch from active to inactive. It doesn't take into account things like picture processing etc

    Dunno if you've ever had the experience of, say watching a football match, and the ball leaves a sort of trail on the screen. That's a sign of poor response time.

    Also worth keeping in mind the response time advertised is the lwoest recorded, not an average or anything.

    i think if you're concerned about input lag just get a monitor otherwise I wouldn't worry about it.

    I'm sure there's some issue with monitors and the PS Pro, something like it doesn't do HDR.

    I'm seriously considering getting a monitor myself. Want to start playing at a desk rather than slouched in front of a TV

    The price of any decent 4k HDR monitor is mental right now though. Like twice the price of some of the TVs mentioned in this thread

    If I bought a PS-Pro, can I just take the hard drive in my PS4 and stick it into it?
    I have a 2TB HDD in the PS4 which is 1TB full so far, transferring 1TB of stuff would be an undertaking

    Regardless, as soon as you enter the HDD into another playstation it will wipe it all and set it up for that PS.

    Indeed, it needs to be transferred unfortunately.

    That makes it tricky to use the 2TB so instead of the 1TB that comes with the Pro :/

    Well yeah. You'd just have to download them all again if you use the 2tb, unless you have an external drive. Then you can transfer to external drive then insert 2tb into the Pro then from external to 2tb in the pro.
