I did the same thing. When I was in the market for a new tv, cause old one died, I made sure the new one had these features, and got a 2.1 hdmi cable. Never had any issues so far.
The only application this cable serves is to have extra length. The cable that comes with the ps5 is designed to be compatible with every feature it supports
Don't forget to use ethernet cable with at least CAT 6 rating and adding a SSD with heat sink and clearing cache from safe mode. Balancing the memory to at least 70% of its capacity per memory drives you have. If you keep your system cool with accessory fans (recommend the centrifugal exhaust fan) you won't get bottle necked throttling in peak performance gaming for when you have those intense battles where high frames are demanded. I'm still looking for ways to improve my experience with my ps5 but great tips from this video.
You should not leave the 120hz option on . Games that don’t have a performance mode option will drop your resolution to 1080p by default without buffing the frames. I booted up A plague tale Requiem which suppose to run 1440p at 30fps but immediately noticed it was blurry and nowhere near 1440p so I went to video output info on the ps5 and found that it’s running 1080p at 120hz even tho the game does not run at 120fps. So it nerfed the resolution without buffing any frames. Had to turn the option off from the ps5 in order to get it playing at 1440p. Just a heads up
Is this a real thing? I didnt think it made a difference but I did notice worse graphics when I played some games. I'll take it off and turn it back on for games that do have it
@@jaygordz603 yes no joke it did that to me with plague tale Requiem and was wondering why the picture isn’t sharp,I was baffled and kept browsing through the ps5 untill I saw it’s outputting at 1080p 120 hz when the game doesn’t even run at 60,let alone 120. Turned the option off and the game got sharp and showed outputting at 2160p. This was the first time it ever happened to me on the ps5 but then again it was the first game I play on the ps5 that maxed at 30fps and did not offer a performance mode. So my guess is this will happen with games that run at 30fps and don’t offer different modes or the developers of a plague tale Requiem are just too lazy to optimise the game to output the best settings accordingly by default. Either way I’m leaving it off unless i play a game that offers 120fps and I want that mode
On my TV, game mode butchers the colour so also I ended up playing with the saturation and black level presets and much more to receive a vivid look on game mode. My friends thought I had a 4K HDR TV although it's actually just 1080P. I highly suggest that you also play with the settings to your preferences to receive the best quality.
Some TV's game modes are only colour presets. Turning off the "motion smoothing" settings like noise reduction will lower the input lag.All settings that are processing the picture should be off
@@diskopumper1693 game mode on my TV gets rid of the ghosting issues on the bottom half of the screen and matches the response time accurately to the top half of the screen.
Turning on all those black level adjustments on your tv might make the picture look better, but it's going to make your input lag worse, and your audio delay depending on your setup.
I'm glad somebody gets it! The display is one of the worst you can buy and the HDMI cable is the exact same as an unbranded one, except that its 8x as expensive.. These videos are for sh|t!
The refresh rate 120 HZ only matters if your TV has 120 if your TV has 60 then you can't set it to 120. My TV is a 4K Samsung but it only has 60 hertz and I'm okay with that.
Avoid 120 like a plague then because as soon as you actually experience gameplay through it 60 fps is a garbled mess, I play at 165 for the past 4 years and tried dropping down to 60 with RE4 remake to see how it plays and it was like my mind was trying to fill in the frame gaps with information from previous playthroughs, I can't go back.
Fun fact: This is a little quirk I found when using the performance game preset. Some games, even if they don't technically have a 120hz output option, setting the preset to performance will actually try to force the game to run at 120hz. I found this out when playing the PS5 version of No More Heroes 3. Just to be clear, this is the only game I've experienced this with, I haven't experienced this with any of my other games. It could literally just be this one game and no others but still cool nonetheless.
This video was very helpful to me, a guy who keeps registering for a chance to buy a PS5 but never getting selected....Thanks a lot Sony for giving everyone a fair chance to purchase a PS5.
I have the Sony M9 and it's amazing, that's coming from me who has had a top of the line asus monitor, the color is amazing, the hdmi 2.1 works magic and the friendly user interface is very nice and easy to use I'd give it a 9/10
The M9 monitor is amaze balls I got it for my first purchase and seen it has all the features needed for ps5. Although there are better alternatives and you're basically paying for the name it's decent.
Can you please elaborate what is so transformative about it especially that nothing atm on consoles plays in 4K @120fps so the 2.1 is irrelevant right now. I have a 2018 Samsung Q9FN which does not support HDMI 2.1,neither does it support VRR but supports Freesync instead.Bought a 2021 Samsung QN90A last year which supports 2.1 and VRR,as well as all the blows and whistles that comes with it in terms of gaming features but wana know something? I gamed once on it then ran straight back to the 2018Q9 and I don’t think I want to game on it again unless 4K@120fps becomes a thing. The performance on both tv felt exactly the same but the picture quality was downgraded on the QN90A. Shitty blacks,blooming galore and way too overblown bright. My 2018 Q9FN still delivers those perfect blacks and vivid vibrant colours at the same time with zero blooming. So how are you benefiting from the HDMI 2.1 when nothing has so far showed its capabilities. Hell some games can’t even give us 1440p at 60fps let alone native 2160p at 120fps. Just curious what you experienced that’s all. Cos I’m starting to believe this whole 2.1 hdmi bullshit is nothing but a cooperate scam so we can buy the new TVs
@@mohamadkhawaja9271 the latest CoD titles, Fortnite, Borderlands 3, Destiny 2, DOOM Eternal, Overwatch, Rainbow Six Siege... Sure 120fps is not universal with every title, but not every title needs it. 60fps content still benefits from a TV that outputs 120hz and also uses Freesync/VRR, preferably Freesync Premium. In the sense that input lag is reduced further.
You TV also has an even faster mode than "game mode" but often it is hidden. TVs also come with a "PC mode", activating it can require a step to make it appear in your display settings. For example, on my Samsung panel it requires changing the HDMI input label to "PC" to make it appear in the options, on some TVs this can be limited to HDMI 1 only though it is generally better even if it's available on all inputs that you use a rear panel connector as generally this means a shorter circuit path so there is less opportunity for interference and cross talk within the circuit.
That’s how I’ve done it on my 2 LG Oled sets I have hooked to the PS5 disc edition & Xbox series X you just choose Pc output on the HDMI & just change the name to the devices name yourself these panels also have extensive game mode menu’s that have everything VRR status etc.
@@CASHATP I've never used an LG TV but there is a comment above that might help. Alternatively google "how do I select PC mode on an LG [model number] TV into Google and you'll probably find a thread or maybe even a QA from LG themselves.
I'm using the hdmi cable that came with the PS5 and it's connected to my LG C1 55in TV, 120hz tv, it runs supported games at 120hz with low latency and VRR on.
You do not need an HDMI 2.1 for high refresh rate for 1080p any HDMI would do the job. It's only useful for PC 1440p 240hz or 4k 144hz. But displayport is usually used anyway
HDMI 2.0 connection can allow for 120fps, but at either at 1080p or 1440p so we are good :) (if you have a 1440p max monitor). HDMI 2.1 connection essentially allows for 120fps at 4K, or 8K at 60fps.
i use DTS, it stands for dolby theatre surround (7.1ch) you can mess arround with game settings accordingly, when it played rdr 2 i could hear all around me it was epic
Btw it’s not performance from the ps5 because that doesn’t change. It’s the latency you are cutting from external products. Just decreases input delays aka the time you feel between button press and what you see on the screen.
Also should be noted that your TV settings could be harming your experience most modern TVs have game mode you should switch over to or some TV settings needs to be disabled or tweaked for a smoother experience.
Most games now-a-days you pretty much have to spend a solid 10 minutes dedicated to customizing your controls with 2-10 further tweaks down the line. For example, I couldn’t get my DEAD SPACE settings quite right, then realized I prefer XY Aim sensitivity maxed to 100, with Stick Sensitivity set to basically 0. Controls feel so smooth now. Took a good 20 mins to realize this. And that’s just trial and error to get the controls right. Prayers to the casuals who have no idea what dead zones and stuff are lol.
Hey, do you know if these cables would work for Amazon fire TV 4K? The TV itself only goes up to 60HZ. Would these cables make a difference? I guess my question is essentially will this make a difference on any TV that only goes to 60HZ? With 4K?
So i just figured out that on my Sony X900H when you use VRR it disables local zones for HDR.... Which one do you think is more beneficial to have on? or is it on a game by game basis? What % of games have a noticeable difference with VRR vs how many with local zones for HDR?
I agree with the benefits of a modern TV and using an HDMI 2.1 rated cable; however that sony cable is assuredly overpriced vs what you can buy from Infinite Cables or Monoprice. That said, good stuff.
It has been the worst exercise ever.. customer support is worse then Nintendo's. Controllers cost way too much and the extra features are barely implemented in the very few exclusive games. Anything you want besides the basic "put disc in and play" costs extra. Sony is the most anti consumer company right after Apple.
@@SubjektDelta Its not just sony lil bro. Its businesses in general because this is how money is made. Sony is and will always be 10x the company xbox is and that's coming from an xbox user. 8 years from the original box launch they barely changed the UI and added absolutely nothing to the next gen controller. On top of that the elite controllers don't even last 6 months despite the complaints. I cant wait to go back to PlayStation
@@GaveMeStyle7 so you shit on xbox cause the UI didnt change and the controller why change if its perfect i have the elite controllers and the regular on the daily its been years and gamepass is def better in the future even now its effing great it really is just depends on the person theres a lot of good stuff on gamepass and xbox has a lot of exclusives coming.
Thank you, I'm learning new things about my PS5 from this video, I had no idea that there was the Game Default section. I had everything else as I have a 55" LG OLED Thin Q Ai TV and it is absolutely wonderful, I can't wait to play God of War Ragnarok at my PS5s full potential!
@@WilliamUK. I don't know, my guess is that your TV and PS5 work together like mine does and they change the graphics to the best it possibly can because 60fps is a lot better than 30fps. Then again I'm not the best person to ask 😅
@@WilliamUK. That just means your display is at 60hz but doesn’t change what’s actually happening on the console. You can have a 144hz monitor but if your P.C. is only outputting 60 fps then you’ll only see 60 fps even though the monitor is capable of more. Since you have a C2 turn on VRR in PlayStation settings and then turn on AMD Freesync on the TV game mode settings. This will help smooth over frame drops
Not-so-obvious thing is that some TVs disables (unfortunately, sometimes silently!) gaming/low input-lag mode when used with BT headphones. I'd recommend either getting BT dongle for PS5 directly or sticking to cable/gamepad connection.
I've had my ps5 since release and the lg cx65 .System hasn't skipped a beat and runs pretty quite. Extra cooling would be nice lol my room turns into an oven after like 3 hours of gaming .
The latency lag is due to not having enough storage left to play your games, I noticed with my PlayStation 5 I have to have at least 150 GB free on the main storage device to have no lags in my games
@Leo ಠ_ಠ How does it not make sense? The fuller a drive becomes, the slower it'll be, especially with SMR HDDs. Luckily, the PS5 comes with an SSD, which are usually more durable.
@@UltimateGrabber bullshit, the hard drive has nothing to do with that, it's all about the ram for game performance. once the game is loaded, your ps5 doesn't use the ssd for anything. if you have multiple apps open and are playing games, that will affect your performance because it takes more ram to run multiple apps. load times may be slower with a loaded ssd but that doesn't hurt in game performance.
Great video as always sir. But the issue with VRR is the ps5 console it self. Alot of high end gaming monitors support VRR, its the ps5 that is very picky if you are able to enable it or not. I have a LG 32GQ850-B and a LG 32GQ950-B, both have HDMI 2.1 inputs, and you still cannot enable VRR on these monitors. On PC no issues as you should know. Just my 2 cents.
@@kojicesmikurac Hard to believe PS5 still doesn't support 1440p properly and especially VRR at that resolution. I was told the Xbox Series X does support it.
@@JCTiggs1 Well PS5 didnt support 1440p for the first 2 years since launch. It will get there some day😂 But hey PS5 had 120Hz on Warzone Caldera, while XBOX was stuck at 60Hz for a full year🤪
HDMI 2.1 Samsung on Game mode and I get 120 fps on all the games that let me. It’s honestly the best thing about the PS5 so far. Warzone feels SO good.
Hey John awesome content but I have a question I already play on the game preset for my Sony X900h but when I go into hdmi Input settings for my 2.1 hdmi connection signal format should I select VRR or 4K enhanced format?
@@muratcanks3866 thank You but if you have better image quality that means you’re frame rates are lower but it’s better to just have better image quality over VRR
As the other reply already stated the trade-offs with enabling vrr on the x900h are not worth it. Bummed me out when I first enabled vrr after the update and things looked crappier
Your editing of the PS5’s system screens makes it very difficult to find the locations for the settings you’re showing, it may look cool but it’s not helpful bro.
I highly recommend the Samsung G70A. Definitely one of the best monitors for the PS5. Bought it for $800. It is currently on sale $500-$580. Highly recommend it. Pretty damn sexy too. (Make sure to get the G70A unit because there are different versions of Samsung G7. The G70 support hdmi 2.1 , 4k 144hz )
I use my PS5 controller wirelessly, becasue my LG C1 OLED input lag is 5.4 ms on 120hz, which makes my reaction feel super-fast when playing games like COD.
Switching out my HDMI cable actually worked. I was also getting a strange line down my TV in the left side of the panel. I wonder if it was faulty. It was the one that came with the console. Anyhow, problem solved. Cheers!
Man, even if my Samsung is only from 2021, it doesn’t support VRR apparently. But I’ll try getting my hands on the PowerA cable, and see if that helps.
ive been on ps5 for some time and I will tell you the thing that really give us latency is the apps you have installed. I'm not talking about running in the background but buy simply having youtube especially or any other app installed u will experience slight latency I've been back and forward installing and uninstalling just to make sure I wasn't crazy and yes I'm not crazy so whatever is going on those apps have some type of code running in the background even if the app it self isn't running in the background.

Most games now-a-days you pretty much have to spend a solid 10 minutes dedicated to customizing your controls with 2-10 further tweaks down the line.
For example, I couldn’t get my DEAD SPACE settings quite right, then realized I prefer XY Aim sensitivity maxed to 100, with Stick Sensitivity set to basically 0. Controls feel so smooth now. Took a good 20 mins to realize this. And that’s just trial and error to get the controls right.
Prayers to the casuals who have no idea what dead zones and stuff are lol.
Also use cat 8 lan cables and don't forget, all TV's and monitors are able to have their settings messed with to get more sharp or color to the look
Use CAT8 network cables - stop talking crap. They won't offer you anything a CAT5e cannot.
Over the standard
My Sony TV doesn't allow HDR and VRR together so I choose HDR naturally. HDR/4K/60fps is the goal this gen.
Works perfect very useful and I use the same hdmi cable cheers
Hey, do you know if these cables would work for Amazon fire TV 4K? The TV itself only goes up to 60HZ. Would these cables make a difference? I guess my question is essentially will this make a difference on any TV that only goes to 60HZ? With 4K?
Thats what im trying to figure out as well
So i just figured out that on my Sony X900H when you use VRR it disables local zones for HDR.... Which one do you think is more beneficial to have on? or is it on a game by game basis? What % of games have a noticeable difference with VRR vs how many with local zones for HDR?
Where is the "Game Default Settings" at?! I can't find it anywhere?
I agree with the benefits of a modern TV and using an HDMI 2.1 rated cable; however that sony cable is assuredly overpriced vs what you can buy from Infinite Cables or Monoprice.
That said, good stuff.
So you recommended not buying the Sony hdmi cable ?
@@MMA_Cholo if you like paying for the name go for it but you can buy cheeper cables that will provide the exact same experience.
I see in your videos many great tech stuff. Maybe you will make a video about your setup ?
As an Xbox and PC player who is still really happy with my PS5….there is so much you have to do just to get a “next gen” experience. Good upload.
It has been the worst exercise ever.. customer support is worse then Nintendo's. Controllers cost way too much and the extra features are barely implemented in the very few exclusive games.
Anything you want besides the basic "put disc in and play" costs extra.
Sony is the most anti consumer company right after Apple.
@@SubjektDelta Its not just sony lil bro. Its businesses in general because this is how money is made. Sony is and will always be 10x the company xbox is and that's coming from an xbox user. 8 years from the original box launch they barely changed the UI and added absolutely nothing to the next gen controller. On top of that the elite controllers don't even last 6 months despite the complaints. I cant wait to go back to PlayStation
@@GaveMeStyle7 so you shit on xbox cause the UI didnt change and the controller why change if its perfect i have the elite controllers and the regular on the daily its been years and gamepass is def better in the future even now its effing great it really is just depends on the person theres a lot of good stuff on gamepass and xbox has a lot of exclusives coming.
My go to channel for anything PS5 related and it ain’t even close!
Thank you, I'm learning new things about my PS5 from this video, I had no idea that there was the Game Default section. I had everything else as I have a 55" LG OLED Thin Q Ai TV and it is absolutely wonderful, I can't wait to play God of War Ragnarok at my PS5s full potential!
I have got 55 inch LG C2 and when the games in quality mode which is 4K/30fps (PS5), the game optimizer menu shows 60fps. Whats that mean?
@@WilliamUK. I don't know, my guess is that your TV and PS5 work together like mine does and they change the graphics to the best it possibly can because 60fps is a lot better than 30fps. Then again I'm not the best person to ask 😅
@@WilliamUK. That just means your display is at 60hz but doesn’t change what’s actually happening on the console. You can have a 144hz monitor but if your P.C. is only outputting 60 fps then you’ll only see 60 fps even though the monitor is capable of more.
Since you have a C2 turn on VRR in PlayStation settings and then turn on AMD Freesync on the TV game mode settings. This will help smooth over frame drops
Anybody remember when a 3 foot monster hdmi cable was 100 bucks lol? Crazy times back in 06-07 lol
Great tips , massive inspiration to us smaller creators 👍👍
@John Glasscock Do you have a link to the USB cable you were using to connect your controller too?
I will keep that in mind once I purchased a PS5 and a 120hz TV
I always like concise, up to the point and informative videos. Thank you very much sir.
Not-so-obvious thing is that some TVs disables (unfortunately, sometimes silently!) gaming/low input-lag mode when used with BT headphones. I'd recommend either getting BT dongle for PS5 directly or sticking to cable/gamepad connection.
Another straightforward & helpful upload! Thank you!

I've had my ps5 since release and the lg cx65 .System hasn't skipped a beat and runs pretty quite. Extra cooling would be nice lol my room turns into an oven after like 3 hours of gaming .
How did you get those analog sticks on the controller?
That's the Scuf PS5 Controller, it's a 3rd party controller
he got it for free
You can use 120 hz on a 2.0 hdmi monitor, I don’t know about that with 4k and 1440p but 1080p it works
1440p works at 120hz too
The latency lag is due to not having enough storage left to play your games, I noticed with my PlayStation 5 I have to have at least 150 GB free on the main storage device to have no lags in my games
that doesn't even make any sense lol
@Leo ಠ_ಠ How does it not make sense? The fuller a drive becomes, the slower it'll be, especially with SMR HDDs. Luckily, the PS5 comes with an SSD, which are usually more durable.
@@UltimateGrabber bullshit, the hard drive has nothing to do with that, it's all about the ram for game performance. once the game is loaded, your ps5 doesn't use the ssd for anything. if you have multiple apps open and are playing games, that will affect your performance because it takes more ram to run multiple apps. load times may be slower with a loaded ssd but that doesn't hurt in game performance.
@@mrbubblebuns3994 based
Jesus this whole comment section is a disaster 😂
Can you use this cable for the Series X ? Or just PS5
Great video as always sir. But the issue with VRR is the ps5 console it self. Alot of high end gaming monitors support VRR, its the ps5 that is very picky if you are able to enable it or not.
I have a LG 32GQ850-B and a LG 32GQ950-B, both have HDMI 2.1 inputs, and you still cannot enable VRR on these monitors. On PC no issues as you should know.
Just my 2 cents.
Ps5 doesnt support VRR om 1440p resolution. Thats probably why
@@kojicesmikurac I have both 2k and 4k monitors, and it will not work with the 4k montior.
@@kojicesmikurac Hard to believe PS5 still doesn't support 1440p properly and especially VRR at that resolution. I was told the Xbox Series X does support it.
@@JCTiggs1 Well PS5 didnt support 1440p for the first 2 years since launch. It will get there some day😂
But hey PS5 had 120Hz on Warzone Caldera, while XBOX was stuck at 60Hz for a full year🤪
@@kojicesmikurac naahhhh xbox had 120fps first in warzone they never showed it in the patch notes
I don’t even have a ps5 yet I just love John vids though so straight forward
Love your content man. Always keep me updated on how to get the most out of my #PS5
Where could you find this card at
PS5 Guru 🙇
HDMI 2.1 Samsung on Game mode and I get 120 fps on all the games that let me. It’s honestly the best thing about the PS5 so far. Warzone feels SO good.
So is the base HDMI cable I receive with the PS5 enough to get the best performance or do I have to change it to a better cable?
@@serero2114 The cable that comes with it is just fine
Love your ps5 advice man, no clickbait just genuine easy to watch content. Keep it up!
“No clickbait”
You clearly haven’t seen this guys videos.
Grabbed a pack of monster cables they work amazingly as well
Hey John awesome content but I have a question I already play on the game preset for my Sony X900h but when I go into hdmi Input settings for my 2.1 hdmi connection signal format should I select VRR or 4K enhanced format?
When you enable VRR on x90h it disables Local Dimming. The framerate increase not worth the major decrease on image quality.
@@muratcanks3866 so select VRR instead of enhanced format?
@@markvanwinckle8788 no, select the enchanced if you want better image quality :)
@@muratcanks3866 thank
You but if you have better image quality that means you’re frame rates are lower but it’s better to just have better image quality over VRR
As the other reply already stated the trade-offs with enabling vrr on the x900h are not worth it. Bummed me out when I first enabled vrr after the update and things looked crappier
Also move your modem away from. Ps5. Was having input delays with controller. Was a quick and effective fix
'Get better TV' lol
Do not pay $40 for that hdmi cable. I got a 10ft 8k 60z/4k 120hz hdmi 2.1 on amazon (Snowkids brand) for $10.99. Works perfect
Your editing of the PS5’s system screens makes it very difficult to find the locations for the settings you’re showing, it may look cool but it’s not helpful bro.
I agree this channel isn’t good.
My wife bought a new 65” last Christmas. I was so excited, then saw it didn’t have 2.1😂 still thrilled with it though!
I highly recommend the Samsung G70A. Definitely one of the best monitors for the PS5. Bought it for $800. It is currently on sale $500-$580. Highly recommend it. Pretty damn sexy too. (Make sure to get the G70A unit because there are different versions of Samsung G7. The G70 support hdmi 2.1 , 4k 144hz )
@Aces PAUSE MY GUY
@Aces It’s a monitor not a TV..
I used to get Samsungs but not anymore. I have much better experiences with LG screens. Lifespan seems much better from my experiences.
Cables are a great tip. Especially with controller input delay.
My God that looks incredible 🤟🤟🏿🤟🏻
What does?
@@wrenboy2726 u know the thing that I can charge my controller like 1 hour and of course if it's affordable
I use my PS5 controller wirelessly, becasue my LG C1 OLED input lag is 5.4 ms on 120hz, which makes my reaction feel super-fast when playing games like COD.
you dont need $60 hdmi cables this youtuber is a grifter
You should use Game Mode in 120 hz painel tvs as well, once tone mapping HGIG is going to give you more accurate picture.
Not a lot of games run at 4k 120fps 😂 😂
Exactly. It was a big market ploy. "It has 4k 120hz capabilities but you can't use it!" 😄
What type of monitor are you using for the ps5 in this video it looks great cause right now I want to buy a monitor
got that hdmi cable coming along with a Xbox Series X
Good choice 👍
Switching out my HDMI cable actually worked. I was also getting a strange line down my TV in the left side of the panel. I wonder if it was faulty. It was the one that came with the console. Anyhow, problem solved. Cheers!
Where did that HDMI cable come from? What control is that? Do I have a different ps5?
Check the specs of the cable. Simple. Check your TV or display for compatibility features that you want.
For clarification: the included cable is HDMI 2.1. The video doesn't make this 100% clear.
Man, even if my Samsung is only from 2021, it doesn’t support VRR apparently. But I’ll try getting my hands on the PowerA cable, and see if that helps.
Is there a way to adjust stick dead zone on console itself? My stick is drifting when playing steel rising. 😢😢😢
2:20 Bluetooth should actually be faster than wired or the same at the very least.
It’s faster actually
Please share link for controller skin and usb cable you used. Thanks. Subscribed today.
What TVs would you recommend? Mine is needing a replacement. Looking for 55 inch.
What relatively affordable monitors would you recommend with 4K 120HZ and 2.1 HDMI?
Gotta say just got this acer nitro 1440 180hz it’s made a big difference
Does the 10’ HDMI 2.1 cable hurt the performance due to the length of the cord???
Great video, but what got my interest is that slick controller... Can we get a link to it?
John Glasscock is the goat when it comes to anything about playstation
ive been on ps5 for some time and I will tell you the thing that really give us latency is the apps you have installed. I'm not talking about running in the background but buy simply having youtube especially or any other app installed u will experience slight latency I've been back and forward installing and uninstalling just to make sure I wasn't crazy and yes I'm not crazy so whatever is going on those apps have some type of code running in the background even if the app it self isn't running in the background.
it was the year 123fourrrninethousand one chose to finally give up on oppressing one others HDMI cable for not being 4k able. he cried and gave the guy next to me a kiss...
I want to know where you got that all white PS5 controller? That thing looks sick.
Scuff
$60 for HDMI is nuts. I remember when I friend worked at Best Buy and he'd buy Monster cables at cost and I learned what a rip off cables are.
The hdmi cable you bought, is it better than the one that came with ps5.
I have a huge question with that hdmi cable would I plug it into my ps5 and then my elgato?? Or would I have to buy two of them
X85J can't do 4k 120. You needed the x90j to get it to not double the vertical resolution
