Is 4K 120Hz on a new TV actually noticeable on PS5 if you're not doing ranked multiplayer?
I'm in Phoenix, got a PS5 Slim last fall and it's still hooked to a 2019 55" 4K 60Hz set in the living room. Works fine for Elden Ring and whatever, but every time I open a game settings menu I see the 120Hz mode grayed out and it bugs me more than it probably should.
My wife and I finally got a one-time budget around $950 for a replacement. The 4K 120Hz stuff is a few hundred more than the 60Hz models that look identical on the spec sticker at the store. I mostly play story RPGs, sometimes CoD with friends on weekends, but I'm not grinding ranked or anything.
Coworker swears I need 120 and VRR. He upgraded his apartment TV last year and keeps telling me to copy whatever he picked. I've only seen Netflix on it during lunch breaks, never actually played on his PS5 there, so I honestly dont know if he's justifying his purchase lol.
Also getting lost on HDMI 2.1 cables. Some say you need a fancy one for 4K120, others say cheap is fine if it's certified. My TV unit is shallow so the PS5 sits pretty close to the screen.
For people who went from 60Hz to 120Hz on PS5: did you notice it day one or only after going back? Do most games you play even offer a 120 mode, or is it like five titles? And is VRR the thing that actually saves the experience when a game can't hold 120?
