An everchanging universe, the gaming world is one that’s constantly advancing. Meanwhile, however, so are our expectations. These days when it comes to gaming, we’re only looking for the very best.
Gaming is becoming incredibly cinematic with ultra-realistic graphics, dimensional storytelling and longer cutscenes. It’s only fitting that your set up optimises this for the best user experience.
Of course, the ideal set up would consist of a huge 4K screen and a pair of SteelSeries headphones. However, there are also other things that you can do to take gaming to the next level if the best 65-inch TV in the UK is just out of budget.
Things to consider when creating your gaming set up
Wanting to immerse yourself in gaming? Here are some of the game manual things that you can do to take your gaming to the
next level.
Visuals
The most important thing you’ll want to consider when you’re sorting out your set up is a high-quality television.
Ultra 4K and Ultra 8K HD televisions are the best of the best for gaming. These models have crystal clear definition, meaning you’ll see those minute details you might have otherwise missed.
LED, OLED and QLED televisions also have their benefits, with improved picture quality, colour saturation and contrast. These models will really take the graphics and colours in your game to another dimension.
Other things you’ll want to consider is the refresh rate, and size of your television screen. Generally, the higher the refresh rate, the smoother the experience. And unsurprisingly, the larger your television screen, the less restricted you’ll feel.
Audio
There’s a few things to look for when it comes to audio, whether these are built into your TV or they’re added extras to enhance the sound performance.
The first thing to look for is good quality speakers, as they can make all the difference when gaming. Even better, some televisions will have surround sound speakers for a truly immersive experience.
However, you can also buy speakers separately if your TV doesn’t offer the best sound. Surround sound, sound bars and headphones can be used as added accessories in order to get that crisp audio that you’re looking for.
Bonus: Comfort
While most of us have experienced a sore neck after a late-night gaming session, gaming doesn’t have to come with the aches and pains of a poor posture.
An ergonomically designed gaming chair that supports your neck and back is sure to enrich your gaming experience. Some gaming chairs even come with Bluetooth technology or built-in speakers so that you don’t have to worry about your TV audio.
Footrests, back massagers, and seat cushions are an added bit of kit that’ll make sure that you’re comfortable while you’re gaming into the early hours.
