Different monitor settings for PS4 than PC?

I just bought a Benq EW2750ZL from recommendation here, and will be using it purely for playing my PS4 on.

As usual I was planning on just taking the settings for it from one of the top review sites, in this case pcmonitors.info's review settings they found to be best, as a base.

However, I have been wondering whether it may be better to set one of them differently due to it being used for a PS4 rather than a PC?

Obviously the colour settings should be the same, but what about AMA, Blur Reduction,.. things like that. Any of these benefit in being set differently for 30fps gaming rather than 60/variable framerate of PC gaming?

Cheers.
 
Out of the three AMA settings available, the only usable setting is the default as massive undershoot or overshoot results from use of either of the other two settings.

As with all monitors/TVs, Super Resolution, Smart Focus and Dynamic Contrast are all just gimmicks that worsen reproduction accuracy so are best avoided.

Using the monitor settings recommended on the review site mentioned should give you the most neutral/natural display possible from any source which I guess is what you're after for accurate reproduction.

Don't forget to set the PS4 to output RGB in Full Range or you'll probably end up with raised blacks and desaturated whites, ie, a horrible contrast ratio more akin to TN or IPS and lose one of the major benefits of going AMVA+.

PS The framerate of a PS4 is also variable in many games. There is no guarantee of a constant 30 or 60 FPS always, so there's no magic bullet in terms of settings to compensate.
