Using a PC monitor with PS4

Hey!

I currently have this PC monitor - http://www.samsung.com/hk_en/consum...S27A750DS/XK?subsubtype=series-7-and-9-3d-led

Along with it I have an old 23" LCD so I Can use 2 monitors at once.

My question is, what will the PS4 look like on the 27"?

I understand it's HDMI, so will it look as good as a TV of the same size or is there something that will make it worse as it's a PC monitor?

I want to be able to hook PC and PS4 into it so I can switch between the 2. When I'm on PS4 I'll just use the 23" monitor as a single screen for PC.

It's 1920x1080, so the PS4 will output at native resolution. Should look great.

What will you be doing for audio?

Thanks. Just had it in my head that because it was a PC monitor it would look worse than a 1080p TV.

Has a headphone socket so will plug my PC speakers in. They're not great but should do the trick. Might invest in some new ones - had these ages!

Doesn't the PS4 have audio output on the controller so you can use earphones?

That could work too!

Was more worried about my sexy monitor not looking quite so sexy with my sexy PS4

I used my ageing 22" Samsung 226BW for my PS3 via a hdmi -> DVI convertor. Could not get on play FPS on my 42" Plasma in the lounge.

Looking for something a little larger say 24" for direct HDMI input and also native 1080p res. Mostly play FPS like BF4. I guess a TF panel with low input lag is my best option?

Any recommendations?
