I'm still tweaking my setup for launch week. Got a 27" 1440p monitor at my desk, nothing crazy, but I keep wondering if I should drag the PS5 to the living room for the 65" OLED. The HDR in the trailers looks so good, and I feel like the neon reflections off wet roads in Vice City might hit different on a big screen. Could be wrong though.

What's everyone else planning? Couch warriors with surround sound, desk jockeys with ultrawides, whatever. I'm especially curious if anyone's using a high refresh rate monitor and thinks it'll help spot weird physics interactions. Probably not, but Rockstar's engine always has those little quirks.

Post your battlestation pics or just describe it. I'll try not to judge the cable management too hard. Anyone else obsessing over whether their setup will change how they notice the small details?

Desk setup. Running a 27 inch 4K panel with decent color accuracy. I'm mostly watching for patrol patterns and how the new lighting hits cruiser liveries. OLED in the living room is tempting, but input lag matters when I'm testing pursuit breakpoints and evasion mechanics. Need to see if the AI holds the line.

Desk rig. 32 inch 4K with an audio mixer so I can keep game audio clean while I'm on voice. Footsteps and radio chatter matter more than pixel count when you're mapping a route.

Can't argue that. My living room OLED is strictly for replays. Real runs stay at the desk. Consistent lighting makes it easier to spot camera sweeps. HDR bloom on a big screen washes out shadows.

I keep a secondary monitor for maps and prep notes. Cable management is purely utilitarian. Zip ties and a power brick crammed behind the mount. It won't win contests.

I'm locking the setup two days before launch. No driver updates. No furniture moves. Stable rig, stable focus.
