I already have a steam deck. But, I am thinking of getting a PS5 for the games that can’t run on the deck or would be better played on a console. Is this a silly idea? Redundant? I would have a steam deck and a pS5.

I would need to get a tv/monitor to go with the console.

I’m not in a position to get a PC or build one, hence, the steam deck.

      For a PC with Keyboard and mouse, I prefer a monitor.

      But for a PS5 with a controller, yes. But not just a TV, the whole thing TV + sofa + ideally good speakers (personally I prefer 2.0 monitors to keep it simpler)

      Some people use a console with a monitor, from a short distance. But I personally use it when I want to relax playing from the sofa on a big screen.

      The only issue here is that my wife was the main TV user before I got the PS5, so now I need to add another TV in the bedroom or something.
