I believe you, but I don't have a 1080p monitor.

Your 4K monitor will work too.

 

OT: I haven't tried this, but I prefer playing games which utilize the Gamepad with the Gamepad in hand. Will try with Pikmin.

 

Oh you mean that one that I don't have? Yea, i'm sure it will be fantastic lol

 

But seriously, how much better is it. Because I often encouter that problem when the TV is too far from the gamepad and my eyes have change depth perception in a split second which is annoying. I might just buy a monitor for this...


Having a monitor only one to two feet away is just nice in general. Its why browsing on the internet with a computer and smartphone screen is much better than on our TV several feet away. The only benefit of a TV is its huge size and letting many people in a living room view it. A monitor on your desk doesn't need to be big though if you 1-2 feet away from it. You'll probably see better details sitting closer to the action anyway.

And you can always use that monitor as your new PC one or a second extended screen for your laptop. You can also use it for other consoles too! However, for all consoles, you'll have to buy a cable that is HDMI in one end and a VGA/DVI at the other if the monitor lacks a hdmi port.

If the monitor you buy lacks speakers, and you don't want to use the headphone jack on the GamePad, you will need an audio receiver /sound system and speakers that can connect to the Wii U. If you have the old Wii AV cable, you can use that to connect to the sound system. I have an sound system from the 90s that worked perfectly with the Wii's audio AV wires, so finding those shouldn't be hard.
