What Should I Know Before Buying a Gaming Monitor for Console Use?

I'm considering getting a monitor specifically for console gaming, like on a PlayStation, and I have a bunch of questions. Do I need to keep it updated? Since this is a monitor, does it need to be charged, and can I use a universal remote to turn it on or off? I know HDMI and AV converters can work with monitors, but how about coax cables? Also, do I require a keyboard to operate the monitor? If the monitor doesn't have built-in speakers, will I need to get some, and can I use the monitor without a computer tower?

No, you typically don't need to update a monitor at all. Most monitors donโ€™t have batteries, so you won't need to charge them either. They don't come with a remote unless they are smart monitors. For gaming, plug your console directly into the monitor via HDMI and you're good to go!
