The console is not silent - but in a real use case I can't hear it (late evening, low volume, games used - The last of us/Assasin Creed Odyssey/FIFA21). The drive is only audible during boot - it is checking the validity of the launch, then the drive quiets down. I wanted to wait for PS5 - it turned out that it was impossible to purchase at the start, there was also nothing special to play. I decided to take "for now" PS4 Slim, especially since in the country the TV was a completely ordinary 32 "Phillips. As a result, I took a 50" TV in a couple of weeks. If there were good offers on PS4 Pro, I would take it, but for 29with three excellent games and no brakes in FullHD, the slim is the right choice. I have not noticed any friezes, daubing on a 4K TV or any other minuses. PS5 in a year or two will be a logical purchase. Playing experience since the early 90s - Sega Mega Drive || and i486DX4-100 is our everything. I decided on the console for 5 years - the pandemic and the dacha did their job. Now I can understand the rave reviews of consolers and sonyboys.
