If you have a PS4 and want to get a new monitor to game with it, there are plenty of great options to choose from. A monitor is a good alternative to buying a TV as they're smaller and usually cost less. Monitors also tend to have lower input lag than TVs for a more responsive feel. Although pretty much any monitor works with the PS4, there are a few things to consider when looking for a new display, which we test for as part of our extensive testing that includes thousands of measurements.
Firstly, the PS4 is limited to a 60Hz refresh rate, but because monitors have higher refresh rates, you have to think about how a monitor performs at 60Hz, particularly with its response time and input lag. You also have to think about the resolution of the monitor, as the PS4 Pro supports a 4k resolution, and the original PS4 is limited to 1080p. If you get a monitor with a different resolution than your console, it would have to upscale or downscale the image. Besides that, the PS4 supports HDR, so getting a monitor that displays deep blacks with bright highlights and vivid colors makes for an impactful HDR gaming experience. Lastly, you should also consider whether or not the monitor has an audio jack if you want to connect speakers or a soundbar, but most monitors have one.
We've bought and tested over 360 monitors, and below, you'll find our top picks for the best monitors for both the PS4 and PS4 Pro. See our recommendations for the best 120Hz monitors, the best PS5/PS5 Pro monitors, and the best 1080p monitors.
The best monitor for PS4 that we've tested is the ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG27UCDM. It delivers both remarkable picture quality and gaming performance. Its 4k QD-OLED panel has a near-instantaneous response time, so motion looks incredibly sharp, and it has low input lag at any refresh rate. Although its native 240Hz refresh rate may seem like overkill for gaming on the PS4 or PS4 Pro, this is representative of the gaming market, where the best options have high refresh rates. At least this is something you can use if you also have a gaming PC setup or if you want to eventually upgrade to the PS5.
Besides its fantastic gaming performance, it offers incredible picture quality with deep blacks in dark rooms and bright highlights, and colors also look vivid in HDR. However, it performs best in dark rooms because ambient light in bright rooms causes the black levels to rise, making them look purple, but that's the downside of using a QD-OLED. This monitor is also expensive, and you can consider the Dell Alienware AW2725Q if you want a similar monitor that costs less. That said, it isn't as bright as the ASUS.
If you find that the ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG27UCDM is too expensive for your budget, or you aren't going to take advantage of its premium features, then check out the lower-end and cheaper Sony INZONE M9 II. The main difference between this and the ASUS is that it doesn't have an OLED panel with the same deep and inky blacks, and it doesn't display colors as vividly as on the higher-end ASUS either. This means it's worse for HDR gaming—it's still decent in HDR as it has an okay local dimming feature that helps improve its contrast ratio, but it has blooming around bright objects. On the plus side, it gets much brighter than the ASUS, so some highlights pop in HDR, and it fights glare well.
Even though this monitor is designed for full compatibility with the PS5, it's still great to use with the PS4, especially if you have the PS4 Pro. Its 4k resolution helps deliver detailed images, and it has lower input lag at 60Hz than the ASUS, leading to a responsive feel. It also has decent motion handling at 60Hz, but there's some blur with fast-moving objects, which is to be expected for an LED monitor.
If the Sony INZONE M9 II is still out of your price range, then a mid-range option like the LG 32GR93U-B is a good alternative. It's a 4k display like the Sony, so it delivers the same detailed images with the PS4 Pro. However, the biggest trade-off as you step down in market categories is that it doesn't have any local dimming at all, so it's much worse for HDR than the Sony, and it's a bad choice for HDR gaming. Although it also gets bright, it isn't as bright as the Sony either, and reflections are distracting on it, so it's not something to consider if you have a really bright room.
Fortunately, it still offers good gaming performance, as it has consistently low input lag at any refresh rate, and motion also looks sharp at 60Hz. Its 32-inch screen also helps deliver a more immersive gaming experience than the 27-inch Sony. However, if you feel that a 32-inch screen would be too big for your needs, the similar LG 27GR93U-B is also a good choice as a 27-inch monitor. While it costs less than the 32GR93U-B, it also has worse motion handling at 60Hz.
If you're looking for the best gaming monitor for PS4 on a budget, the AOC Q27G3XMN is a fantastic option. The main difference with the LG 32GR93U-B is that it has a lower 1440p resolution, so images aren't as detailed. This also means it has to either upscale 1080p signals from the standard PS4 or downscale 4k signals from the PS4 Pro, but it's still a great option for gaming.
It has a fast response time at 60Hz, but it has smearing and inverse ghosting behind fast-moving objects. However, what makes this better than other budget-friendly monitors is that it features Mini LED backlighting and has a good local dimming feature. This means it displays deep blacks, which is great for gaming in dark rooms, and it also really makes highlights pop in HDR, so it has better picture quality than the LG. You can also check out the AOC Q27G40XMN if you want something that gets brighter and has a better local dimming feature. It's similar overall to the Q27G3XMN, but it has some bugs and has worse motion handling.
The ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDM is a premium monitor that's essentially a larger model of the ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG27UCDM. The bigger screen provides a more immersive gaming experience, but that also means it has lower pixel density with less sharp images.
See our reviewThe Acer Nitro XV275K P3biipruzx is a 4k Mini LED monitor that has better picture quality than the Sony INZONE M9 II. The Acer also costs less when it's on sale, so it's something to consider for HDR gaming. However, it has higher input lag at 60Hz, so it provides a less responsive feel.
See our reviewThe Gigabyte GS27QC is a cheap model that costs less than the AOC Q27G3XMN. It's something to consider if you're on a tight budget, but it has limited performance and can be harder to find.
