The 3 Best Gaming Monitors For PS4 - Spring 2025

The best monitor for PS4 that we've tested is the MSI MPG 321URX QD-OLED. It delivers both remarkable picture quality and gaming performance. Its 4k QD-OLED panel has a near-instant response time, so motion looks incredibly sharp, and it has low input lag regardless of the 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, which supports refresh rates up to 120Hz.

Besides its fantastic gaming performance, it offers incredible picture quality with deep blacks and bright highlights, and colors also look vivid in HDR. However, it performs best in dark rooms because ambient light causes the black levels to rise, making them look purple. Reflections can also look distracting if you have it in a really bright room, and if that bothers you, you can also check out the Samsung Odyssey OLED G80SD S32DG80. Its matte coating spreads light out more, so reflections aren't as distracting. However, it costs more than the MSI, and otherwise performs similarly.

If you find that the MSI MPG 321URX QD-OLED is too much out of your price range, or you don't need all of its features, check out a mid-range option like the LG 32GR93U-B. It's a big step down from the MSI regarding picture quality because it doesn't have a QD-OLED panel, so blacks aren't deep and inky, and highlights don't pop either, but that's the trade-off for getting something cheaper. You can consider the Acer Nitro XV275K P3biipruzx if you want something in the same price range with better picture quality, but it has high input lag at 60Hz, so it doesn't feel responsive with the PS4.

As for the LG, it still offers good gaming performance, as it has consistently low input lag at any refresh rate, and motion also looks sharp at 60Hz. Plus, it delivers detailed images thanks to its 4k resolution, which is great if you have the PS4 Pro. It even gets bright enough to fight glare and has great reflection handling, so it's a good choice if you want something for gaming in bright rooms.

If you're looking for the best gaming monitor for PS4 on a budget, the AOC Q27G3XMN is a fantastic option. It has a lower 1440p resolution than the LG 32GR93U-B, meaning that 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 worse motion handling with 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.
