The 5 Best Monitors For PS5/PS5 Pro - Winter 2025

The best monitor for PS5 that we've tested is the MSI MPG 321URX QD-OLED. It's a high-end 4k, 32-inch monitor that's incredible for gaming. While the monitor's max 240Hz refresh rate is too high to use with the PS5 or PS5 Pro, it still supports any signal, including 4k @ 120Hz, thanks to its HDMI 2.1 bandwidth. This high refresh rate is also beneficial if you want to connect your gaming PC on the side. On top of that, it has a near-instantaneous response time for crystal-clear motion with fast-moving objects.

Besides its high-end performance for console gaming, it also delivers premium picture quality thanks to its QD-OLED panel. HDR games look fantastic, with rich, vivid colors. The monitor has near-infinite contrast, displaying deep blacks next to bright highlights, and is fantastic for playing games in a dark room. It also gets bright enough to fight glare in most well-lit rooms, but reflections can be distracting in a really bright environment. If that bothers you, the Samsung Odyssey OLED G8/G80SD S32DG80 is another 4k QD-OLED whose matte screen coating does a better job at reducing glare from strong light sources. That said, it has a hazier image and tends to cost more than the MSI.

If you don't need the best 4k monitor for PS5 with premium features but still want something with fantastic gaming performance, then an upper mid-range option like the LG 27GS95QE-B is a great alternative. It's different from the MSI MPG 321URX QD-OLED in a few ways because it has a lower 1440p resolution. While this means images are less detailed, it still supports HDMI 2.1 bandwidth and can downscale 4k signals at 120Hz, which results in a more detailed image than a native 1440p signal.

It also has an OLED panel, so it has a near-instantaneous response time, resulting in extremely sharp motion. While it isn't a QD-OLED like the MSI, and colors aren't as vivid, it still displays deep blacks against bright highlights. It's also fine if you want to game with it in a bright room, but if you want an OLED that gets even brighter, look into the ASUS ROG Strix OLED XG27AQDMG instead. However, it lacks HDMI 2.1 bandwidth to take full advantage of the PS5 and PS5 Pro.

While OLEDs like the LG 27GS95QE-B and the MSI MPG 321URX QD-OLED offer the best gaming performance and picture quality, they're also expensive. If you want to save money, look into a mid-range monitor like the LG 32GR93U-B. It's a step down in picture quality from the OLED monitors because it has a low contrast ratio, and blacks look gray in dark rooms. It doesn't even have a local dimming feature to further improve the picture quality, but that's the trade-off for getting something cheaper.

That said, the 32GR93U-B has a higher 4k resolution than the 27GS95QE-B, delivering detailed images. It also has everything you'd expect to find in a gaming monitor, like HDMI 2.1 bandwidth. Even though it doesn't have a near-instant response time like an OLED, motion still looks sharp at any refresh rate. It's even a good choice if you want to use it in a well-lit room, as it gets brighter than the OLEDs and has great reflection handling. You can also check out the LG 27GR93U-B if you prefer a smaller 27-inch screen. It's a similar monitor that tends to cost less, but it has slightly worse motion handling.

If you're looking for the best PS5 monitor on a budget, check out the AOC Q27G3XMN. It's different from the LG 32GR93U-B because it has a 1440p resolution and lacks HDMI 2.1 bandwidth to take full advantage of the PS5, so it doesn't support HDMI Forum VRR to reduce screen tearing with the console either. That said, this is what you have to expect from a low-cost monitor, and you can still play games with a 1440p resolution up to 120Hz or downscaled 4k at 60Hz.

It's better than the LG and most other entry-level monitors in terms of picture quality because it features Mini LED backlighting and has a good local dimming feature. This means it displays deep blacks next to bright highlights, which is great for HDR gaming, and it also gets bright enough to fight glare in well-lit rooms. In terms of gaming, it has a fast response time, but there's some smearing with fast-moving objects. However, if you can't find it available in your region, the Acer Nitro XV275U P3biipx is a good alternative that also has Mini LED backlighting, but it has worse motion handling than the AOC.

Should you want a simple and cheap monitor, then the LG 27GP850-B/27GP83B-B is a good option. You can buy it in in two variants, with the 27GP850-B and 27GP83B-B being available at various retailers, and you should get whichever you can find for cheaper. There aren't any differences between them in terms of performance with the PS5 or PS5 Pro, but the 27GP850-B model has extra USB ports. Besides that, they don't have local dimming like the AOC Q27G3XMN, and blacks look gray next to bright highlights. This means they're much worse for HDR gaming, but that's what you have to expect for cheap monitors.

They have the same compatibility with the PS5 as the AOC, as they lack HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, but still support 1440p signals up to 120Hz, or a downscaled 4k signal at 60Hz. They also have sharp motion handling and less smearing than on the AOC. The 27GP850-B model even has a backlight strobing feature that you can use at 120Hz to reduce persistence blur, but it creates some image duplication.
