When looking for the best gaming monitor for PS5 or PS5 Pro, it's beneficial to get something that can take full advantage of the console and its features, like HDMI 2.1 bandwidth and HDMI Forum VRR support. While 4k monitors deliver the most details, you can also get a 1080p or 1440p monitor, as the PS5 supports any of those resolutions. On top of those, the PS5 Pro also supports an 8k resolution, but there aren't any 8k monitors available. A monitor's size is another consideration, but that's a personal preference. Keep in mind that the console doesn't support ultrawide signals, so you'll see black bars on the sides of ultrawide monitors.
Besides compatibility, we also test for multiple factors that impact your gaming experience as part of our extensive testing, which includes thousands of measurements. For example, a fast response time is important if you want minimal blur behind fast-moving objects. You should also consider the monitor's input lag, but most have low enough input lag anyway. Good picture quality also improves your gaming experience, so you'll want something with deep blacks, bright highlights, and vivid colors.
Another thing to consider is whether the monitor has an audio output if you want to connect speakers. While most monitors have one, you'd have to consider alternate connections for monitors that don't, like connecting directly to the controller or using an HDMI audio extractor.
We've bought and tested more than 360 monitors, and below are our recommendations for the best gaming monitors for PS5 that you can buy. Also, see our recommendations for the best monitors for the Nintendo Switch 2, the best gaming monitors for PS4, and the best 120Hz monitors. If you want more than just a monitor, then check out the best TVs for PS5/PS5 Pro and the best PS5/PS5 Pro headsets.
The best monitor for PS5 that we've tested is the ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG27UCDM. It's a high-end 4k, 27-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 in dark rooms, though deep blacks look purple in bright rooms. If you'd prefer a monitor that displays fairly deep blacks in bright rooms, take a look at the larger LG 32GS95UE-B. However, its colors are less vivid, and it doesn't get as bright in SDR.
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 ASUS ROG Strix OLED XG27ACDNG is a great alternative. It's different from the ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG27UCDM 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 @ 120Hz signals.
However, it's otherwise very similar, as the PG27UCDM also has a QD-OLED panel. This means it has a near-instantaneous response time, resulting in extremely sharp motion. It also has vivid colors and displays deep blacks in dark rooms. However, it makes deep blacks look purple in bright rooms. If you'd prefer a monitor that displays fairly deep blacks even in bright rooms and gets 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 ASUS ROG Strix OLED XG27ACDNG and the ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG27UCDM 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 drop in performance and 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 XG27ACDNG, 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-instantaneous 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. 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 @ 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. If you don't mind a bit of extra blur with fast-moving objects, and you'd prefer better local dimming performance and a brighter display, check out the similar AOC Q27G40XMN.
The Sony INZONE M9 II is a mid-range 4k gaming monitor that has unique 'Made for PS5' features, like Auto HDR Tone Mapping. It's a good choice if you want such features, and it has better picture quality than the LG 32GR93U-B. However, it also costs more than the LG.
See our reviewThe Dell Alienware AW2725Q is a premium gaming monitor that competes with the ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG27UCDM. It performs similarly as it's also a QD-OLED, but it doesn't get as bright.
See our reviewThe Acer Nitro XV275K P3biipruzx is a mid-range 4k monitor in the same price range as the LG 32GR93U-B. Thanks to its Mini LED backlighting, it offers better picture quality. However, the main downside of using it for console gaming is that it has increased input lag with 60Hz signals.
