Best Gaming Monitors for PS5

Choosing the perfect monitor for your PS5 doesn’t have to feel like rocket science. At its core, you’ll want a screen that can handle the console’s fancy tricks—think smooth 4K gameplay at up to 120 Hz, support for features like VRR and ALLM, and HDR10 to make those bright highlights and deep shadows really pop. In practice, that usually means looking for at least one HDMI 2.1 port and a panel that plays nicely with HDR without crushing the dark scenes if you’re after only the best.

Beyond the port, pay attention to how responsive the display is—low input lag and quick pixel response times ensure your button presses translate instantly on screen. And if you see local dimming or a high peak brightness spec, that’s a good sign it can deliver punchy contrast for games with dramatic lighting. In today’s round-up, we’ve hand-picked some of the best gaming monitors for PS5 that are up for grabs. 

Best Gaming Monitors for PS5: Quick Comparison

Best Gaming Monitors for PS5: Top Picks 

LG UltraGear 27GL850-B

Quick Highlights

• 27″ QHD Nano IPS panel, 1 ms (GtG)
• 144 Hz via DisplayPort
• HDR10 support; no HDMI 2.1 (limiting PS5 to 4K @ 60 Hz or 1080p @ 120 Hz)
• Price – $270 – Buy Now

   

LG’s 27GL850-B is legendary for its punchy colors and speedy Nano IPS matrix. You get a wide 98 % DCI-P3 gamut, accurate out of the box, with crisp 2560×1440 resolution that looks razor-sharp in PC gaming and most PS5 titles (though the console will upscale or downscale since it doesn’t output 1440p)

Its two HDMI 2.0 ports cap out at 1440p @ 100 Hz or 1080p @ 120 Hz, so if you want full 4K @ 120 Hz—plus VRR/ALLM features—you’ll be stuck at 4K @ 60 Hz on HDMI. Still, for 1080p @ 120 Hz play or sharp HDR10 visuals at 4K @ 60 Hz, it’s a solid choice in a sleek, height-adjustable chassis.

Pros

• Excellent color accuracy and viewing angles
• Very low input lag via DP or HDMI
• Vibrant HDR10 performance on PS5’s 4K @ 60 Hz

Cons

• No HDMI 2.1—PS5 locked to 60 Hz at 4K
• QHD panel unsupported natively by PS5

ASUS ROG Strix XG27UCS

Quick Highlights

• 27″ 4K UHD Fast IPS, 160 Hz (OC)
• DisplayHDR 400 & G-SYNC Compatible
• 2× HDMI 2.1, 1× DP 1.4, USB-C w/ DP Alt Mode
• Price – $469 – Buy Now

   

ASUS’s XG27UCS nails the PS5 checklist: two HDMI 2.1 ports let you run 4K @ 120 Hz with VRR, ALLM, and full HDR10, while a DP 1.4 and USB-C port cover your PC and Mac. The Fast IPS panel delivers a snappy 1 ms response time, and with a factory-calibrated 130 % sRGB gamut, games and movies look vivid.

At 160 Hz (overclocked via DP) you can also push PC frame rates beyond the PS5’s 120 Hz cap. ASUS’s DisplayWidget software and onboard tripod socket let streamers tweak settings or even mount a webcam. It’s easily one of the most versatile 27″ monitors for anyone juggling consoles and PCs.

Pros

• Full PS5 feature set (4K @ 120 Hz, VRR, ALLM)
• USB-C + tripod mount for streaming flexibility
• Wide color coverage and low lag

Cons

• HDR400 is entry-level HDR
• Stand isn’t as premium as the panel

ASUS ROG Swift PG32UQX

Quick Highlights

• 32″ 4K mini-LED IPS, 144 Hz (DSC)
• G-SYNC Ultimate & DisplayHDR 1400
• 1× DP 1.4, 3× HDMI 2.0 (no HDMI 2.1)
• Price – $1820 – Buy Now

If money is no object, the PG32UQX’s 1 152-zone mini-LED backlight hits an astonishing 1400 nits peak for some of the deepest HDR you’ll ever see on a desktop monitor. True 10-bit colors, G-SYNC Ultimate, and DSC let PC users run 4K @ 144 Hz; sadly, there’s no HDMI 2.1, so your PS5 is stuck at 4K @ 60 Hz with standard HDR.

At 32″, this feels more like a near-TV than a desk display, making it sublime for cinematic single-player PS5 titles at 60 Hz. But competitive gamers chasing 120 Hz across PC and console may be better off with a native HDMI 2.1 panel.

Pros

• Unmatched HDR peak brightness and contrast
• Premium color accuracy and G-SYNC Ultimate
• Killer cinematic immersion on PS5

Cons

• No HDMI 2.1—PS5 limited to 60 Hz
• Very expensive and physically large

ASUS TUF 34″ Curved Gaming Monitor (VG34VQL1B)

Quick Highlights

• 34″ UWQHD (3440×1440) VA, 165 Hz
• FreeSync Premium & DisplayHDR 400
• 2× DP 1.4, 2× HDMI 2.0 (no HDMI 2.1)
• Price – $369 – Buy Now

The TUF VG34VQL1B delivers epic ultrawide immersion with its 1500R curvature and 21:9 aspect, perfect for PC multitasking. At 165 Hz and 1 ms ELMB, it’s a smooth panel—but on PS5 you’ll be letterboxing a 16:9 1080p or 4K signal, and with no HDMI 2.1, you’re capped at 1080p @ 120 Hz for fast-action games.

If you’re okay with a curved cockpit feel and don’t mind console output not filling the screen, the built-in USB hub, headphone hook, and tiltable stand make it a comfortable all-rounder.

Pros

• Immersive wide field of view for PC gaming
• Great contrast and colors for a VA panel
• Plenty of built-in USB ports

Cons

• No HDMI 2.1—PS5 limited to 1080p @ 120 Hz
• Doesn’t accept PS5’s native resolutions

LG UltraGear 34GS95QE

Quick Highlights

• 34″ OLED Curved (800R), WQHD 3440×1440 @ 240 Hz
• Perfect blacks & HDR10; 0.03 ms response
• 1× DP 1.4, 2× HDMI 2.1
• Price – $1300 – Buy Now

LG’s 34GS95QE is the only ultrawide on this list with HDMI 2.1, so you can run PS5 at 1080p @ 120 Hz or even feed it a 4K @ 120 Hz signal and have the monitor downscale. Its OLED panel delivers infinite contrast, ultra-fast pixel response, and an 800R curve that wraps you in the action.

True gamers will appreciate the 240 Hz overkill for PC e-sports, while console players get flawless HDR10 and VRR. If you don’t mind letterboxing 4K PS5 content to a 21:9 panel, this is hands-down the priciest yet most future-proof ultrawide you can buy.

Pros

• HDMI 2.1 support on an ultrawide OLED
• Stunning contrast and pixel speed
• High refresh for hybrid PC/console use

Cons

• PS5 can’t drive 3440×1440 natively
• Very expensive and niche form factor

Alienware AW2523HF

Quick Highlights

• 24.5″ FHD Fast IPS @ 360 Hz
• FreeSync Premium, very low input lag
• 1× DP 1.4, 2× HDMI 2.0 (no HDMI 2.1)
• Price – $339 – Buy Now 

This 360 Hz juggernaut is a PC esports mainstay thanks to its 0.5 ms response and sub-5 ms input lag—but as RTINGS notes, it’s “disappointing for console gaming” because it lacks HDMI 2.1 and caps out at 1080p.

If your PS5 needs only 1080p @ 120 Hz for shooters and you don’t care about VRR/ALLM, it’ll deliver super-smooth visuals—but for the full PS5 next-gen experience, look for a true HDMI 2.1 panel.

Pros

• Super-fast refresh for competitive PC titles
• Extremely low input lag
• Compact footprint

Cons

• No HDMI 2.1—console limited to 1080p
• No HDR or local dimming

Wrapping Up: Choose Your PS5 Champion

For pure PS5 performance—4K @ 120 Hz, VRR, ALLM, and HDR10—the ASUS ROG Strix XG27UCS (27″ 4K 160 Hz with HDMI 2.1) and LG 34GS95QE (34″ OLED ultrawide w/ HDMI 2.1) are your go-to picks. They tick every next-gen box, ensuring no feature is left on the table.

If space, budget, or PC focus matters more, the other models still shine—but do note, without HDMI 2.1 they’ll be limited to lower refresh or fewer console-centric features. Let me know if you’d like replacements for any non-HDMI 2.1 monitors—and we’ll find the perfect PS5-ready display for your setup.
