The 5 Best Gaming Monitors For PS4 - Winter 2021 Reviews

The best gaming monitor for PS4 that we've tested is the Acer Nitro XV273 Xbmiiprzx. It's a versatile monitor that feels well-built and offers good ergonomics, so you shouldn't have issues placing it in an ideal viewing position. Its IPS panel makes it ideal for co-op gaming as it has wide viewing angles, and if you game in a bright room, it has great peak brightness and decent reflection handling.

Although you won't be able to take full advantage of this monitor's max 240Hz refresh rate when gaming on the PS4, it still has an outstanding response time when gaming at 60Hz, resulting in minimal motion blur. The input lag is extremely low, and even though it's slightly higher at 60Hz than some other monitors, it shouldn't be noticeable even for the most competitive gamers. It also has incredible out-of-the-box color accuracy, but this is something that may vary between units.

Unfortunately, it has a low contrast ratio, so blacks appear closer to gray when viewed in the dark. Even though it supports HDR10, it doesn't provide the best HDR experience because it can't display a wide color gamut. It's limited to a 1080p resolution if you also want to use the monitor for productivity, but this shouldn't be an issue if you're just using it to game with the PS4. Overall, most people should be happy with it, making it the best monitor for PS4 that we've tested.

The best monitor for PS4 Pro with a 4k resolution is the LG 27UK650-W. It's mainly designed for office use, but it offers good gaming performance, and the 4k resolution delivers a crisp image. However, it's not the best-built model out there, and it has fairly limited ergonomics as it doesn't have a swivel range.

It has a great response time, resulting in clear motion, but it doesn't have a Black Frame Insertion feature to clear up motion blur. Its input lag is also really low, ensuring your actions are registered quickly. It has great out-of-the-box color accuracy, so you won't need to get it calibrated if you're just playing PS4, and it has wide viewing angles, ideal for co-op gaming. If you game in a bright room, it gets bright enough to combat glare, and it has decent reflection handling. Also, it has two HDMI inputs and a DisplayPort input so that you can connect your PC and PS4 at the same time.

Unfortunately, it doesn't display deep blacks, which is expected from an IPS panel, so it's not suggested for dark room gaming. Even though it supports HDR10 and has incredible gradient handling, it doesn't display a wide color gamut and doesn't get very bright in that mode, so HDR content doesn't look all that different from SDR content. Regardless of these small issues, most people should be happy with it, making it the best gaming monitor for PS4 Pro that we've tested.

The best monitor for PS4 if you're on a budget is the ASUS VG279Q. It's an IPS monitor that delivers good picture quality and gaming performance at an affordable price, and its 1080p resolution is ideal for the PS4. On top of that, it has fantastic ergonomics with a wide swivel range, so you can adjust it to your ideal position.

It has a fast response time, even at 60Hz, and a low input lag, which makes for a responsive gaming experience. The IPS panel has wide viewing angles, so it's great for co-op gaming because you don't lose image accuracy when viewing it from the side. If you game in a bright room, it gets bright enough to combat glare in most lighting conditions and has good reflection handling. Additionally, while this can vary between units, the monitor we tested has excellent gray uniformity and amazing out-of-the-box color accuracy, so solid colors looks great and you likely don't need to calibrate the monitor to get the most out of it.

Unfortunately, it has a mediocre contrast ratio, despite being better than most IPS monitors. That means that blacks end up looking gray, so it's not the best monitor for dark room gaming. Sadly, it doesn't support HDR, which may disappoint some people. That said, it comes packed with extra features like built-in speakers and ASUS's GamePlus technology, which includes an on-screen FPS counter, timer, and crosshairs. All things considered, this is the best budget-friendly gaming monitor for PS4.
