The 4 Best Gaming Monitors For PS4 - Fall 2024

Updated Nov 13, 2024 at 02:43 pm
Best Gaming Monitors For PS4

If you still have a PS4 and want to get a new monitor to game with it, there are plenty of great options to choose from. A monitor is a good alternative to buying a TV as they're smaller, so they're great choices if you're limited in space, and they usually cost less. Monitors also tend to have lower input lag than TVs for a more responsive feel. Although pretty much any monitor works with the PS4, there are a few things you have to consider when looking for a new display.

Firstly, the PS4 is limited to a 60Hz refresh rate, and gaming monitors have higher refresh rates. This means that you won't play games at the display's max refresh rate, so you'll have to consider how the monitor performs at 60Hz, in particular with its response time and input lag. The max resolution of the console also depends on which PS4 model you have, as the PS4 Pro supports a 4k resolution, and the original PS4 is limited to 1080p, so if you get a monitor with a higher resolution it would have to upscale the image. Lastly, the PS4 supports HDR, so getting a monitor that displays deep blacks with bright highlights and vivid colors makes for an impactful HDR gaming experience.

We've bought and tested over 335 monitors, and below, you'll find our top picks for the best monitors for both the PS4 and PS4 Pro. See our recommendations for the best 120Hz monitors, the best PS5/PS5 Pro monitors, and the best 4k gaming monitors.


  1. Best Gaming Monitor For PS4

    The best monitor for PS4 that we've tested is the Samsung Odyssey OLED G8/G80SD S32DG80. 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, which is ideal for playing games in HDR. It also performs well in bright rooms as its matte screen coating reduces glare well. It even has ARC support on one of its HDMI ports, which is great if you want to connect a soundbar, but it doesn't have a 3.5 mm audio jack, so you need to connect headphones directly to your controller. If you prefer a monitor with one, you can also check out the ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDM, but it tends to cost more and has a higher input lag at 60Hz.

  2. Best Mid-Range Gaming Monitor For PS4

    If you find that the Samsung Odyssey OLED G8/G80SD S32DG80 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 Samsung in terms of 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, despite its limited picture quality, 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.

  3. Best Budget Gaming Monitor For PS4

    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. Also, 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 smearing and even inverse ghosting behind fast-moving objects. However, what makes this better than other budget-friendly monitors is that it features Mini LED backlighting, and it 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. However, one thing to know is that it sometimes goes out of stock and is hard to find, so if that's the case, consider the Acer Nitro XV275U P3biipx. It's similar to the AOC as it has Mini LED backlighting, but motion looks worse.

  4. Best Cheap Gaming Monitor For PS4

    If you're looking for a cheap PS4 monitor, check out the Dell G2724D, which you can buy for a low cost directly from Dell's website. It has a 1440p resolution like the AOC Q27G3XMN, but the main difference is that it doesn't have Mini LED backlighting, so the picture quality is a lot worse. Blacks look gray in a dark room, and highlights don't pop for an impactful HDR experience, but that's what you have to expect for an entry-level gaming monitor.

    It's still good for console gaming as fast-moving objects look sharp, and unlike the AOC, it doesn't have smearing and ghosting with fast-moving objects. It also has wider viewing angles than the AOC, so it's the better choice if you want something for co-op gaming with a friend next to you. However, it doesn't have an audio output, so while you can still plug headphones into the PS4's controller, you can't plug speakers directly into the monitor for sound from your console.
