The 5 Best Gaming Monitors For PS4 - Black Friday 2020 Reviews

The best gaming monitor for PS4 that we've tested is the Acer Nitro XV273X. It's one of the best gaming monitors we've tested, it's well-built, and it offers good ergonomics, so you shouldn't have issues placing it in an ideal viewing position.

Even though 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 make a difference for even the most competitive gamers. 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. 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 has a limited 1080p resolution if you also want to use this 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 in the budget category that we've tested is the ASUS VG279Q. Well-built with outstanding ergonomics, it performs well overall and has great gaming performance that most people should be happy with.

It has a 1080p resolution that makes it ideal for your PS4. The input lag is incredibly low, and its response time at 60Hz is good. Even though it has a Black Frame Insertion feature, it only flickers at 85Hz or higher, so you may notice image duplication. Its IPS panel provides wide viewing angles, making it ideal for co-op gaming, and if you use it in a well-lit environment, it gets bright enough to combat glare and has good reflection handling. The out-of-the-box color accuracy is excellent, so you may not need to get it calibrated to enjoy it to the fullest.

Unfortunately, it doesn't have HDR support, which may be disappointing for some. Its contrast ratio is low, which is expected from an IPS panel, so blacks appear closer to gray. Fortunately, it has excellent gray uniformity and solid colors across the screen look great. All in all, this is a monitor that won't cost you much, and it's a great choice for PS4 gaming.
