If you 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 and 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 to consider when looking for a new gaming display.
Firstly, the PS4 is limited to a 60Hz refresh rate, but because monitors have higher refresh rates, you have to think about how a monitor performs at 60Hz, particularly with its response time and input lag. You also have to think about the resolution of the monitor, as the PS4 Pro supports a 4k resolution, and the original PS4 is limited to 1080p. If you get a monitor with a different resolution than your console, it would have to upscale or downscale the image. Besides that, 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. Lastly, you should also consider whether or not the monitor has an audio jack if you want to connect speakers or a soundbar to the monitor.
We've bought and tested over 375 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 1080p monitors.
Quick Look
We buy and test more than 30 monitors each year, with units that we buy completely on our own, without any cherry-picked units or samples. We put a lot into each unbiased, straight-to-the-point review, and there's a whole process from purchasing to publishing, involving multiple teams and people. We do more than just use the monitor for a week; we use specialized and custom tools to measure various aspects with objective data-based results. We also consider multiple factors before making any recommendations, including the monitor's cost, its performance against the competition, and whether or not it's easy to find.

Best Gaming Monitor For PS4
Console Gaming9.0CAD @ 60Hz9.9HDR Picture9.3SDR Picture10Brightness6.7Color Accuracy8.4Size32"Pixel TypeQD-OLEDMax Refresh Rate120 HzNative Resolution3840 x 21604k @ 60HzYes1080p @ 60HzYesSee all our test results3.5mm Audio OutNoThe best monitor for PS4 that we've tested is the Dell S3225QC. It delivers both remarkable picture quality and gaming performance. Its 4k QD-OLED panel has a near-instantaneous response time, so motion looks incredibly sharp, and it has low input lag at any refresh rate. Although its 120Hz refresh rate is too high for gaming on the PS4 or PS4 Pro, this is representative of the gaming market, where the best options have higher refresh rates. At least this is something you can use if you want to eventually upgrade to the PS5 or PS5 Pro as it supports HDMI 2.1 bandwidth.
Besides its fantastic gaming performance, it offers incredible picture quality with deep blacks in dark rooms and bright highlights, and colors also look vivid in HDR. However, it performs best in dark rooms because ambient light in bright rooms causes the black levels to rise, making them look purple, but that's the downside of using a QD-OLED.

Best Mid-Range Gaming Monitor For PS4
Console Gaming8.5CAD @ 60Hz7.6HDR Picture6.8SDR Picture7.1Brightness8.7Color Accuracy8.5Size27"Pixel TypeIPSMax Refresh Rate320 HzNative Resolution3840 x 21604k @ 60HzYes1080p @ 60HzYesSee all our test results3.5mm Audio OutYesIf you find that the Dell S3225QC is too expensive for your budget or you can't find it on sale, consider the lower-end and more affordable Acer Nitro XV275K P5biipruzx. The main difference between this and the Dell is that it lacks an OLED panel with the same deep, inky blacks, and it also displays colors less vividly. This means it's worse for HDR gaming, but it's still decent in HDR, thanks to a Mini LED local dimming feature that helps improve its black levels. However, it does exhibit haloing around bright objects. You can't use this local dimming in SDR, though, so the picture quality is worse in SDR. On the plus side, it gets much brighter than the Dell, so it fights glare well.
Even though this monitor is designed for full compatibility with the PS5 thanks to its HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, it's still great to use with the PS4, especially if you have the PS4 Pro. Its 4k resolution helps deliver detailed images, and it has lower input lag at 60Hz than the Dell, leading to a responsive feel. It also has decent motion handling at 60Hz, but there's some blur with fast-moving objects.

Best Budget Gaming Monitor For PS4
Console Gaming7.4CAD @ 60Hz8.2HDR Picture8.0SDR Picture8.2Brightness8.3Color Accuracy8.8Size27"Pixel TypeVAMax Refresh Rate180 HzNative Resolution2560 x 14404k @ 60HzYes1080p @ 60HzYesSee all our test results3.5mm Audio OutYesIf you're looking for the best gaming monitor for PS4 on a budget, the AOC Q27G3XMN is a fantastic option. The main difference with the Acer Nitro XV275K P5biipruzx is that it has a lower 1440p resolution, so images aren't as detailed. This also means 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 also has a fast response time at 60Hz, but it has smearing and inverse ghosting behind fast-moving objects.
However, what makes this better than other budget-friendly monitors is that it features Mini LED backlighting and has a good local dimming feature, similar to the Acer. This means it displays deep blacks, which is great for gaming in dark rooms, and it also really makes highlights pop in HDR. You can also use this local dimming feature in SDR, so it has better picture quality than the Acer. You can also check out the similar AOC Q27G40XMN if you want something that gets brighter and has better local dimming, but it has worse motion handling.

Best Cheap Gaming Monitor For PS4

It's a downgrade in overall performance compared to the AOC Q27G3XMN because it lacks Mini LED backlighting and has worse picture quality with blacks that look gray and muted highlights. It also has worse motion handling than the AOC, as there's blur behind fast-moving objects, which is something to consider if you play action games.
What gives this monitor good value for gaming against other entry-level displays is its features. It supports any signal from a PS4 or PS4 Pro, and its HDMI 2.1 bandwidth is useful if you want to eventually upgrade to the PS5. It also has a higher 4k resolution than the AOC, leading to detailed images with a PS4 Pro. However, if you need a simple 1080p gaming monitor for a PS4, the LG 24GS65F-B is also a great choice, but it has a smaller screen than the Dell.

The MSI G274QPF-QD is a cheap gaming monitor that's an alternative to the Dell S2725QS if you want something with better motion handling.
