The 4 Best Gaming Monitors For PS4 - Winter 2024 Reviews

Updated
Best Gaming Monitors For PS4

For gaming with your PS4, getting a monitor is a good alternative to spending more on a TV. This is because monitors tend to have lower input lag, are smaller, and usually cost less. While virtually any monitor works with the PS4, there are some things you have to consider about the console before looking for a display. For example, the console doesn't support frame rates higher than 60 fps, meaning you don't need a high refresh rate monitor for gaming with it, but most gaming monitors have higher refresh rates anyway. That said, getting a monitor that performs well at 60Hz helps provide the best gaming experience.

On top of that, only the PS4 Pro supports up to a 4k resolution, while the standard PS4 is limited to 1080p. While you don't need a high-resolution display, many great gaming monitors have at least a 1440p resolution, making them versatile for different uses or future-proof if you upgrade to the PS5. There are options available at different prices, so considering your budget and needs is a good place to start.

We've bought and tested over 300 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 budget and cheap gaming monitors, the best PS5 monitors, and the best 4k gaming monitors.


  1. Best Gaming Monitor For PS4

    The best monitor for PS4 that we've tested is the Sony INZONE M9. It's a premium model that performs very well for gaming, and while it's designed with the PS5 in mind, it still works without issue with the PS4. It has a 4k resolution that delivers a ton of detail if you have the PS4 Pro, and it also upscales 1080p signals, which is beneficial if you have the standard PS4. Its input lag remains low even at 60Hz, and the monitor also has a good response time at that refresh rate. There's a bit of motion blur, but overall, you won't have many issues with its motion handling.

    Its design shares elements with the PS5, and while that doesn't mean much if you have the PS4, it's at least a future-proof monitor if you want to eventually get the PS5. It also delivers good picture quality thanks to its okay local dimming feature and acceptable black uniformity, meaning it performs well if you want to game with it in a dark room. It even gets bright enough in HDR to make some highlights stand out, and colors look vivid.

  2. Best Mid-Range Gaming Monitor For PS4

    If you don't need such a premium monitor for your PS4 and prefer saving money but still want excellent gaming performance, check out the Gigabyte M27U. It's a 4k, 27-inch display like the Sony INZONE M9, but the main trade-off for getting something cheaper is that it has worse picture quality, especially in dark scenes. This is because it has a terrible local dimming feature and doesn't get as bright in HDR.

    Besides that, it still has everything you'd want in a gaming monitor with a great response time with 60Hz signals, even better than the Sony, resulting in minimal blur trail behind fast-moving objects. It also has a few extra gaming features that give you a competitive advantage, like virtual crosshairs that you can use to see opponents better in games. If you have the PS4 Pro, you won't have issues displaying 4k content on this monitor, and the high resolution delivers sharp detail and crisp images. If you find the 27-inch screen too small, consider the 32-inch Gigabyte M32U, which costs more but isn't an upgrade in performance.

  3. Best Lower Mid-Range Gaming Monitor For PS4

    If you don't think you'll get the PS5 anytime soon and don't need a 4k display, looking for a lower-resolution display in the lower mid-range price category is better. The LG 27GP850-B is a good option, which is also sold as the 27GP83B-B at different retailers. It has a lower 1440p resolution than the Gigabyte M27U, which means that images aren't as detailed, but that doesn't make a difference if you have the standard PS4 that only supports up to a 1080p resolution anyways. Even if you have the PS4 Pro, it can still downscale 4k signals, which are more detailed than upscaled 1080p signals, but it isn't future-proof as it doesn't support HDMI 2.1 bandwidth.

    Overall, it's an excellent gaming monitor with great motion handling at 60Hz, so there's minimal blur trail behind fast-moving objects. Its input lag doesn't increase at lower refresh rates, so gaming feels responsive. If you want a bigger screen, you can also find a larger 32-inch version, the LG 32GP850-B. However, images are less sharp with lower pixel density, and the monitor costs more.

  4. Best Budget Gaming Monitor For PS4

    If you're looking for the best gaming monitor for PS4 on a tight budget, check out the Dell G2724D. It has a 1440p resolution like the LG 27GP850-B/27GP83B-B, and it's a step down in terms of features, but it still offers excellent gaming performance. It's rather barebones in extra perks as it doesn't have a USB hub to charge your devices while gaming, and it doesn't even have an audio output to connect speakers or headphones like on the LG. You can consider the Gigabyte M27Q P if you want something with these features, but it has worse motion handling than the Dell.

    Speaking of which, the Dell has excellent motion handling at 60Hz, resulting in minimal motion blur. It can either downscale a 4k signal or upscale a 1080p signal, making it a great choice if you have the PS4 and PS4 Pro. Like the LG, it doesn't support HDMI 2.1 bandwidth either, so you might need to upgrade your monitor if you buy the PS5 in the future, but most low-cost monitors don't support HDMI 2.1 bandwidth anyways.

  • Dell Alienware AW2724DM: The Dell Alienware AW2724DM is comparable to the LG 27GP850-B/27GP83B-B as it has similar specs and is in the same price range but has slightly worse motion handling. It's still worth getting if you can find it for less. See our review
  • Acer Nitro XF243Y Pbmiiprx: The Acer Nitro XF243Y Pbmiiprx is a cheap gaming monitor with a 1080p resolution that costs less than the Dell G2724D, so it doesn't need to do any upscaling with the PS4, but it's hard to find. See our review
  • Gigabyte GS27QC: The Gigabyte GS27QC is cheaper than the Dell G2724D with the same 1440p resolution. It's a great gaming monitor but has worse motion handling. See our review
