When looking for the best gaming monitor for PS5 or PS5 Pro, it's beneficial to get something that can take full advantage of the console's features, like HDMI 2.1 bandwidth and HDMI Forum VRR support. While 4k monitors deliver the most details, the PS5 also supports 1080p and 1440p signals. On top of that, the PS5 Pro supports 8k, but the bigger advantage of gaming with a PS5 Pro is its superior processing power, so it can reach 4k @ 120Hz signals more easily than the PS5.
Besides compatibility, there are a few factors to consider in a gaming monitor. For example, a fast response time is important if you want minimal blur behind fast-moving objects. You should also consider the monitor's input lag for a responsive feel, but most have low enough input lag anyway. Good picture quality, particularly in HDR, improves your gaming experience, so you'll want something with deep blacks, bright highlights, and vivid colors. A monitor's size is also a personal preference, but keep in mind that the console doesn't support ultrawide signals.
We've bought and tested more than 375 monitors, and below are our recommendations for the best gaming monitors for PS5, including the best PS5 Pro gaming monitor, that you can buy. Also, see our recommendations for the best monitors for the Nintendo Switch 2 and the best 120Hz monitors. If you want more than just a monitor, then check out the best TVs for PS5/PS5 Pro and the best PS5/PS5 Pro headsets.
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 Monitor For PS5 And PS5 Pro
Console Gaming9.4PS5 Compatibility10CAD @ 120Hz9.9HDR Picture9.4SDR Picture10Brightness7.2Size27"Panel TypeQD-OLEDMax Refresh Rate240 HzNative Resolution3840 x 21604k @ 120HzYes4k @ 60HzYesSee all our test results1440p @ 120HzYesThe best monitor for PS5 and PS5 Pro that we've tested is the ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG27UCDM. It's a high-end 4k, 27-inch monitor that's superb for gaming. While the monitor's max 240Hz refresh rate is too high to use with the PS5 or PS5 Pro, it still supports any signal, including 4k @ 120Hz, thanks to its HDMI 2.1 bandwidth. This high refresh rate is also beneficial if you want to connect your gaming PC on the side. Additionally, it features a near-instantaneous response time, providing crystal-clear motion even with fast-moving objects.
Besides its high-end performance for console gaming, it also delivers premium picture quality thanks to its QD-OLED panel. HDR games look fantastic, with rich, vivid colors. The monitor has near-infinite contrast, displaying deep blacks alongside bright highlights in dark rooms, although deep blacks appear purple in bright rooms. If you game in a bright room and you want an OLED that maintains low black levels, look into the ASUS ROG Strix OLED XG32UCWMG. It has a 4k WOLED display with fantastic performance and a glossy coating, but colors aren't as vivid as on the PG27UCDM.

Best Upper Mid-Range Monitor For PS5 And PS5 Pro

It's actually very similar to the ASUS because it's another 4k QD-OLED with the same outstanding picture quality. This means you get deep, inky blacks in dark rooms and bright highlights that pop in HDR. It's also fantastic for gaming thanks to its near-instantaneous response time for sharp motion. It even has HDMI 2.1 bandwidth that takes full advantage of the PS5 and PS5 Pro.
That said, there are some trade-offs to consider when opting for this over the ASUS. It's less accurate in HDR, displaying most content dimmer than the game creator intended, while the ASUS is very accurate in this regard. The Dell doesn't get as bright, either, so considering its black level raise in bright rooms, it's best to use it in a dark room. Another difference is that the Dell has a lower 120Hz refresh rate. This is perfectly fine for gaming with a PS5 or PS5 Pro, but it limits its versatility if you want to use it for PC gaming.

Best Mid-Range Monitor For PS5 And PS5 Pro
Console Gaming8.5PS5 Compatibility10CAD @ 120Hz7.9HDR Picture6.8SDR Picture7.1Brightness8.7Size27"Panel TypeIPSMax Refresh Rate320 HzNative Resolution3840 x 21604k @ 120HzYes4k @ 60HzYesSee all our test results1440p @ 120HzYesWhile OLEDs like the Dell S3225QC and the ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG27UCDM offer the best gaming performance and picture quality, they're also expensive. If you want to save money, look into the Acer Nitro XV275K P5biipruzx, which is the best 4k monitor for PS5 in the mid-range price category. It's a drop in performance and picture quality from the OLED monitors because it has a low contrast ratio in SDR, and blacks look gray in dark rooms. However, it looks better in HDR than SDR because it has a Mini LED local dimming feature that deepens blacks, though it shows more haloing than the previously mentioned OLEDs.
On the plus side, the Acer has a high 4k resolution, delivering detailed images. It also has everything you'd expect to find in a gaming monitor, like HDMI 2.1 bandwidth. It supports all signals with a PS5 and PS5 Pro because of this. Even though it doesn't have a near-instantaneous response time like an OLED, motion still looks sharp at any refresh rate. Plus, it even gets brighter than the Dell and the ASUS, so it's the better choice to use in a well-lit room.

Best Budget Monitor For PS5 Pro

As the PS5 Pro has better processing than the standard PS5, it can reach 4k @ 120Hz signals better. With this, you'll benefit from getting a budget 4k monitor. If that's what you're interested in, the Dell S2725QS is a good choice. It's different from the Acer Nitro XV275K P5biipruzx because it's an office monitor with some gaming features. It has a 120Hz refresh rate and HDMI 2.1 bandwidth to take advantage of the PS5 Pro with 4k signals up to 120Hz.
However, it takes a step back from the Acer in a few performance areas. For example, fast-moving objects have a lot more blur. It also has worse HDR picture quality because it lacks a local dimming feature, so blacks look gray. However, considering you can't use the Acer's local dimming feature in SDR, both monitors have similar picture quality in SDR anyway.

Best Budget Monitor For PS5

So, if you're looking for the best PS5 monitor on a budget, check out the AOC Q27G3XMN. It's different from the Dell S2725QS because it has a 1440p resolution and lacks HDMI 2.1 bandwidth to take full advantage of the PS5, so it doesn't support HDMI Forum VRR to reduce screen tearing with the console. That said, this is what you have to expect from a low-cost monitor. You can still play games with a 1440p resolution up to 120Hz or downscaled 4k @ 60Hz.
It's better than the Dell in terms of picture quality because it features Mini LED backlighting and has a good local dimming feature, similar to the Acer Nitro XV275K P5biipruzx. This means it displays deep blacks next to bright highlights, which is great for HDR gaming. You can also use its local dimming in SDR for improved picture quality. In terms of gaming, it has a fast response time, but there's some smearing with fast-moving objects.

Best Cheap Monitor For PS5
Console Gaming6.1PS5 Compatibility4.9CAD @ 120Hz7.2HDR Picture4.9SDR Picture5.8Brightness7.1Size27"Pixel TypeIPSMax Refresh Rate170 HzNative Resolution2560 x 14404k @ 120HzNo4k @ 60HzYesSee all our test results1440p @ 120HzYesIf the AOC Q27G3XMN is still a bit expensive for you, check out the MSI G274QPF-QD as a cheap option. While it's another 27-inch, 1440p gaming monitor, the biggest difference between this and the AOC is how they perform in HDR. The MSI has a low contrast ratio, which makes blacks appear gray, and it lacks a local dimming feature to further enhance the black levels. Highlights don't pop in HDR because of this, and colors aren't as vivid, either.
On the plus side, this monitor performs well for gaming, as it supports 4k @ 60Hz and 1440p @ 120Hz signals with the PS5, like the AOC. It also has low input lag for a responsive feel. Additionally, while its motion handling is a bit worse than the AOC, it doesn't have any of the black smearing that the AOC has. That said, like the AOC, it doesn't support VRR with the PS5, so it doesn't reduce screen tearing with the console. You can check out the Dell S2725DC if you want something with VRR support, but it has worse motion handling than the MSI.
