Best monitors for PS5
The PS5 sends 4K at up to 120 Hz over HDMI 2.1, so a monitor with an HDMI 2.1 port gets the full resolution and frame rate the console can give. Every monitor here has one. The PS5 also runs 1440p at 120 Hz, and variable refresh rate (VRR) smooths out frame drops in games that support it.
Quick answer The MSI MPG 322UR QD-OLED X24 is our top pick, followed by the ASUS ROG PG27UCDM and LG UltraGear 45GX950A-B.

What to look for
Why HDMI 2.1 matters on PS5
HDMI 2.1 carries enough bandwidth for the PS5 to send 4K at 120 Hz and to use variable refresh rate. Over an older HDMI 2.0 port, 4K tops out at 60 Hz, so fast games lose smoothness. Every monitor on this list has an HDMI 2.1 port.
4K or 1440p?
A 4K monitor gives the sharpest picture and suits 27 to 32-inch screens. The PS5 also outputs 1440p at 120 Hz, so a 1440p monitor is a cheaper way to high frame rates; check that it accepts 1440p at 120 Hz over HDMI. The PS5 stops at 120 Hz, so 240 Hz screens add nothing on the console.
HDR and sound
The PS5 supports HDR, but monitors labelled HDR400 often look little different from standard. OLED and mini-LED monitors show HDR far better. Most monitors have weak speakers or none, so plan on headphones plugged into the controller or a pair of speakers.
How we picked
We compared 136 monitors with real Amazon listings and kept the 15 that meet all of this:
- HDMI 2.1 for 4K 120 Hz consoles
Every pick fits, so the order is about what to look at first. Models that independent reviewers recommend come first, the most often recommended at the top. The rest follow, best known and best liked first, with the newest model of a line ahead of older ones. No brand pays to be listed or placed higher. Prices change daily, so we never print one; Amazon shows today's price.

Questions
Is a monitor or a TV better for PS5?
A monitor suits a desk: it's smaller, sits closer and often has lower input lag. A TV suits the sofa and usually gives a bigger HDR picture for the money. Both work well as long as they have HDMI 2.1 for 4K at 120 Hz.
Is HDR worth it on a PS5 monitor?
Only on a monitor that can show it well. OLED and mini-LED monitors with real HDR brightness make PS5 games look noticeably better, while budget HDR400 monitors often look much the same as standard. Run the PS5's HDR adjustment screens once the monitor is connected.
Can the PS5 run at 144Hz or 240Hz?
No. The PS5 outputs up to 120 Hz, so a 144 Hz or 240 Hz monitor runs at 120 Hz with the console. A faster monitor is still worth it if you also play on a PC.
Does the PS5 support 1440p?
Yes. Since a 2022 system update the PS5 can output 1440p, including 120 Hz on monitors that accept it. Turn it on under Screen and Video in the PS5's settings.
