The Best Gaming Monitors for PS5 and Xbox Consoles

The next-generation consoles come with the goal of standardizing 4K gaming, as well as coming with support for AMD‘s FreeSync technology that enables high refresh rates. That is why we have selected a list of monitors so that you can connect both your Xbox and your PS5.

4K has become the standard resolution, but televisions are much more expensive, which is why we thought it appropriate to make a list of several monitors that you can use with the new consoles, both with the two new Xbox Series and with PlayStation 5 , so that you can enjoy the new generation of consoles with the best image quality.

Gaming Monitor

Gaming monitors for console, criteria when choosing

In the first place, it must be taken into account that the consoles having AMD GPUs support AMD FreeSync technology, which is nothing more than the Adaptative Sync standard of the VESA. This, like NVIDIA‘s G-SYNC, is based on the GPU itself that controls the vertical synchronization of the monitor, avoiding certain graphic artifacts. So from the outset we have discarded all G-SYNC monitors, since they do not contribute anything to any of the three consoles.

The other point to keep in mind is the 1440p resolution, which is a resolution supported by the HDMI controller of the SONY PlayStation 5. So you have to keep in mind that all the 1440P monitors in the comparison will work as 1080P monitors in the case of PlayStation 5. While in the case of Xbox Series S the console is designed to play games at 1080P, but has a scaler on your video output that allows you to scale images at 1440p.

Regarding the issue of the refresh rate, both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X do not support refresh rates of more than 120 Hz, so when choosing a monitor to play the console the fact that the rate of refresh rate is more than 120 Hz does not change at all.

4K gaming monitors for consoles

BenQ EW3270U

BenQ EW3270U

Our first choice when it comes to gaming monitors for the new consoles is the BenQ E3270U. A 4K monitor with a refresh rate of 60 Hz, it is a monitor with a VA-type panel that we recommend if you need to play with your console in a very dark room. The counterpart? Its viewing angle is lower so if you are thinking of playing with more people it may not be the best option, but it is if you prefer to play alone and you have low lighting.

The monitor also has a good response time, FreeSync support, VRR and an input lag of 4 milliseconds.

PHILIPS 436M6VBPAB

PHILIPS 436M6VBPAB

The next of the gaming monitors for consoles is PHILIPS 436M6VBPAB. A large HDR monitor with 4K resolution, thanks to its 43-inch panel, also has a great image quality thanks to its OLED screen. Another point where it is worse than other monitors is the fact that it does not support HDMI 2.1 but HDMI 2.0, but to play at 4K and 60 Hz you will not need anything else, apart from that it is compatible with Adaptative Sync, ergo with FreeSync.

Quad HD gaming monitors for consoles

Samsung Odyssey G7 LC27G73TQSUXEN

Samsung Odyssey G7 LC27G73TQSUXEN

The third of the gaming monitors for consoles that we recommend is this Quad HD monitor from Samsung. This is an excellent monitor, especially for eSports where a high frame rate is needed. This 27-inch Samsung Odyssey G7 is excellent for gaming thanks to its FreeSync support, 1ms input lag, and 240Hz refresh rate.

The only limitation that we see? Its price, but it is normal considering that it is a monitor with an LED panel that gives an enormous image quality and an extremely high refresh rate, although the consoles do not take advantage of it and it is not an advantage over other models.

BenQ EX2780Q

BenQ EX2780Q

We are facing a 27-inch Quad HD gaming monitor with FreeSync support and IPS screen and with a refresh rate of 144 Hz. It is a cheaper option to the Samsung monitor, but it has a counterpart a response time of 5 ms, the highest from the entire list. So if this section seems important to you then you should choose this option.

Its positive point? It is cheaper than the Samsung G7, so if you are not willing to spend what the Samsung monitor is worth for a Quad HD monitor then the BenQ EX2780Q is a good option.

Full HD gaming monitors for consoles

AOC C24G2AE

AOC C24G2AE

The AOC C24G2AE is a gaming monitor with Full HD resolution. So logically we do not recommend it for Xbox Series X and not for ps5, but for the Xbox Series S, since this console is designed for Full HD and Quad HD resolutions. It is a monitor with a VA panel so it offers a great contrast and brightness ratio.

It is the cheapest monitor on the list, but since the Xbox Series S is not a console designed for 4K and does not have the power of the other two, it is a waste of money and time to use a 4K monitor or a higher refresh rate. , since the console does not have the necessary power to render with this speed or image quality.
