HOW TO CHOOSE THE BEST MONITOR FOR PS5
The gaming monitor market is a particularly full one so if you’re looking to dip your tow in the PS5 monitor pool, it can be daunting when approaching the question of which one to buy. As a result, if you approach the process with a few key factors in mind, you should be able to whittle down your choices quickly and helpfully.
Size
A big deal, and one that might matter slightly ‘more’ than with a TV. Whereas I’ve never heard anyone complain of their TV being too big (really), the proximity that you sit to your PS5 monitor means that there’s more to think about. There’s only so much screen the human eyes can take in at any given distance after all – there’s a reason that some pro gamers use 24-inch screens. Anyway, think carefully about where your PS5 monitor will be placed, and how far you are going to be from it. We reckon 32-inch screens are probably the sweet spot for not being too overbearing or space hungry, while also allowing the PS5 to output superbly. That said, a 27- or 28-inch screen could well be more than enough for your setup.
Compatibility and flexibility
This mainly comes down to answering the question of whether you will also use the monitor for your PC. If you are then you’ll likely want to – and benefit from – aligning your PC needs with your PS5 gaming needs. Think about the best screen for playing PC games (and possibly work) but also for PS5; think about flat vs curved screens; and think about key specs that you might want for PC (higher refresh rate, for example) and whether a monitor can hit that as well as what you want from your PS5 (higher resolution, perhaps).
Budget
It’s an obvious one but it’s a key one. Always have a budget in mind that you want to spend, and then an amount that you’d be happy going to. If you go beyond these then things can start to spiral. You can always look to specs to trade off them against price, and you can always see if you can save longer and hold out until the next sales event, such as Prime Day or Black Friday.
Key Specs
A good way to approach what specs you most need from a PS5 monitor is to (broadly) think along the lines of graphical fidelity and quality vs super smooth framerates. While you can get all-singing, all-dancing monitors that will do both if you really concentrate on what’s more important to you, then you can remove whole swathes of monitors in one fell swoop. If, for example, like me, you value higher resolutions and picture detail over frame rates, then you can focus on those 4K monitors with lower frame rates happily. If the reverse is the case, then you’ll immediately be scanning the right fast refresh rate monitors.
What is the best monitor for PS5?
Our top choice for the best monitor for PS5 is the Gigabyte Aorus FV43U, but you might have particular preferences that make the other options here better for you. However, this monitor boasts superb image quality and offers real HDR for more vivid contrast and truer, accurate blacks, which help to increase immersion in your favorite games. When looking for a PS5 monitor, this should be the first one to at least check out before making any purchasing decisions.
