Monitor Suggestions for PS5
-
Does anybody have any suggestions for monitors that work well with the PS5? If I understand correctly, they would need to be 4k with hdmi 2.1 inputs in order to get 4k at 120hz. The only two I’ve come across that aren’t over 1k are the Samsung Odyssey G7A and the Gigabyte M28U. Has anybody used either of those? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

@TEXAS10PT_PSN you have the 28U don’t you?

So just adding on here --
I got an Odyssey G7 32" last year and didn't realize it didn't support 2.1. Oops and ouch.
Is 28" the largest screen size that supports 2.1? I ask this because with the newer Odysseys 32" does not but 28" does.
Thanks for the help!

I believe 2.1 is required for 4k 120fps, but if you play on something like 1080p or 1440p, 2.0 should be fine. If you are doing 1440p, I'd look into it first rather than trust this random dude with a dog avatar though.
Thanks. So, my current monitor is a 1080p viewsonic that only has 1.4 hdmi inputs. I might actually consider just doing another 1080p monitor that has 2.0 hdmi just to get the 120hz. I’m torn because I only use the monitor for TheShow, and I’m a little reluctant to spend 600 or so just to play one game. Especially since I might be in the market for an OLED tv in the next couple years. What monitor do you use, and do you happen to know its specs?

Both of my monitors are HDMI 1.4, because I primarily play PC games and I can get 144fps just fine with that. Maybe something like this BenQ will be good, and BenQ's have been very reliable for me in the past. Always check reviews though and see if they do things you like or don't like. My BenQ's have been ultra reliable, but color accuracy isn't particularly strong on them (Though these monitors were bought in like, 2017)

No 1440p on PlayStation, only 1080p and 2160p

I have the GIGABYTE M27Q and when I log into the PS5, my monitor goes into 3840x2160 @60Hz with HDR on. This isn't real 4K but it is 4K UHD. When I enable 120Hz my monitor kicks down to 1920x1080 when the game starts. When I play at 60Hz, my resolution stays at 3840x2160.
With all of that said, I really like my monitor for The Show and it looks way better than on my BenQ GL24060.

Thanks for the info. I wonder if that’s because you have to have hdmi 2.1 to get 4k at 120hz. Anyway, I think that’s the case. I’m not really sure what to do. 600 bucks would get me a monitor that does 4k at 120hz with an input lag of about 5 ms at that resolution and frequency. For 200 bucks, I could get a monitor that does 1080p at 120hz with about the same input lag. Or I could just keep my monitor that gives me about 10ms of input lag at 1080p at 60hz. I just don’t know if I want to pay hundreds of dollars to get 5ms better input lag.
