I got the M27Q and if you want to play at 120hz on PS5 you'll have slight ghosting if running at "balanced" in "overdrive" options (Let me translate to English: to get the 0.5 ms response time you need to change the "overdrive options" to "speed" which makes the images ghost horribly at most refresh rates 60/120 since that's what PS5 will use. You get a little less noticeable ghosting if you run the slightly lesser "overdrive option" at "balanced" [note that "balanced" looks horrible if you run at 60 fps] but you get a decent "balanced" at 120fps which is what I use to play overwatch and other competitive games) 60 fps games that don't need a fast refresh rate like single players look fine at 60 fps using the base "overdrive" option at "picture quality" and 120fps also looks great at "picture quality" with no ghosting whatsoever on either option, but slightly higher input lag. I can notice the input lag, but it's so minimal most players won't notice. I'm a GM player in overwatch (git gud) not because of my monitor tho. I was GM in PS4 with a 60 fps monitor *flexing done* In conclusion: M27Q is good enough for even competitive games, slight ghosting but bearable and the "picture quality" removes ghosting completely, but add very minimal lag. Games like Destiny 2 PVE and Slay the Spire look beautiful at 60 fps with "picture quality" since you don't need super fast response times against AI's you don't lose anything at all. I even played Returnal at 60 fps "picture quality" and the extra ms of input lag didn't get me killed.

I grabbed the LG IPS you showed in the video for my series X . Been great so far playing in 1440 120 on MW3

After researching for three days the best monitor for ps5 is the hp omen 27k, it has hdmi 2.1, is ips and 4k. Just ordered it today!

I'd also like to add (before I watch the video; it came to me in the introduction) that alot of us still have ISP's that limit data.. 1080p uses 2gb/hr, 1440 uses nearly 10 and 4k uses nearly 15! I can't imagine how lag would apply at 120fps, but I don't want to find out at a $1k deficite 😬

Tested the OLED LG. It's is s gorgeous display.

But is also VERY dark. I found it so dark it impacted my gameplay, as I just could not see my opponents indoors on PS5. Fiddling with the settings I made some improvements. Turning HDR off had the biggest impact. But that's not what I am paying for imoh.

So I returned it.

Hey I bought the m27q and for whatever reason it doesn’t want to do 1440p I’ve even updated the firmware of the monitor and still nothing

[juanramirez]

Thanks for the helpful info. I wanted to see where you think the Acer Nitro XV275k lands on this list? Would it be overkill for a Xbox series s?

Thank you for your time

It might still be a year or more before I should be asking this, but what would be a good dual monitor setup for a PS5/PC setup? Thinking of one good monitor with the HDMI being 2.1 for the gaming half and an okay one to show my stream on. But lots of googled answers say it's ideal to have two matching monitors for that route, but that might be a bit expensive.

[jvimxx]

Good point to add when talking about the $100 difference between the LG and GB monitors is that LG typically has better quality control and more durable products.

[AbyssKrizz]

Love the vid, but people switch from tv to monitor backseat of the response time. Tv ave is 25-40 monitor is .05-4 ave. That’s huge

[MMAbruv]

Why is the corsiar like £900 but only $450 for you?

[twokkiecr]

I'm getting my son his first monitor for his ps5 for Christmas. What monitor should I get to make his gaming more fun like fortnite and call of duty

[Иван-блт]

But playing games on 120 or 60 fps on ps5 with a 170Hz monitor will definitely cause screen tearing.Especially with 2.0 HDMI when ps5 supports VRR only on 2.1 HDMI.Am I wrong?

[frankcastle]

I've been researching seems like for months now lol on what to buy for PS5. I initially wanted the LG C2 which I still do but it's not in my budget atm to get up to date my current Vizio TV is 10 years old and it's outdated. However I started looking at gaming monitors instead but I keep asking myself do I really need 4K, VRR, ALLM, etc and all the other specs for a monitor idk 1440p sounds like the better option as far as pricing is. Looking forward to your new video for further explanation love your content!

[elevate]

Which one of these has the least ghosting and best response time? (Excluding the oled one of course)

[Icccecolddd]

What do you think about the AORUS FV43U 43"?

[Rhutt]

But it's only in 4k that you need HDMI 2.1 to run ps5 at 120hz? 1080p and 1440p both run at 120hz on ps5 with HDMI 2.0? Am I incorrect?

[Toleador]

So what about the series x 1440p 120hz issues they solve it or must make alchemy's again to achieve 120hz to 1440p resolution 😢

[tahattaha]

is it right that ps5 system only suppo 4k or 1080p ? so either you buy a 4k or a 1080??

[CynicalSnowflake]
