Why choose a screen dedicated to the PS5?

Many connect their console to a classic TV... and miss out on the true potential of the PS5.

Gaming screens compatible with PS5 offer:

  • Ultra low latency (input lag) for better responsiveness,
  • ✅ One refresh rate up to 120 Hz,
  • ✅ One 4K resolution native to take advantage of the console's performance mode,
  • ✅ Compatibility HDMI 2.1 (indispensable for 4K 120 Hz),
  • ✅ One smoother experience and more details in games like Call of Duty, Fortnite, Spider-Man 2, or Horizon Forbidden West.

In short, a real gain in comfort and performance, even compared to a high-end TV.

The essential criteria for a good PS5 gaming screen

Before rushing to buy the first "gaming" monitor, carefully consider these criteria:

Resolution: 4K or 2.4K (1440p)

  • 4K (2160p) → the top for the PS5, especially for narrative and immersive games.
  • 2.4K (QHD / 1440p) → perfect compromise between sharpness, fluidity, and price.

⚠️ The PS5 now supports 1440p following an official update, so it's an excellent choice if you want to save money without sacrificing quality.

2. Refresh rate: 120 Hz minimum

It is THE key to enjoy performance mode (up to 120 fps on certain games).

👉 Make sure that your 120 Hz screen for PS5 has an HDMI 2.1 input.

3. Panel technology

  • IPS → best colors and viewing angles.
  • GO -> deeper contrast, good for dark games.
  • OLED → infinite contrast, but more expensive.

4. Response time and input lag

For fast-paced games (FPS, FIFA, Rocket League), targets 1 ms response time and < 10 ms input lag.

5. HDR and brightness

The HDR10 or HDR600 makes a real difference on PS5. The higher the brightness, the more the games literally shine ✨.

PS5 Compatibility: What you need to know

Not necessarily.

👉 If your screen is 4K 120 Hz with HDMI 2.1, you are using all the capabilities of the PS5.

But an HDMI 2.0 1440p 120 Hz screen remains totally compatible and smooth.

👉 So yes, no need absolutely for an HDMI 2.1 , unless you want 4K 120 Hz.

Resolution Frequency HDMI required PS5 Compatible
1080p (Full HD) 120 Hz HDMI 2.0 ✅ Yes
1440p (2.4K) 120 Hz HDMI 2.0 ✅ Yes
4K (2160p) 120 Hz HDMI 2.1 ✅ Yes (ideal)
