If you want OLED, the [Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 (G81SF) 27"](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FM4DP4DW?tag=geekyinc0d-20&ref=geekyinc.com) is the cheapest 4K OLED we found in stock on Amazon at $687.99, and RTINGS says it supports every console feature, VRR included. The PlayStation 5 Pro (PS5 Pro) outputs at most **120Hz**, so a 240Hz or 480Hz monitor only matters if you also game on PC. What decides a PS5 monitor is simpler: does its HDMI port do HDMI 2.1, 4K120 and VRR? Below is a checklist, a cost-per-inch table and six picks from $179 to $868. ## What does a monitor need for PS5 Pro? ![PS5 Pro console standing upright with a DualSense controller, official Sony image](https://storage.ghost.io/c/cb/4e/cb4ed481-0c15-45c5-af06-fb31e16cb400/content/images/2026/11/ps5-pro-console-upright-dualsense.jpg) For 4K at 120fps you need **HDMI 2.1 on the monitor's HDMI port**, not just DisplayPort. Sony says the PS5 "supports the HDMI 2.1 specification" and 4K 120Hz output on its [4K resolution guide](https://www.playstation.com/en-us/support/hardware/ps5-4k-resolution-guide/?ref=geekyinc.com). Here is the full checklist: | Feature | What PS5 / PS5 Pro does | What to look for on the monitor | | -------------- | -------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | 4K at 120Hz | Supported over HDMI 2.1 | An HDMI 2.1 port. HDMI 2.0 tops out at 4K60. | | 1440p at 120Hz | Added in the September 2022 system update | 1440p/120Hz support. Many HDMI 2.0 monitors can do this. | | VRR | HDMI 2.1 VRR (HDMI Forum VRR) | HDMI 2.1 VRR in the spec sheet. A FreeSync or G-Sync label alone doesn't guarantee it on PS5. | | Refresh rate | Up to 120Hz | Anything above 120Hz is for PC only | | ALLM | Switches compatible displays into low-latency mode | ALLM, or a game mode you can leave on | | HDR | System-level HDR adjustment screen | Real HDR brightness (OLED or HDR600+). HDR10 alone on a cheap panel is effectively SDR. | Sources: Sony's [PS5 resolution guide](https://www.playstation.com/en-us/support/hardware/ps5-4k-resolution-guide/?ref=geekyinc.com), the [September 2022 1440p update](https://blog.playstation.com/2022/09/07/new-ps5-system-software-update-is-out-globally-today/?ref=geekyinc.com), the [February 2023 VRR at 1440p update](https://blog.playstation.com/2023/02/02/ps5-beta-introduces-discord-voice-chat-vrr-support-for-1440p-and-more/?ref=geekyinc.com), Sony's [VRR announcement](https://blog.playstation.com/2022/04/25/variable-refresh-rate-support-for-ps5-is-rolling-out-this-week/?ref=geekyinc.com) and the [PS5 Pro page](https://www.playstation.com/en-us/ps5/ps5-pro/?ref=geekyinc.com) (60Hz and 120Hz displays). ## Best PS5 Pro monitors compared: price per inch and 4K120 cost 4K120 with VRR starts at $329 on Amazon today, about $12 per inch. 4K OLED starts at $687.99, and a 32-inch 4K OLED at $867.99\. The "vs cheapest 4K120" column shows what each step up costs over the ASUS TUF. | Monitor | Size | PS5 mode | HDMI 2.1 ports | PS5 VRR | Price (Nov 8) | Per inch | vs cheapest 4K120 | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----- | -------- | -------------- | -------------------------- | ------------- | -------- | ---------------------- | | [LG UltraGear 27GS75Q-B](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DFZZHK6X?tag=geekyinc0d-20&ref=geekyinc.com) | 27" | 1440p120 | 0 (HDMI 2.0) | No | $179.00 | $6.63 | Can't do 4K120 | | [ASUS TUF Gaming VG27UQ1A](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DHG1GTG2?tag=geekyinc0d-20&ref=geekyinc.com) | 27" | 4K120 | 2 | Yes (ASUS spec) | $329.00 | $12.19 | Baseline | | [ASUS ROG Strix XG27UCSR](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GR79KXGX?tag=geekyinc0d-20&ref=geekyinc.com) | 27" | 4K120 | 1 | Yes (ASUS spec) | $410.95 | $15.22 | +$81.95 | | [Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 G81SF](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FM4DP4DW?tag=geekyinc0d-20&ref=geekyinc.com) | 27" | 4K120 | 2 | Yes (RTINGS) | $687.99 | $25.48 | +$358.99 | | [Sony INZONE M10S](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D9R7HCVG?tag=geekyinc0d-20&ref=geekyinc.com) | 27" | 1440p120 | 2 | Yes (RTINGS, some flicker) | $748.00 | $27.70 | Can't take a 4K signal | | [MSI MPG 321URXW](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DPXYZYPT?tag=geekyinc0d-20&ref=geekyinc.com) | 31.5" | 4K120 | 2 | Yes (RTINGS) | $867.99 | $27.56 | +$538.99 | Per-inch price uses the marketed diagonal. The PS5 caps every monitor here at 120Hz, so the extra refresh rate on the pricier models (160Hz to 480Hz) is PC-only value. **Gearing up for GTA 6 or a PS5 Pro?** [Join the Geeky Inc newsletter](#/portal/signup) for launch guides, buyer guides and deals worth your time. ## Best gaming monitors for PS5 Pro, ranked ### 1\. ASUS TUF Gaming VG27UQ1A: best value 4K120 ![ASUS TUF Gaming VG27UQ1A 27-inch 4K 160Hz gaming monitor with HDMI 2.1](https://storage.ghost.io/c/cb/4e/cb4ed481-0c15-45c5-af06-fb31e16cb400/content/images/2026/11/asus-tuf-gaming-vg27uq1a-4k-monitor.jpg) [**$329 on Amazon**](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DHG1GTG2?tag=geekyinc0d-20&ref=geekyinc.com) (Nov 8) · 27" Fast IPS · 4K up to 160Hz · 2x HDMI 2.1 The cheapest way to get everything the PS5 Pro can send to a monitor: ASUS lists "native 4K @120Hz via HDMI 2.1" plus VRR and ALLM on its [spec page](https://www.asus.com/displays-desktops/monitors/tuf-gaming/tuf-gaming-vg27uq1a/?ref=geekyinc.com), and there are two HDMI 2.1 ports, so a PS5 and an Xbox or PC can both stay plugged in. HDR is entry-level HDR10 with no local dimming, so treat it as an SDR monitor. **Buy it if:** you want 4K120 and VRR on PS5 Pro for the least money. ### 2\. Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 (G81SF) 27": best OLED ![Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 G81SF 27-inch 4K 240Hz QD-OLED gaming monitor](https://storage.ghost.io/c/cb/4e/cb4ed481-0c15-45c5-af06-fb31e16cb400/content/images/2026/11/samsung-odyssey-oled-g8-g81sf-27-4k-uhd.jpg) [**$687.99 on Amazon**](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FM4DP4DW?tag=geekyinc0d-20&ref=geekyinc.com) (Nov 8) · 27" QD-OLED · 4K up to 240Hz · 2x HDMI 2.1 The cheapest 4K OLED we found in stock. [RTINGS](https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/samsung/odyssey-oled-g81sf-s27fg810s?ref=geekyinc.com) says it "supports all console features, including VRR" and has low input lag at any refresh rate. You get per-pixel contrast and VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400\. It costs $359 more than the ASUS TUF, and that money buys picture quality, not PS5 features. Amazon showed 16 left on November 8. **Buy it if:** you play dark, cinematic games and sit close to the screen. ### 3\. MSI MPG 321URXW: best 32-inch OLED ![MSI MPG 321URXW 31.5-inch 4K 240Hz QD-OLED gaming monitor, white](https://storage.ghost.io/c/cb/4e/cb4ed481-0c15-45c5-af06-fb31e16cb400/content/images/2026/11/msi-mpg-321urxw-qd-oled-monitor.jpg) [**$867.99 on Amazon**](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DPXYZYPT?tag=geekyinc0d-20&ref=geekyinc.com) (Nov 8) · 31.5" QD-OLED · 4K up to 240Hz · 2x HDMI 2.1 The white version of MSI's well-reviewed 321URX. [RTINGS](https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/msi/mpg-321urx-qd-oled?ref=geekyinc.com) reports full PS5 compatibility thanks to HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, and [KitGuru](https://kitguru.net/peripherals/dominic-moass/msi-mpg-321urx-review-4k-240hz-qd-oled/7?ref=geekyinc.com) measured 1.81 ms average input lag. It's the cheapest 32" 4K OLED in stock on Amazon, but Amazon listed it as "usually ships within 2 to 5 weeks" on November 8, so order early if it's a holiday gift. **Buy it if:** your desk is deep enough for 32 inches and you want OLED. ### 4\. ASUS ROG Strix XG27UCSR: step-up 4K IPS ![ASUS ROG Strix XG27UCSR 27-inch 4K 162Hz gaming monitor](https://storage.ghost.io/c/cb/4e/cb4ed481-0c15-45c5-af06-fb31e16cb400/content/images/2026/11/asus-rog-strix-xg27ucsr-4k-monitor.jpg) [**$410.95 on Amazon**](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GR79KXGX?tag=geekyinc0d-20&ref=geekyinc.com) (Nov 8) · 27" Fast IPS · 4K up to 162Hz · 1x HDMI 2.1 The Gen2 version of the XG27UCS. ASUS's [product page](https://rog.asus.com/us/monitors/27-to-31-5-inches/rog-strix-xg27ucs-gen2-xg27ucsr/?ref=geekyinc.com) lists one HDMI 2.1 (FRL) port, DisplayPort 1.4 and USB-C, which suits a desk shared between a PS5 Pro and a laptop. KitGuru measured 3.09 ms average input lag on the original [XG27UCS](https://www.kitguru.net/peripherals/monitors/dominic-moass/asus-rog-strix-xg27ucs-review-budget-4k-160hz-ips/6/?ref=geekyinc.com). For about $82 over the TUF you get DisplayHDR 400 and USB-C, but only one HDMI 2.1 port. **Buy it if:** your PS5 Pro shares a desk with a laptop that charges or displays over USB-C. ### 5\. LG UltraGear 27GS75Q-B: best cheap 1440p monitor for PS5 ![LG UltraGear 27GS75Q-B 27-inch 1440p 180Hz IPS gaming monitor](https://storage.ghost.io/c/cb/4e/cb4ed481-0c15-45c5-af06-fb31e16cb400/content/images/2026/11/lg-ultragear-27gs75q-b-1440p-monitor.jpg) [**$179 on Amazon**](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DFZZHK6X?tag=geekyinc0d-20&ref=geekyinc.com) (Nov 8) · 27" IPS · 1440p up to 180Hz (200Hz overclocked) · HDMI 2.0 The cheapest way to play at 120Hz on PS5, but only at 1440p. It has HDMI 2.0, not 2.1, so it can't do 4K120 and you shouldn't count on PS5 VRR. HDR is HDR10 only. It's a fine first monitor for a PS5 owner who mostly plays competitive games. A PS5 Pro owner is better off spending $150 more on the ASUS TUF. **Buy it if:** you have a base PS5 and a budget under $200. ### 6\. Sony INZONE M10S: Sony's 1440p OLED ![Sony INZONE M10S 27-inch 1440p 480Hz OLED gaming monitor](https://storage.ghost.io/c/cb/4e/cb4ed481-0c15-45c5-af06-fb31e16cb400/content/images/2026/11/sony-inzone-m10s-oled-monitor.jpg) [**$748 on Amazon**](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D9R7HCVG?tag=geekyinc0d-20&ref=geekyinc.com) (Nov 8) · 27" WOLED · 1440p up to 480Hz · 2x HDMI 2.1 Sony's own OLED, built mostly for competitive PC play. [RTINGS](https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/sony/inzone-m10s?ref=geekyinc.com) confirms HDMI 2.1 bandwidth and VRR, with some VRR flicker. It can't accept a 4K signal, so set the PS5 Pro to 1440p output. For PS5 Pro alone, the Samsung OLED gives you 4K for less. **Buy it if:** you play competitive shooters on PC at high frame rates and want one OLED for both PC and PS5. ## Is 1440p or 4K better for PS5 Pro? ![PS5 Pro console lying horizontally with a DualSense controller, official Sony image](https://storage.ghost.io/c/cb/4e/cb4ed481-0c15-45c5-af06-fb31e16cb400/content/images/2026/11/ps5-pro-console-horizontal-dualsense.jpg) 4K, if you're buying for the PS5 Pro. The Pro's main upgrade is sharper image quality at high frame rates, and a 27-inch 4K monitor shows that detail at desk distance. 1440p120 makes sense on a tight budget or if you mainly play competitive shooters. Sony also sells its own 27-inch 1440p [PlayStation Gaming Monitor](https://direct.playstation.com/en-us/buy-accessories/27-gaming-monitor-with-dualsense-charging-hook?ref=geekyinc.com) through PlayStation Direct, which runs at up to 120Hz on PS5. Deciding which console to buy in the first place? See our [PS5 Pro vs PS5 vs Xbox for GTA 6](https://www.geekyinc.com/ps5-pro-vs-ps5-vs-xbox-series-x-s-for-gta-6/) comparison.

Read [PS5 storage for GTA 6](https://www.geekyinc.com/ps5-storage-for-gta-6/). ## PS5 Pro monitor FAQ ### Does PS5 Pro support 144Hz or 240Hz? No. PS5 and PS5 Pro output up to 120Hz. A higher-refresh monitor still works, at 120Hz. ### Does a FreeSync or G-Sync monitor get VRR on PS5? Not automatically. PS5 uses HDMI 2.1 VRR, so check that the monitor lists HDMI 2.1 VRR on its HDMI port. ### Do I need HDMI 2.1 for 1440p 120Hz? Not always. 1440p120 fits within HDMI 2.0 bandwidth, so monitors like the LG 27GS75Q-B can do it. If you want 1440p120 with VRR and HDR together, buy HDMI 2.1. ### Does the PS5 Pro's 8K mode matter for monitors? No. 8K output is 60Hz only, needs an 8K display with Display Stream Compression, and disables VRR, [per Sony](https://www.playstation.com/en-us/support/hardware/ps5-4k-resolution-guide/?ref=geekyinc.com). ## Verdict Buy the [ASUS TUF Gaming VG27UQ1A](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DHG1GTG2?tag=geekyinc0d-20&ref=geekyinc.com) for $329 and you get every PS5 Pro monitor feature: 4K120, HDMI 2.1 VRR and ALLM. Step up to the [Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 27"](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FM4DP4DW?tag=geekyinc0d-20&ref=geekyinc.com) at $687.99 if you want OLED contrast, or the [MSI MPG 321URXW](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DPXYZYPT?tag=geekyinc0d-20&ref=geekyinc.com) if you want 32 inches and can wait for shipping. --- *Prices were checked on Amazon US on November 8, 2026 and can change.
