Best Monitors for PS5: 3 Essential Buying Tips for Gamers

Understanding your preferred game type ensures you pick a monitor that enhances your gaming experience to its fullest potential. The specs you consider may differ for different types of games.

For instance, if you’re drawn to immersive experiences like AAA titles, RPGs, or adventure games, visual quality takes center stage. These genres thrive on stunning visuals, rich worlds, and lifelike details, making high resolution and excellent color quality essential for bringing every scene to life.

On the other hand, if your gaming preferences lean toward fast-paced genres like FPS (First-Person Shooters) or Battle Royale games, performance becomes the priority. A high refresh rate and low input lag are critical for achieving smooth gameplay and quick response times, giving you a competitive edge when every millisecond counts.

Choosing the best viewing distance for a gaming monitor should depend on one's daily usage habits and the space available for placement. To help you quickly determine the ideal screen size for your environment, we suggest using the depth of your desk as a reference to find the most suitable monitor size.

However, each user's habits vary—some sit very close to the screen while others maintain a greater distance, which is important to consider your personal preferences when selecting a monitor size. By factoring in your usage habits, you can choose the size that fits you best!

After deciding on which size works best for your gaming monitor, let’s move on to the next tough question: Flat or Curved monitor?

This question isn’t as difficult as it seems. It all comes down to the type of gaming experience you’re looking for, which we just mentioned previously. If you want an immersive experience, such as enjoying the intricate details of a game world, a curved monitor would be your top choice since a curved monitor can provide for a better viewing experience.

 
On the other hand, if you’re highly focused and prefer a clear, unobstructed view of the entire screen, such as when playing FPS games, where precise awareness of enemy positions is crucial. Then, a flat monitor would be a better fit for your needs.

You may also be wondering about ultrawide monitors. The PS5 doesn’t officially support ultrawide gaming, but you still can use an ultrawide monitor with a PS5. xt tough question: Flat monitor, which one should you choose?

If you are considering which monitor to buy to play with PS5, then the resolution is one thing that you need to consider. Following the September 7, 2022 firmware update, the console currently supports the following resolutions:

Selecting the perfect gaming monitor for your PS5 ultimately depends on your gaming preferences, desk setup, and the type of experience you want to create. Whether you prioritize stunning visuals for immersive AAA titles, high refresh rates for competitive FPS games, or the unique viewing angles of a curved screen, understanding your needs is key to enhancing your gaming adventures.

By considering your preferred game types, personal habits, and the technical specifications needed, you’re well on your way to enjoying everything the current-gen consoles have to offer with a monitor perfectly tailored to your needs. 

Visuals determine just how much you enjoy gaming, and added features that optimize visuals make a big difference. MOBIUZ monitors feature Light Tuner and HDRi to enhance details and create a smart HDR effect that adjusts to game visuals and ambient conditions. With those, PS5 graphics look much better than baseline.

Light Tuner is a custom BenQ technology that ensures contrast and brightness are balanced and prevents detail washout or crush in bright and dark areas of the screen. This is especially helpful when looking for hidden enemies!

HDRi technology further auto-adjusts screen brightness and color temperature based on visuals at any given time and ambient light conditions in your room. It creates a smart and reactive HDR effect that makes game graphics much bolder and more life-like, while reducing eye strain and fatigue to make extended gaming sessions far more comfortable.
