Best 2024 Monitors for console gaming compatibility

#1 Samsung Odyssey G70D S32DG70
5.0

The 4K screen, HDMI 2.1 and 120Hz support make this a particularly strong match for modern Xbox and PlayStation use, with several enthusiastic owner endorsements.

Pros: PC gaming compatibility, overall picture quality

Cons: overall satisfaction, Smart TV platform

#2 MSI MPG 322URX QD-OLED
4.7

Two HDMI 2.1 connections support current console gaming well, including 4K/120Hz use. At 60Hz, the 240Hz-focused premium is harder to justify.

Pros: overall satisfaction, DisplayPort connectivity

Cons: value for money, reliability over time

#3 ASUS ROG Strix OLED XG27ACDNG
4.6

PS5 and Xbox can take advantage of HDMI 2.1, 120Hz and compatible VRR/HDR modes, though accepted 4K signals are displayed at native 1440p.

Pros: color gamut, overall satisfaction

Cons: reflection handling, VRR flicker

#4 Dell Alienware AW3225QF
4.5

Full-bandwidth HDMI 2.1, VRR, HDR and Dolby Vision offer excellent modern console compatibility. The 16:9 panel avoids ultrawide game-format issues.

Pros: overall satisfaction, brightness

Cons: Dolby Vision support, VRR flicker

#5 LG 27GX790A-B
4.0

PS5 and Xbox work with modern HDMI signals and enjoy OLED contrast, but they cannot exploit 480Hz and a few lower-refresh quirks remain.

Pros: refresh rate, competitive gaming suitability

Cons: value for money, brightness

#6 Dell Alienware AW2725QF
4.0

HDMI 2.1, 4K/120Hz and VRR make it a capable match for modern consoles. Its missing onboard audio options are less convenient for certain console setups.

Pros: Resolution, refresh rate

Cons: HDR performance, contrast

#7 ASUS ProArt Display PA27JCV
4.0

HDMI input allows console use for basic play, but without high-refresh benefits.

Pros: color accuracy, overall picture quality

Cons: HDR performance, refresh rate

#8 ASUS ROG Strix XG27ACS
3.5

The 1440p image and variable refresh support make it appealing for responsive console play, but HDMI 2.0 and the absence of 4K limit the experience.

Pros: value for money, Resolution

Cons: HDR performance, port selection

#9 Dell Alienware AW2725DF
2.8

Consoles can use 1440p at 120Hz, but limited HDMI bandwidth restricts higher-bandwidth modes and complicates the ideal 4K HDR/120Hz combination.

Pros: competitive gaming suitability, color gamut

Cons: brightness, HDMI 2.1 support

#10 LG 24GS65F-B
2.5

The monitor can accept common 1080p console signals, including 120Hz, but lacks some console-oriented VRR and ALLM behavior. It is a better choice for PC-only than console-only gaming.

Pros: adaptive sync performance, response time

Cons: HDR performance, console gaming compatibility

#11 Samsung Odyssey G50D S27DG50
2.3

Consoles can use standard high-refresh modes, but missing PS5 VRR and HDMI 2.1 reduce its appeal as a console-first screen.

Pros: stand adjustability, competitive gaming suitability

Cons: value for money, port selection

#12 Lenovo ThinkVision M14t Gen2
1.0

There is no HDMI input, making conventional console hookup a nonstarter without an untested workaround. The monitor is built for compatible USB-C computers instead.

Pros: overall picture quality, Stylus usability

Cons: port selection, refresh rate
