What monitor specs do I need for PS5 and Xbox Series X?
Now, the minutiae of individual specs across console monitor contenders is where we can start to differentiate between the two new-gen machines a bit.
But first, if we are to take a purely objective approach, these are the specs you’ll definitely want in a PS5/XSX monitor: a 4K (3840×2160) resolution, HDR, and HDMI 2.1 (to ensure 120Hz refresh rate). These are the specs that will you get he most out of your console companion – but that’s not the be all and end all. And compromises are always around the corner. For example an all-singing, all-dancing, 4K 120Hz monitor is going to be a large investment, so you might be content with 4K at 60Hz, or you might prefer the speed, so would be content with a 1080p 144Hz (or higher) model to ensure you’re getting those sweet, sweet framerates.
The difference that you could look to make that does – currently – follow the console chasm. And that is the fact that those on an Xbox Series X or S could plump for a 1440p monitor as those console output at that resolution, whereas the PS5 does not – for now. We reckon that the PS5 will do eventually, but for now, this could be something that folks will use to push them one way or another on a PS5/XSX monitor.
