How to Choose Gaming Monitor for PS4 Pro, PS4 or Xbox One X ?

Two players are playing video game with gaming monitor and gaming console, Xbox and PS4.

While your choice of a gaming monitor will be influenced by a lot of factors: the games you play, console you use and your budget, the general gaming monitor specs that you should keep in mind are resolution, refresh rate, HDMI bandwidth.

In this article, we will explain these features in more details for you:

High Resolution of 1080P and Above For Clear Image

A general rule when buying a gaming monitor is that you should not buy anything less than 1920 x 1080 pixels, also known as Full HD or 1080P. Many competitive gamers up to these days prefer 1080P since it is not too demanding to the system, and allows them to play more effectively. If you are more interested in resolution, you can check this article What is Resolution of Monitor? Full HD vs 2K vs 4K.

HDR for Vivid Colors and a Lifelike Image
HDR provides brighter, vivid and close-to-real life image than SDR.

If graphics are important for you, make your visual experience even greater with HDR. Both PlayStation 4 (Slim and Pro) and the Xbox One (standard, S, and X) support HDR10, and you will want to choose a monitor supporting this function. With High Dynamic Resolution or HDR, the colors you see on your screen will be more vibrant and the image as a whole will be more dynamic and closer to what it looks like in real life. This is because this technology is capable of capturing a wider colors gamut and a variety of shades. It captures details in both darker and brighter parts of the picture without subtle detail loss. It prevents brighter parts from being too bright and the darkest parts from blackening out.

HDMI 2.0 for Smooth Console-Monitor Connectivity

The Xbox One X and PS4 Pro are technically 4K-capable consoles. If you want to truly enjoy their capabilities, it is crucial to choose a monitor with HDMI 2.0 or later version. HDMI version 2.0 provides bigger bandwidth and can transfer more data. HDMI 2.0 can deliver up to 60 frames of 4K content without compromising quality. That is something older versions of HDMI cannot do.

The simple reality now is that HDMI cable bandwidth is an essential consideration. For 4K 60Hz with HDR for gaming and video you need a proper HDMI 2.0 cable with the full 18Gbps, while looking ahead to HDMI 2.1.

60 Hz with the Right Refresh Rate

If you are playing first person shooter, fighting, or racing games, the speed of refreshing images on your screen is crucial. The faster the screen refreshes the images, the better you perform because the image on the screen to keep up with your fastest movements. For these highly competitive kinds of games like CS:GO, Call of Duty, Battlefield or FIFA, faster refresh rate is usually believed to be beneficial.

144Hz, 2K (1440P) and Freesync2 for Xbox One and Extra-Fast Gaming

For owners of Xbox One X or Xbox One S who enjoy competitive gameplay, it is possible now to play at a higher refresh rate of 120Hz per second with the newest update from May 2018. At the same time, Xbox is equipped with HDMI 2.0 that is currently not capable of transferring 120Hz with 4K

In this case, a good choice will be a 2K (1440P) monitor with a higher refresh rate. For example, BenQ`s EX3210R and EX2710Q gaming monitor has a higher refresh rate of 165Hz. It also has 2K resolution that is a good balance between graphics and performance.

It also supports FreeSync2 to avoid choppy playing experience and image tearing due to differences in refresh rates of console and monitor.

FreeSync compatible monitors prevent tearing up of the image.
