PS5 Ultrawide Gaming Monitor

You can now game on a PS5 with ultrawide monitors. We gave this many tests and trials and as you can see the results are convincingly good. 

Gaming on PS5 and ultrawide monitors is definitely possible. We show you how.

Like every monitor maker we get asked all the time if PS5 gaming is possible on monitors with 21:9 or 32:9 resolutions. That’s a natural question to ask, as the PS5 and its PlayStation predecessors never announced official support for ultrawide.

However, the reality is that it’s not a problem, and the results aren’t bad at all. You see, the engineers at Sony took ultrawide 1440p monitors like the BenQ MOBIUZ EX3415R into account when designing the PS5 and its firmware. Following the September 7, 2022 system update, PS5 supports 1440p output, but currently without variable refresh rate. When connected to ultrawide/21:9 screens, the 2560 x 1440 image is accurately upscaled to 3440 x 1440. It’s now definitely possible to enjoy a very good full screen experience on ultrawide monitors with little to no scaling or stretching weirdness. We have a quick guide to help you get the best image results on an ultrawide when connected to a PS5, so bear with us.

Refresh Rate

Those same Sony engineers have a very unique way of letting you set console refresh rates. Since the EX3415R supports 144Hz and the PS5 has several games that run at 120Hz (like COD Black Ops Cold War, which is the main game we tested with), you probably want to take advantage of that. So, the PS5 has these game presets you should look into. Tucked away within Save Data/App Settings, the Game Preset section allows you to toggle Performance or Quality for all games. Performance favors framerate, quality goes with resolution. Set it to Performance to make sure every game that supports this feature will use it to reach 120Hz, or at least the highest FPS possible. 

You then go into the game’s internal settings and switch 120Hz on whenever available. This setting will be greyed out or locked as “disabled” if the game preset is on Quality. 

Full Screen by Default

BenQ monitors, and honestly those of pretty much any reputable brand, assume you want a full screen with no black bars. Therefore, the default is to fill the screen with whatever input signal is detected. If it’s 1080p from a PS5, the EX3415R calculates the best way to stretch the image to a 21:9 format with hardly any visible distortion. It’s not ideal like having the input match the screen’s native resolution, but very close.

Options Available

Still, the monitor’s OSD does give you choices. You could change the display mode to a 1:1 pixel match, resulting in black bars around the entire image. We recommend Full, but you can experiment. Don’t forget BenQ MOBIUZ monitors have heaps of game-centric screen modes, like FPS, racing, and sports. Plus Light Tuner and Black Equalizer to fine tune bright and dark areas of the picture to prevent detail loss. Explore the features and settings, there’s a lot there to make your PS5 gaming experience more enjoyable. We sure enjoyed playing COD Black Ops Cold War in 120Hz on the EX3415R. No reason you should deprive yourself of the same joy! 

Why MOBIUZ Monitor for PS5?

Visuals of course 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 thus 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.

 

On the audio front, MOBIUZ monitors feature powerful dual speakers and a custom subwoofer for realistic 2.1 channel sound in all your games. Select models even have an AI noise canceling microphone built in, so if you don’t want to use a headset, we’ve got you covered for audio and chat. With great sound already on the monitor, including an AI noise-cancelling microphone, you don’t need to invest in external speakers or headphones unless you want to!
