It’s worth noting the Series X, or S for that matter, will ONLY support HDR if your monitor/tv accepts a 4K signal. Some 1080p or 1440p screens will accept 4K input and downsample to 1080p, in which case HDR will work. Just giving you guys a heads up because there’s a large number of HDR ready 1080p and 1440p screens out there.
I have an HDR Samsung Series 5 TV that supports a max resolution of 1080p. But HDR is always shown as disabled on Xbox settings. And this always frustrated me.
I have an 2560 x 1440 with 2.1 hdmi and games that are 4k run on 4k with this monitor but drops down to 2560x1440 when playing games like cod to push the fps to 120
I got a 1440p 165hz monitor a few years ago for $200, before I even owned a PS5. Then after I finally got a PS5 I was bummed out that my monitor doesn’t have hdmi 2.1. Turns out this doesn’t really matter though, since I don’t need 4k 120. I am missing out on VRR, but I don’t need that either. All the games I play run great. Best bang for the buck out there
@@Austinfdp i mean yea if you are on a large 4k monitor (32”+), sitting close to it and you set resolution to 1440p or especially 1080p it’s going to look blurry but what i meant that if i personally had to choose to play my games at 3840x2160 60fps or 2560x1440 120fps i’d go 1440p and 120fps all day
@@Austinfdp also you need to take in consideration the viewing distance and lots of other stuff aswell because at a certain viewing distance you can’t see the invidual pixels anymore
Nah. As someone who's had 4k and 1440p monitors I have to disagree with this. Both the Series X and the PS5 output a 4k image and so buying a 1440p monitor is a massive waste of the hardware. You said it yourself, the list of 120hz games on the consoles is limited so buying any monitor that can output 120hz is a waste of money. Get a monitor that matches what the consoles are actually outputting, which is 4k at 60fps for the majority of the games. It's probably cheaper to get a 4k 60hz tv as they have Dolby Vision support, monitors don't. If you're playing from a desk then just get a cheap 4k 60hz monitor.
PS5 doesnt output 4K 60fps, its either 1440p 60 fps or 4K 30 fps. If you have a 120 hz monitor, ps5 will output 1800p-4K at 40 fps depending on the game. So buying a 1440p 120 hz monitor seems a better idea if you prefer fps over graphics, and with the balance mode even 1440p will look amazing at 40 fps
@@tony_elemento What you mean fps over graphics since they don't support 120fps most games wont 4k still looks better than 1440p right ? When gaming at 4k 30fps I don't play multiplayer games so it's good to get a monitor or tv that still support 4k 60hz right as only around 100 games support 120hz and 90 which I don't play or go for 1440p 120hz which games don't even support but play at 60fps ?
@@tony_elementothis is false if you have an monitor that’s 4k with high fps and also hdmi 2.1 it will run 4k with 120hz it’s just it’s only like 6 games that is 4k and also 120hz so it seems like the p5 doesn’t run 4k 120hz . most games that are 4k max out at 60hz and if its goes over 60hz the resolution drops to raise hz
@@Likkavelimodern releases are barely even 1440p60 now lmao a lot of games this year…even first party titles like Spider-Man 2 have drops below even 1080p in their respective performance modes. Around 970p at lowest. 4k is not necessary and only made sense for cross gen releases. The reality is that if it can’t run on the ps4, more likely than not, it’s very demanding and will produce these very poor images. Especially at 60fps. Just the reality.
I think I'm going to have to disagree on this one. Here it is 7 months later and I picked up an LG GP95R (equivalent to the GP950) last week for $399 new at Microcenter. It's 27", 4k with HDR, HDMI 2.1, and 144 hz.
At 27 inches I find that 4K doesn’t matter much. 1440 P is more than good enough at 27in however, I would still make sure that I get a monitor with quantum dot or 10. Bit color for the best experience
Except it does if you are trying to go for true “retina” display as apple dubs it. Higher the PPI, the harder it becomes to distinguish pixels and everything - from text to textures look richer and crisper
I have a Dell 27inch 2k monitor at work vs a 27inch 4k monitor by LG UP850 which was around £350 with 95%dcip3 accuracy - The difference is massive in every way possible, it's a completely different experience even doing simple browsing/TH-cam let alone gaming
But if you're ever watching a movie or playing a game at 1080p, it won't look as good on a 1440p monitor because it doesn't scale well. At least, that's what I heard.
That’s true but there are a lot of games that have 4K 60hz so you’d want the 4K for games that are say single player and more fun than competitive so it’s not like it’s a complete no for 4K 120hz
Great points. Affordability is important and tech prices drop as the tech becomes more widely available. Also your point on most games not doing 4K 120 or even 4k 60 in some cases is important. Starfield, one of the biggest games of the year, is only doing 4k 30 so I guess it kinda shows how challenging it is for devs to ship 4k 60 or 120 games right now even with the latest gen.
Nah the consoles aren’t the problem in this case. A $1000 PC could barely run the game at 4K 30fps. It’s just not optimized well and depends on the cpu too much
I have a PC with a Rtx 4070 and Ryzen 9 which is way better than an rx 6800 and it can barely run the game at 4k 40fps at high settings so what you’re saying just isn’t true. So if it can’t even do a native 4K 60fps then a $1000 PC definitely can’t especially a prebuilt one since that’s a more fair comparison since consoles are prebuilt. A PS5 can run that game at 1440p 60fps easily and it’s only $400 compared to the price of an equivalent PC and I would know because I have both a PC and PS5

The breakdown of the monitors involved, resolutions, and even video games that don’t even support certain resolutions or frame rates just yet, I never thought about it at all like that.

@@MegaCosmoVisiontrue but if you don't have a pc just go with tv or if you have a pc which is supposedly above average in terms of specs get the monitor, if you have all of these that means u rich ,might as well get a tv and monitor while you are at it

I have gigabyte m28u which is probably the cheapest hdmi 2.1 monitor right now. My tv is old 4k only use it for netflix lol
You made Valid points but I STILL want the 4k. The M32uc that was mentioned in your video right before this one seems like a good budget option for 4k 144hz at around 500$ which is not too bad if you ask me 🤷🏾♂️
that what im saying the console it self can run at 4k now is all comes down to company that makes games to make it 4k but is true theres no mutch games that support right now but what if in future more and more games support 4k then what i feel i be left behind when if company start doing that !
The C looks worse than the m32u, granted it is curved but that also means a VA panel instead of IPS which has better color range. IPS displays can also go to higher refresh rates which if you’re using Xbox won’t matter.
You have a good point but now with the PS5 pro most "enhanced games" are running at native or upscaled 4K. We really dont get a choice on the resolution. On my PC I can lower the resolution and gain performace, however on my PS5 pro I'm limited to modes that are trying to output the game a 2160p (4K) and on my 1440p monitor I cannot see 4K on it. Some games on the PS5 pro are running a 4K (give or take some upscaling) at 90 - 120fps. Which is insane. Unfortunately, there are no performance modes for 1440p on the PS5 pro, and I wish there was. So right now i'd highly recommend a 4K display to anyone that has a PS5 pro, and to make double sure that it has HDMI 2.1 for the VRR support. The base PS5 is fine on a 1440p display, because most of the performance modes are running a 1440p (give or take). Whereas most of the performace modes on the PS5 pro are trying to output the game at 4K. you lose alot of performance, and on a lower resolution display you won't see the some of the benefits of having better hardware, such as the game running at a higher resolution.

You're overlooking if people use their consoles to watch multimedia applications in 4k like prime or netflix etc.. also alot of games do support 4k so I think it's better to have than not if you can afford it. I love playing on my gigabyte auros fv43u and it's features just overal are ideal for my PS5
OLED TV is the way to go for console IMO. I like to relax and game on the big screen. I have a 1440 monitor, and a 4K TV for gaming. I've played on both and prefer the TV by a long shot, but we all have different applications and preferences
If you play competitive games that’s horrible 10ms response time @60hz because say someone has a 1ms response time @144hz 10/10 times someone of similar skills will win unless you have significantly lower in game ping
@@EvilfonicsAlmost all tv's are atrocious for competitive gaming because most tv's offer extreme input lag and response time and a 60hz refresh rate compared to monitors. Even 144hz oled tv's have bad input lag compared to a simulary priced monitor, but if all you do is casual gaming then oled tv's are excellent for consoles
Nicely said. A 1440p monitor is the best budget option for PS5 tbh. I just wish Sony supported FreeSync, hopefully soon. I don't mind gaming at a desk so it's great!
@katsuquiet97 wrong, most console games don't hit 60 and hover in the 50 frame range. Vrr smothes this out. Thr lack of vrr in 1440 mode makes 1440 monitors a no go for ps5. Hopefully sony will fix this with future patches though.
@@katsuquiet97totally wrong. VRR works as low as 40fps on Xbox. It’s smooths out all games you are running at 60fps. It just won’t work on 30fps games. I believe Ps5 has a worse range at 48-60 fps.

I use the LG Ultragear 1440p 165hz on the Series X. Colors are amazing and smooth 120 frames, I have fps counter on so I can see my frames at all times. I only have “allow 50hz/24hz” and VRR enabled, everything else unchecked. I use 10 bit color setting as well.
Bro i was a console game my whole life.r got a lgc1 . Been gaming on it for a while . Then eventually upgraded to pc. Now i play god of war at 4k 120fps on my rtx4080. Bro let people make purchases.
I will never play in anything but 4K or 8K. I have played on 60hz 4K monitors for years and I have dominated everyone. Framerate is just a cope for average gamers.

Great video man , your point about your gamimg pc and the fact you still choose 1440p really helped nail down a decision, decided to go with a 2K monitor for Xmas. Thanks mate 😊
Guys, players playing on both 1080p Benq Zowie XL2546K and 4K Samsung Odyssey Neo G8 were getting into iridescent (top 1% of gamers in ranked) in CoD MW3. If you want 4K, you are not lacking anything, the pro speed is there. Plus, if you record videos for TH-cam, with a 4K monitor you have 4K output from your PS5, meaning you can capture 4K footage. Today, the 4K monitor Alienware AW3225QF is by a tiny bit faster than Samsung Odyssey Neo G8 (you can watch some FPS comparison with fast movement, set playback speed to 0.25, and you will barely notice this, and definitely not on every scene), and I'm still researching if there are even better ones for the purpose of my channel. So, do as you please, I am just a bit annoyed by this commanding title, but still a geat way to start engagement in the comments. 😉
I think this is bad advice. With a 4K monitor, you can lower your resolution settings to something less than 4K and still get the full benefit of the monitor's refresh rate.
The other day I said the same thing and commenters fired back -- the idea is not necessarily 4k/120fps, but rather dynamic 4k @ 120hz so that you can have unlocked fps and play at 40-80fps (like Horizon/spiderman/god of war games).
Exactly...That's why it's so important to do research...The differences between gaming on the Xbox series s, with a 32" 1440p 165hrz Gigabyte hdmi 2.0 monitor and a high-end 4k uhd monitor are not noticeable and don't justify the bigger price tag
4k 120 was never going to happen on 9th gen games. It makes sense for older 8th gen titles such as Wolfenstein and GTA. That said if you absolutely must get a monitor sure 1440p is a good option, but you will be getting better support for 120 at 1080p so for competitve that would be better and then also get a 4k TV which can be had for as low as $220.
Or maybe get a better tv? They make 4k ones too. You'd get more bang for your buck because you can watch movies and TV in 4k as well as game with it. It's different for PC monitors. Unless you do all those things with a monitor or simply have the cash to spend on one, it's better to just stick with a UHD with higher hz.
Im not sure what you are smoking, every single game im playing has been running at 4k, and the games that support 120fps like call of duty also run at 4k.
For any other OCDs out there. I just got an LG 4K 60hz and its awesome for the series X. The screen does not lag. If you do t notice lag on a normal 50/60hz tv, you sure as shit wont notice on a monitor.
As a pc, Xbox sx and PS5 owner. I can wholeheartedly say that the main reason I enjoyed RDR2 on the Xbox sx was due to the mzing texture packs and frame rate at 4k. Regardless of a game using 4k textures in their games, you will see a big difference between running a console game on 1080, 1440 and 4k. Therefore, 4k is still a pretty good option for consoles. That's my experience. Side note: the Xbox sx has better texture packs and runs on higher FPS than the PS5 on most games.
Framerate is locked on most games so it's going to run at the same Framerate whether you are at 1440p or 4k so you may as well go 4k. Hopefully that will change but I doubt it.
So don’t buy a 4K hdmi 2.1 at full price we should spend half the price and get a 1440p and than buy the 4K hdmi2.1 when it’s cheaper? For about the same combined price as just buying a full price 4K hdmi 2.1 now??
True my gaming PC Corsair costed me $4000, and runs all games in an LG C2 OLED max settings in 4K or 8K and I still run 1440p because is fucking amazing anyways and less stress on the PC that has zero stress in running what i mention!
I disagree I had 1440p 32 Samsung monitor got it to not hog the TV and used a HDMI 2.1 to DP cable to get the 120hz. The colors looked washed even if I dropped the resolution to 1080p. I then traded my monitor with someone that had a gigabyte m32uC monitor. It has 24gps HDMI 2.1 the PS5 doesn't support 48gps HDMI 2.1 so this monitor was perfect for the ps5 and the Xbox series X/S no regrets. The colors look ridiculous. My tv has a high refresh rate of 120hz but no matter what settings I used I couldn't get the 120hz on any of the games that supported 120 only if I used an edid emulator plug and dropped the resolution to 1080p but gaming at 1080p on a 75inch tv with next gen consoles and only HDMI 2.0 well you tend to see it foggy. My tv was meant for sport viewing not gaming. The PS4 ps3 n Xbox One and steam deck look great on it but my ps4 pro n ps5 looked washed out. Get the gigabyte M32UC or flat. I've seen them used and refurbished on Amazon for as low as $300 and it's a $600 monitor. Don't fkn listen to all TH-camr. Some just go by specs(not this guy of course but most do) there are some cons when it comes to console gaming on it NGL but man does it pack s punch on PC gaming. I love my purchase. I almost didn't get it cus I went looking at TH-camr reviewing it. Went to Reddit and so many people told me to take the chance they didn't regret it and they were right
But how good the colors look isn't necissarily releated to the resolution. You can theoretically have a 4K resolution screen, but with bad colors, and vice versa 1080p screen with amazing colors. The 32 Samsung monitor could've had either wasn't tuned properly or actually had bad colors.
I clicked your link, and Newegg has the gigabyte monitor labeled in their 2nd product pic as HDMI 2.1, yet if you closely view the specs or a couple slides over into the pics, it's only 2.0. I find that to be very misleading...
wow, a youtuber that actually knows what he is talking about. and console gamers that have no clue what they are talking about bashing it in the comments. where have I seen this before?
If you will try to play (for example) Destiny 2 in 2k and 4k - you will see such a big difference that will blow you away. 4k is gorgeous and this is not a question. But yes, you are right, many games are not supported 4k in 60hz or do it badly. But those who are... Damn, how great they are.
Sorry to rant but.. the “k” refers to the horizontal resolution. So in the case 3840x2160, the 3840 rounds up to 4000 or “4k” So when you say “2k” you’re referring to 1920x1080. As the 1920 rounds up nicely to 2000. Which I’m sure is not what you mean, you probably mean 1440p, which is 2560x1440, not 2k. More like 2.5k. So don’t call it 2k. Kay cool. Anyway outside of that you’re completely right, 4k is a massive step up from 1440p, this video is way off base.
What about VRR which is now available on PS5 and Xbox? For it to work, you need HDMI 2.1. 1440p monitors don’t use 2.1 because they don’t need as much bandwidth. So you can have a VRR/freesync monitor and be completely unable to use it. You can turn it on and the console will say VRR is activated. But it’s not really working.
Here's a piece of advice from someone with a Series X, on a 50 inch 60Hz 4k TV. Make the upgrade to a monitor or TV that supports 120Hz at 4K. It's how you get 120fps at 4K, thus taking advantage of your console's max frame rate.
I'm still trying to find the right monitor for 4k 120Hz myself. But there's a list of specs I want. 4k support (Series X has 4k) 0ms or 0.03ms response time (response time matters in gaming) 120Hz (for 120fps obviously) 28 or 30 inch display
I agree with getting a 1440P monitor for the Xbox consoles because they support VRR on all resolutions but when it comes to the PS5 you ONLY get VRR on 4k or 1080P plus I know is not ideal to downscale to 1440p or 1080 on a 4k monitor but if that's what it takes for me to get VRR then I don't regret getting my 4k Monitor for the PS5
Vrr is available at 1440 on ps5 . U must have a hdmi 2.1 monitor though. Most don’t have this. They aren’t cheap. 600 plus. U are better off getting lg c2 42in . Truly best picture
I mean a monitor is a great investment, it can be used for work as well as gaming. And when ps5 pro launches, I think it will support higher framerates for most games.

@@Austinfdp i mean yea if you are on a large 4k monitor (32”+), sitting close to it and you set resolution to 1440p or especially 1080p it’s going to look blurry but what i meant that if i personally had to choose to play my games at 3840x2160 60fps or 2560x1440 120fps i’d go 1440p and 120fps all day

Dear youtube channels. Stop telling people what to do and what not to do.
Dear console players, your console can’t play games at 4K.
You'll use your monitor for things other than gaming ...
Not everyone
"Console"
Nah. As someone who's had 4k and 1440p monitors I have to disagree with this. Both the Series X and the PS5 output a 4k image and so buying a 1440p monitor is a massive waste of the hardware. You said it yourself, the list of 120hz games on the consoles is limited so buying any monitor that can output 120hz is a waste of money. Get a monitor that matches what the consoles are actually outputting, which is 4k at 60fps for the majority of the games. It's probably cheaper to get a 4k 60hz tv as they have Dolby Vision support, monitors don't. If you're playing from a desk then just get a cheap 4k 60hz monitor.
PS5 doesnt output 4K 60fps, its either 1440p 60 fps or 4K 30 fps. If you have a 120 hz monitor, ps5 will output 1800p-4K at 40 fps depending on the game. So buying a 1440p 120 hz monitor seems a better idea if you prefer fps over graphics, and with the balance mode even 1440p will look amazing at 40 fps
This comment shows you didnt listen to him in the video
@@tony_elemento What you mean fps over graphics since they don't support 120fps most games wont 4k still looks better than 1440p right ? When gaming at 4k 30fps I don't play multiplayer games so it's good to get a monitor or tv that still support 4k 60hz right as only around 100 games support 120hz and 90 which I don't play or go for 1440p 120hz which games don't even support but play at 60fps ?
@@tony_elementothis is false if you have an monitor that’s 4k with high fps and also hdmi 2.1 it will run 4k with 120hz it’s just it’s only like 6 games that is 4k and also 120hz so it seems like the p5 doesn’t run 4k 120hz . most games that are 4k max out at 60hz and if its goes over 60hz the resolution drops to raise hz
@@Likkavelimodern releases are barely even 1440p60 now lmao a lot of games this year…even first party titles like Spider-Man 2 have drops below even 1080p in their respective performance modes. Around 970p at lowest. 4k is not necessary and only made sense for cross gen releases. The reality is that if it can’t run on the ps4, more likely than not, it’s very demanding and will produce these very poor images. Especially at 60fps. Just the reality.
I think I'm going to have to disagree on this one. Here it is 7 months later and I picked up an LG GP95R (equivalent to the GP950) last week for $399 new at Microcenter. It's 27", 4k with HDR, HDMI 2.1, and 144 hz.

At 27 inches I find that 4K doesn’t matter much. 1440 P is more than good enough at 27in however, I would still make sure that I get a monitor with quantum dot or 10. Bit color for the best experience
Except it does if you are trying to go for true “retina” display as apple dubs it. Higher the PPI, the harder it becomes to distinguish pixels and everything - from text to textures look richer and crisper
I have a Dell 27inch 2k monitor at work vs a 27inch 4k monitor by LG UP850 which was around £350 with 95%dcip3 accuracy - The difference is massive in every way possible, it's a completely different experience even doing simple browsing/TH-cam let alone gaming
I have 2 option rn , buy a monitor with 32" 4k 60hz ips or 27" 2k 180hz miniled. Visually maybe miniled will look better at night
But if you're ever watching a movie or playing a game at 1080p, it won't look as good on a 1440p monitor because it doesn't scale well. At least, that's what I heard.
That’s true but there are a lot of games that have 4K 60hz so you’d want the 4K for games that are say single player and more fun than competitive so it’s not like it’s a complete no for 4K 120hz
Great points. Affordability is important and tech prices drop as the tech becomes more widely available. Also your point on most games not doing 4K 120 or even 4k 60 in some cases is important. Starfield, one of the biggest games of the year, is only doing 4k 30 so I guess it kinda shows how challenging it is for devs to ship 4k 60 or 120 games right now even with the latest gen.
Nah the consoles aren’t the problem in this case. A $1000 PC could barely run the game at 4K 30fps. It’s just not optimized well and depends on the cpu too much
Because Starfield was made on the creation engine, a gaming engine that was built in the late 2000s and was already obsolete when it was released
@@KINGOFDUBSOFFICIALA 1000 dollar PC with an RX 6800 will run the game at 4k high settings above 60fps.
I have a PC with a Rtx 4070 and Ryzen 9 which is way better than an rx 6800 and it can barely run the game at 4k 40fps at high settings so what you’re saying just isn’t true.
So if it can’t even do a native 4K 60fps then a $1000 PC definitely can’t especially a prebuilt one since that’s a more fair comparison since consoles are prebuilt.
A PS5 can run that game at 1440p 60fps easily and it’s only $400 compared to the price of an equivalent PC and I would know because I have both a PC and PS5
Not the case with other games that are far better than starfield😂

@DTLA27 the C is hdmi 2.1
The C looks worse than the m32u, granted it is curved but that also means a VA panel instead of IPS which has better color range. IPS displays can also go to higher refresh rates which if you’re using Xbox won’t matter.
@@GubiYoroi2Agreed. What monitor did you end up going with?
Just admit this is so PC games can get cheaper deals if console players stop. 😆

4k 60fps is beautiful at stand still. But I get a headache when moving camera around in game
You have a good point but now with the PS5 pro most "enhanced games" are running at native or upscaled 4K. We really dont get a choice on the resolution. On my PC I can lower the resolution and gain performace, however on my PS5 pro I'm limited to modes that are trying to output the game a 2160p (4K) and on my 1440p monitor I cannot see 4K on it.
Some games on the PS5 pro are running a 4K (give or take some upscaling) at 90 - 120fps. Which is insane. Unfortunately, there are no performance modes for 1440p on the PS5 pro, and I wish there was. So right now i'd highly recommend a 4K display to anyone that has a PS5 pro, and to make double sure that it has HDMI 2.1 for the VRR support.
The base PS5 is fine on a 1440p display, because most of the performance modes are running a 1440p (give or take). Whereas most of the performace modes on the PS5 pro are trying to output the game at 4K. you lose alot of performance, and on a lower resolution display you won't see the some of the benefits of having better hardware, such as the game running at a higher resolution.
Valuable information i see.. any monitor suggestions for ps5 pro ?

Guys, players playing on both 1080p Benq Zowie XL2546K and 4K Samsung Odyssey Neo G8 were getting into iridescent (top 1% of gamers in ranked) in CoD MW3. If you want 4K, you are not lacking anything, the pro speed is there. Plus, if you record videos for TH-cam, with a 4K monitor you have 4K output from your PS5, meaning you can capture 4K footage. Today, the 4K monitor Alienware AW3225QF is by a tiny bit faster than Samsung Odyssey Neo G8 (you can watch some FPS comparison with fast movement, set playback speed to 0.25, and you will barely notice this, and definitely not on every scene), and I'm still researching if there are even better ones for the purpose of my channel. So, do as you please, I am just a bit annoyed by this commanding title, but still a geat way to start engagement in the comments. 😉
I think this is bad advice. With a 4K monitor, you can lower your resolution settings to something less than 4K and still get the full benefit of the monitor's refresh rate.
The other day I said the same thing and commenters fired back -- the idea is not necessarily 4k/120fps, but rather dynamic 4k @ 120hz so that you can have unlocked fps and play at 40-80fps (like Horizon/spiderman/god of war games).
Exactly...That's why it's so important to do research...The differences between gaming on the Xbox series s, with a 32" 1440p 165hrz Gigabyte hdmi 2.0 monitor and a high-end 4k uhd monitor are not noticeable and don't justify the bigger price tag
Thank you!
4k 120 was never going to happen on 9th gen games. It makes sense for older 8th gen titles such as Wolfenstein and GTA.
That said if you absolutely must get a monitor sure 1440p is a good option, but you will be getting better support for 120 at 1080p so for competitve that would be better and then also get a 4k TV which can be had for as low as $220.
What monitor do you recommend that's 1440p, 240hz or 160hz, and has hdmi 2.1 for vrr.

Or maybe get a better tv? They make 4k ones too. You'd get more bang for your buck because you can watch movies and TV in 4k as well as game with it. It's different for PC monitors. Unless you do all those things with a monitor or simply have the cash to spend on one, it's better to just stick with a UHD with higher hz.

Consoles compatible for 4k, says don't buy a 4k monitor. Make it make sense 😂
You were saying to get 4k monitors in your other videos 😑
As a pc, Xbox sx and PS5 owner. I can wholeheartedly say that the main reason I enjoyed RDR2 on the Xbox sx was due to the mzing texture packs and frame rate at 4k.
Regardless of a game using 4k textures in their games, you will see a big difference between running a console game on 1080, 1440 and 4k. Therefore, 4k is still a pretty good option for consoles. That's my experience. Side note: the Xbox sx has better texture packs and runs on higher FPS than the PS5 on most games.
Good information 👍
Framerate is locked on most games so it's going to run at the same Framerate whether you are at 1440p or 4k so you may as well go 4k. Hopefully that will change but I doubt it.

It has 24gps HDMI 2.1 the PS5 doesn't support 48gps HDMI 2.1 so this monitor was perfect for the ps5 and the Xbox series X/S no regrets. The colors look ridiculous. My tv has a high refresh rate of 120hz but no matter what settings I used I couldn't get the 120hz on any of the games that supported 120 only if I used an edid emulator plug and dropped the resolution to 1080p but gaming at 1080p on a 75inch tv with next gen consoles and only HDMI 2.0 well you tend to see it foggy. My tv was meant for sport viewing not gaming. The PS4 ps3 n Xbox One and steam deck look great on it but my ps4 pro n ps5 looked washed out. Get the gigabyte M32UC or flat. I've seen them used and refurbished on Amazon for as low as $300 and it's a $600 monitor. Don't fkn listen to all TH-camr. Some just go by specs(not this guy of course but most do) there are some cons when it comes to console gaming on it NGL but man does it pack s punch on PC gaming. I love my purchase. I almost didn't get it cus I went looking at TH-camr reviewing it. Went to Reddit and so many people told me to take the chance they didn't regret it and they were right
But how good the colors look isn't necissarily releated to the resolution. You can theoretically have a 4K resolution screen, but with bad colors, and vice versa 1080p screen with amazing colors. The 32 Samsung monitor could've had either wasn't tuned properly or actually had bad colors.
Ohmg i just buy monitor and its only supports HDMI not the HDMI 2.1😭
Don’t tell me what to do youre not my real dad.
Doesnt most 4k monitors drop down to 1440p. I know mine does. But when i watch youtube or movies it goes up to 4k. A win win in my eyes.
I clicked your link, and Newegg has the gigabyte monitor labeled in their 2nd product pic as HDMI 2.1, yet if you closely view the specs or a couple slides over into the pics, it's only 2.0. I find that to be very misleading...
wow, a youtuber that actually knows what he is talking about.
and console gamers that have no clue what they are talking about bashing it in the comments.
where have I seen this before?
If you will try to play (for example) Destiny 2 in 2k and 4k - you will see such a big difference that will blow you away. 4k is gorgeous and this is not a question. But yes, you are right, many games are not supported 4k in 60hz or do it badly. But those who are... Damn, how great they are.
Sorry to rant but.. the “k” refers to the horizontal resolution. So in the case 3840x2160, the 3840 rounds up to 4000 or “4k”
So when you say “2k” you’re referring to 1920x1080. As the 1920 rounds up nicely to 2000. Which I’m sure is not what you mean, you probably mean 1440p, which is 2560x1440, not 2k. More like 2.5k.
So don’t call it 2k. Kay cool.
Anyway outside of that you’re completely right, 4k is a massive step up from 1440p, this video is way off base.
@@Elysiumlostdon’t tell him what to do. Kay cool.
ASUS 27" 1440p OLED for my PC, and LG CX 55" 4K OLED hooked up to my PS5/XBX, winning!
So you guys are 100% sure i can do 1440p @ 120 Hz on my PS5 with a 2.0?
Really need to know before i spend this cash 🙏🏽
Playing Red Dead 2 or The Finals at 1440p just does not cut it on console, regardless of framerate.
3:08 I aint flexing 😂❤
What if you want use your console to watch 4k movies?
why tf would anyone buy a monitor for ps5. just buy a tv and play like what is console supposed to play
I learned that I drink too much to play COD at 120fps😂
What about VRR which is now available on PS5 and Xbox? For it to work, you need HDMI 2.1. 1440p monitors don’t use 2.1 because they don’t need as much bandwidth. So you can have a VRR/freesync monitor and be completely unable to use it. You can turn it on and the console will say VRR is activated. But it’s not really working.
You don't need hdmi 2.1 to use vrr on xbox, It works with a hdmi 2.0 for me
Here's a piece of advice from someone with a Series X, on a 50 inch 60Hz 4k TV.
Make the upgrade to a monitor or TV that supports 120Hz at 4K.
It's how you get 120fps at 4K, thus taking advantage of your console's max frame rate.
I'm still trying to find the right monitor for 4k 120Hz myself. But there's a list of specs I want.
4k support (Series X has 4k)
0ms or 0.03ms response time (response time matters in gaming)
120Hz (for 120fps obviously)
28 or 30 inch display
@@DatboiDemonXhave you found the right monitor yet? I’m in the same boat as you 😂
My tv is still 1080p and looks good to me
I agree with getting a 1440P monitor for the Xbox consoles because they support VRR on all resolutions but when it comes to the PS5 you ONLY get VRR on 4k or 1080P plus I know is not ideal to downscale to 1440p or 1080 on a 4k monitor but if that's what it takes for me to get VRR then I don't regret getting my 4k Monitor for the PS5
I think there was an update where VRR on 1440p is supported on ps5
@@haroldjaybornea545 I don't believe that's true I have search all over and no one has said the PS5 supports VRR on 1440p
@@tge1134 it does, there’s an option in the video settings only if your tv/monitor supports it
Vrr is available at 1440 on ps5 . U must have a hdmi 2.1 monitor though. Most don’t have this. They aren’t cheap. 600 plus. U are better off getting lg c2 42in . Truly best picture
Bro, Check the latest update. I own one and it supports vrr on PS5
I mean a monitor is a great investment, it can be used for work as well as gaming. And when ps5 pro launches, I think it will support higher framerates for most games.
My 4k monitor looks and performs worse than my 1440p monitor. I only play warzone
thx bro i was going for 4k without research
