@@BrandoFrom215 Even if your monitor was a HDMI 2.0 monitor it would still be able to do 1440p @ 120fps. You only need 2.1 if you want more than 60fps when playing in 4k resolution.
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
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.
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
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
@@OnlyMilikkmodern 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.
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
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.

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.
I feel like this video focused too much on the cost of monitor and value. The main reason I think people or at least me came to this video here was functionality
I’m glad you made this video. 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.

@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.

Buying a 4k monitor isnt just for gaming. There are mini reasons to still buy one despite gaming being more competitive at 1440p high refresh rate. 4k video editing as well as using apple computers is one of the biggest reasons.

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
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...
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.
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
Thank you so much, based on my budget I couldn't afford 4k with 120+fps but this suggestion will save me money. 1440p +120+hz is within budget and truly a sweet spot.
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.

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.
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.
The sony monitor designed for the PS5 Is 4k. Honestly most sony games arent rendering in 4k they render at 1440 or lower and are upscaled to 4k. I don't think your going to get the performance your talking about with a 1440 I think it's going to be very similar if not the same. That being said the 1440 is the way to go if your on a budget. It's still gonna look great and in most games cases would be native res.
@@TechAuditTV thanks for the reply. Will definitely look into it. I’m currently on a 1080p so I’m sure it will be a solid upgrade from what I have . Is there a difference from 120 to 170 and 240 or not really and would you still fully recommend a 120. I’m on a PS5 btw
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.
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 😊
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.
Dear console manufacturers stop exaggerating the capabilities of the ps5 and Xbox series x the advertising should say sometimes after a long wait run at 1080p 30
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.
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.
You’re not just sacrificing resolution in “performance mode”, you’re also sacrificing depth of field, texture quality, and some Ray tracing potential. Never- I mean never play a good cinematic game in performance mode - always go for fidelity.
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.
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.

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).
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.

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. 😉
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
No. Any non-integer resolution scaling will make the image blurry. Being unable to make pixel-perfect resizing, it will have to stretch some pixels in unintended ways to make it fit. You're almost better off with a 1080p image on a 1080p screen then a 1440p image on a 4K screen. Almost...
I think it comes down to how you are going to use the monitor and what you play. Obviously if you are using this monitor for other stuff like design, video, watching movies then the 4K element has more of a payoff, but all that stuff will never go over 60fps anyway. So it really comes down to what you play. There are VERY few games that support 4K above 60fps. That being said, there may be games you play where you don't care about having a high refresh rate, you just want to play it in 4K. So if you are the type of player that likes to bounce between a slow paced game at 4K/60fps and then play something like Call of Duty at 1440p/120fps then an HDMI 2.1 monitor makes a lot more sense.
@@TechAuditTV I was so surprised how good higher refresh rate was, I went from a 60hz to 165hz and expected to not even notice, don't think I'll move away from 1440p for a really long while as it's the perfect sweet spot unless you need a large display
@TechAuditTV you will be sad, since you’re not using the full potential out of your ps5 or XSX with a 1440p screen. I tried and experience stuttery / choppy frame rate issues when playing warzone on both consoles.

Just buy a good 4k monitor of 500-600€ and you’re good to go, prices have dropped now meanwhile.
What if I want a 4K 120hz monitor and have money to burn? Also wouldn’t buying this monitor even though I’m spending more save me from having to buy a new one when the next gen drops?
If a monitor is expensive today, it will likely become cheaper in the future, but new features will be added, making newer models more expensive. You can get the monitor If you want that 120hz it's up to you.
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.
I just did this. I can't believe how much better the games look on my 1440p 27" monitor. I mean, better clarity and refresh rate. I have been gaming on a 55" LG C1 oled. Great TV! But most PS5 games can't out put native 4k, and the upscaling is lacking with some games. PSSR has a ways to go before it gets better. So 1440p is easier for PSSR to upscal to. And the 1ms 180hz is great as well. Alan Wake 2 looks awesome and crisp. The ips color looks great as well.
I have the neo g8 that I got at a great deal for like 500 bucks and it's way better than a 1440p. I can literally see the difference in graphics and most of the games I play run 120hz 4k. I am on PlayStation so it's not like I would get more framerate running 1440p. I agree, I probably wouldn't spend over a 1000 dollars for a 4k but I'm glad I got this monitor for a steal.

It’s worth noting the Series X, or S for that matter, will ONLY support HDR if your monitor/tv accepts a 4K signal.

Just giving you guys a heads up because there’s a large number of HDR ready 1080p and 1440p screens out there.
We should add that VRR won’t work with HDR so it will force you to choose.

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.

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😂
All depends what you want. For me i play story and immersive games not online. So 60fps at 4k with hdr is perfect. Not everyone is a fps nutjob.
4k 60fps is beautiful at stand still. But I get a headache when moving camera around in game

@@ItaloInfernoyou can do high res and stable fps…
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
@@OnlyMilikkmodern 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.
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
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.

@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.

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...
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.

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.
The sony monitor designed for the PS5 Is 4k. Honestly most sony games arent rendering in 4k they render at 1440 or lower and are upscaled to 4k. I don't think your going to get the performance your talking about with a 1440 I think it's going to be very similar if not the same. That being said the 1440 is the way to go if your on a budget. It's still gonna look great and in most games cases would be native res.

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.

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 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.
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.

They don’t run games at those resolutions for the most part
You’re not just sacrificing resolution in “performance mode”, you’re also sacrificing depth of field, texture quality, and some Ray tracing potential. Never- I mean never play a good cinematic game in performance mode - always go for fidelity.
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.

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 ?
@@michaelmyers6612 Dell 3223Q. Just ordered it so if you read this a week from now ask me about it but from everything I’ve researched it’s one of the best for a reasonable price hdmi 2.1 vrr 4k 120hz
@@IlLAD3LPH1A215 cheers man
4k 60 is still butter. This guy trippin’.
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).
I’ll never go back to anyhting less than 4K. Also: I have a way bigger beard so that makes me right by default 😎

Common sense left the video
You can always change resolution while playing Games and for non Gaming work use 4K
You were saying to get 4k monitors in your other videos 😑
Any suggestion for 32” to 40” wall mounted gaming monitor for ps5?
Look up the asrock curved monitor.
27'' on 1080p
Will this be a good choice
Not really, at that size 1440p would be significantly better
The upscaling on my 4K monitor with ps5 was also so bad that it looked so shit
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
So is my 1080p monitor just fine?
Technically , YES .. but 1440p is the way to go .. its alot sharper
@@kyosukeshidou1370 thanks!!
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.
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
I have 4k 2.1 hdmi monitor can I still run 1440p 120 hz without a problem or do I need a 1440p monitor if that makes sense ?
Same question, did u get ur answer?
@@WilliamFs96you can but it won’t look as good as actual 1440p monitors
Native resolution is always best
Yeah now it’s 2025. PS5 pro, definitely going for 4k
I just got a 4k monitor. So I shouldn’t play Warzone on 4k 120hz?
u can if its supports it. u need 2.1 hdmi for that. He was just saying a lot of console games don't use it so no point in buying one.
@@Austinfdp thank you!
How about I'm satisfied on 60fps?
Hey at the end of the day, if you're satisfied, I'm satisfied 🤝
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. 😉
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 😂
OLED monitor for gaming. 4k tv for movies & shows?
Can you not just buy a 4K monitor and set the resolution to 1440p with no issues?
No. Any non-integer resolution scaling will make the image blurry. Being unable to make pixel-perfect resizing, it will have to stretch some pixels in unintended ways to make it fit. You're almost better off with a 1080p image on a 1080p screen then a 1440p image on a 4K screen. Almost...
I'm pretty much a beginner in this stuff I did some research and I decided on a 2k 34 incher. Lo and behold I stumbled upon this video
So investing in a 4k 120hz hdmi 2.1 isnt worth it?
I was planning on getting the ultragear for my ps5.
I think it comes down to how you are going to use the monitor and what you play. Obviously if you are using this monitor for other stuff like design, video, watching movies then the 4K element has more of a payoff, but all that stuff will never go over 60fps anyway. So it really comes down to what you play. There are VERY few games that support 4K above 60fps. That being said, there may be games you play where you don't care about having a high refresh rate, you just want to play it in 4K. So if you are the type of player that likes to bounce between a slow paced game at 4K/60fps and then play something like Call of Duty at 1440p/120fps then an HDMI 2.1 monitor makes a lot more sense.
@@TechAuditTV I was so surprised how good higher refresh rate was, I went from a 60hz to 165hz and expected to not even notice, don't think I'll move away from 1440p for a really long while as it's the perfect sweet spot unless you need a large display
@@TechAuditTV are 4k monitors good at downscaling to 1440p? or can they?
@@reddot6217 I am curious about that too.
@@cuneytkorkmaz4525 ive heard that it wouldn’t be good to get a 4k monitor for downscaling to 1440p because its not a 1 to 1 or something like that.
Hi is this a good monitor for Xbox series x ( 200 Hz) is 30" ok
MSI Optix MAG301CR2 Full HD 30" Curved Gaming Monitor - Black
@TechAuditTV you will be sad, since you’re not using the full potential out of your ps5 or XSX with a 1440p screen. I tried and experience stuttery / choppy frame rate issues when playing warzone on both consoles. You need a 4k monitor with hdmi 2.1 and VRR if you want a buttery smooth gameplay and amazing graphics. Sorry dude but your conclusion sucks. And why wait? Just buy a good 4k monitor of 500-600€ and you’re good to go, prices have dropped now meanwhile.
Bro how must I wait literally gta 6 is coming out in 2 years and I still don't have hdr tv
What if you want use your console to watch 4k movies?
What if I want a 4K 120hz monitor and have money to burn? Also wouldn’t buying this monitor even though I’m spending more save me from having to buy a new one when the next gen drops?
If a monitor is expensive today, it will likely become cheaper in the future, but new features will be added, making newer models more expensive. You can get the monitor If you want that 120hz it's up to you.
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.
I’m not tech savvy but to get 120hz at 1440p on the latest console you need hdmi 2.1. Am I missing something or is this video bad?
You don't need HDMI 2.1 for 1440p 120hz on consoles
The hdmi that comes with ps5 is a 2.1 not many people know that
Good information 👍
I just did this. I can't believe how much better the games look on my 1440p 27" monitor. I mean, better clarity and refresh rate. I have been gaming on a 55" LG C1 oled. Great TV! But most PS5 games can't out put native 4k, and the upscaling is lacking with some games. PSSR has a ways to go before it gets better. So 1440p is easier for PSSR to upscal to. And the 1ms 180hz is great as well. Alan Wake 2 looks awesome and crisp. The ips color looks great as well.
I get what you’re saying and I am trying to buy one for my ps5 rn but Im building a pc slowly so do you still recommend not getting a 4k?
Nvm you pretty much answered my question my b lol
Thx for been honest with people
whats your thoughts on 1440 ultrawide on consoles?
Most consoles don't support ultra wide. It'll put borders on the sides
I have the neo g8 that I got at a great deal for like 500 bucks and it's way better than a 1440p. I can literally see the difference in graphics and most of the games I play run 120hz 4k. I am on PlayStation so it's not like I would get more framerate running 1440p. I agree, I probably wouldn't spend over a 1000 dollars for a 4k but I'm glad I got this monitor for a steal.
What are the games you play then
You are not playing any game in 4K 120hz, 99% of the 120hz games on PS5 runs at 1440p or lower.
