    @Rockafettpappa this ASUS PG320UQ is only couple $100(usd) more and you get way better picture quality for that extra $. It’s what I ordered after watching every review possible. M32U is what I was close to purchasing till I revisited them all again and every single review said the couple $100 extra for the p320uq was worth it, and to me, if you’re already dropping around $750usd on a monitor you might as well drop tiny bit more for a significantly better screen. I’ll also add up until recently M32U had a 9.5ms refresh rate while the ASUS had 4ms, which is significant (imo) However GB recently dropped a firmware update that dropped it down to 4.5ms.

M32U if you don’t mind sacrificing and saving the $100-$200 is significant to you, if 100-200 isn’t significant spend a little extra and get noticeable better colors/picture quality with the ASUS option.

    Been playing on a 144hz monitor for like a year now. Mostly bought it for fortnite. While I think the high refresh does help a lot in competitive gaming, for regular use it’s not that big a difference. It’s definitely not a day and night feature as a lot of people make it out to be. VRR though I think is a feature most people would benefit of.

    Something I notice nobody says about with most 1440p monitors is that it'll take a 4k 60hz image and down sample it into a 1440p image. So technically most 1440p monitors will display 1440p on ps5 and is a great work around until it supports it natively later this year. And of course you can still play 120fps games at 1080p on it. The fact you can get a 1440p 120hz+ monitor for about half the price of a 4k 120hz+ monitor I really don't know why you'd spend the extra money especially with as you said most 120 games don't hit 4k but I'd bet a lot of them will be 1440p 120hz when the update comes as is the case with series x already

    I wouldn't worry, as the guy was touching on in the videos, 120fps isn't going to be the standard on this new gen of console, it's a novelty. As the new gen marches on and games get more demanding we'll probably be seeing even less games that support 120fps on console and those that do will certainly be tanking other features (HDR, resolution, ray tracing etc) to be able to push 120fps. 60fps has been and will always be the target frame rate for this gen. 120fps will probably be pushed for next gen by which point 2.1 hdmi monitors and TVs will be considerably cheaper.

    Just purchased a 2k 140hz 27" monitor with HDMI 2.0 ports for $250 for standard desk/pc use and xbox gaming recently. Decided that 4k with hdmi 2.1 wasn't worth it for a small 27" used for desk and up close gaming. 2.1 is only needed for 4k gaming with 4k and higher resolutions at more 120hz or more. If I had to get a bigger display, or a big TV, I would definitely go for 4k with HDMI 2.1. Upgrading from 1080p 60hz, to 1440p 120hz was absolutely worth it for me at an affordable price point. Paying $500 + for a 4K 27" or lower monitor is a waste of money IMO.

    You have tempted me Tom, can you answer a question… I’m running the PS5 and Xbox Series X off a expensive 2016 Samsung UHD 4k TV, it ticks all the boxes on the Series X with the exception of 4k at 120hz, however, playing Forza Horizon 5, which yes looks great, I can still see an issue with a faint white line around the tyres when at speed, something that isn’t an issue in Forza Horizon 4 or 3. So would upgrading my tv remedy this minor issue, it’s almost as if it’s a reflection issue, and more prominent in lighter colour cars such as white. I like my 40” Samsung but after watching your reviews I’m torn between a smaller screen (Gaming Monitor) or something larger like the LG C1, I don’t know what way to go 😝. Thanks. Tommy

    This is not a trivial question, and definitively there is more to it than meets the eye. With PS5 you really want to have a monitor that can do 4k60 and 1080p120 with 10bit color in the panel itself. No dithering needed, and this can be met with HDMI 2.0. The problem is that there are very few reasonably priced good panels available, regardless of 2.0 or 2.1. The Asus TUF, Gigabyte M28U etc. are good 2.1 options with more reasonable price, but they use 8bit panel, which I consider a limitation especially on 1080p where dithering is not as good. The LG 950 GN (2.0) and GP (2.10 both have the 10 bit panel to meet the spec, but are more expensive. Then there are some very expensive choices on top of these. In any case, I would only go for HDMI 2.1 versions, it is far more versatile than 2.0.

    Yuck, Ips glow. 2160 pixels on such a small 27 screen? 42inch 4k has 102 ppi, sharp. Why would anyone waste those pixels on a tiny display?

    Makes no sense, theres barely a single game that runs at an actual 4k 120fps on these consoles. Ive got a 3090 and can't get any recent AAA game to run at 4k120. I can do 4k60 locked at medium-high.

    True and they are not cheap right now. The only reason i want a 4k 144 hz monitor is to be able to play 4k 120 hz on console and when I want to play competitive games i can switch to my laptop and play 1440p 144hz.

    If it's not HDR 10, can you adjust the brightness, contrast etc?. Or is it just generally more brighter and vibrant?. I have a 2.0 monitor and the HDR 10 is awful. It makes the colours pop but it's way too dark in dark scenes. You can't see certain objects like you should beable to. I don't have it on.

    Just bought the Eve Spectrum 4K. For a PC gamer HDMI 2.1 monitors are absolutely worth it if you already have a high-end GPU and want to play at 4K and high refresh rates without chroma subsampling or using DSC. Being able to play at 4K 120Hz with full HDR and no compromises is amazing, and unlike consoles all games support 4K 120Hz because PC. :)
