Monitors that work with the PS5 and its 120Hz performance mode aren’t explicitly advertised except by a few brands. The 4K 144Hz variants with HDMI 2.1 will naturally work, but they are expensive and limited in availability. There’s also the conundrum of the limited number of games that support the full 4K 120Hz so there’s no hurry in spending the extra now.

As such, 1080p or even 1440p monitors might be a better and more practical pick until 4K 120Hz with PS5 games fully kicks off. All you need is a variant with HDMI 2.0 which is enough to allow the console to switch to its 1080p 120Hz performance mode. However, it’s not as simple as buying an HDMI 2.1 monitor which will work on the spot.

Not all gaming monitors with HDMI 2.0 work with this mode for various reasons such as firmware versions or even the design of its control module. Ways to confirm aren’t readily available, so some might have to resort to testing if results aren’t available online. Buying one monitor yourself to do so isn’t advisable since you could run into issues during the returns and exchange process.

We’ve gathered the known monitors in a list that will point you in the right direction. These monitors have all been tested by various sources, although some might need firmware updates or software updates on the PS5. It’s also worth ensuring that you are using a quality HDMI cable, but the included one in the PS5’s or the monitor’s package should suffice.
