The PS5 renders many games at 4K and can push up to 120 frames per second in supported titles, so the monitor you pair with it should keep up. A true HDMI 2.1 input is the single most important spec: it carries 4K at 120Hz and enables VRR, which the PS5 uses to smooth out frame pacing. Without it you are limited to 4K at 60Hz, or 120Hz only at lower resolutions.
Beyond the port, weigh resolution against budget. Native 4K gives the sharpest image on a large screen, while a high-refresh 1440p panel is a sensible middle ground the PS5 supports well. Factor in HDR quality, response time and input lag for fast games, then size the panel for your viewing distance at a desk. The factors below break down each decision.
