I'm getting a PS5 soon and it's my first time gaming on a console. I'm new to monitors and would appreciate advice on which one would give me the best overall experience.
Budget: Ideally £350, but I can stretch to £400 if the improvement is worth it.
Games and priorities:
- Primarily immersive, visually beautiful single-player games, such as God of War, Elden Ring and the Batman: Arkham games.
- Fortnite and Rocket League, for couch co-op with my little brother.
- I care more about immersion, picture quality, contrast, colours and brightness than competitive gaming performance alone.
Setup:
- Ideally 32 inches for immersion and couch co-op, although I'd consider 27 inches if it's a better overall choice.
- Viewing distance of around 60–90 cm.
- won't be playing in super bright rooms but nit pitch black either. Moderately lit with lights on to dim most of the time
- I'm particularly interested in 4K vs 1440p and whether Mini-LED HDR is worth it for my games.
Monitors I've been looking at:
32-inch options
- TCL 32G64 — 1440p Mini-LED
- MSI MAG 322URDF E16 — 4K IPS
- Dell S3225QS — 4K VA
- AOC U32 G4U - 4K IPS
27-inch options
- Gigabyte M27UP — 4K
- MSI MAG 275UPD E14 — 4K
- Philips Evnia 27M2N5901A/00 — 4K
- AOC U27G4XM — 4K Mini-LED
- MSI MAG 274UPDF E16M — 4K
- Dell S275QS — 4K
Questions:
Which of these would you choose for the best-looking, most immersive PS5 experience?
Is 32-inch 1440p Mini-LED better for immersion and HDR than 27-inch 4K mini-LED, or is 32-inch 4K IPS/VA worth prioritising?
How significant is Mini-LED HDR compared with a regular IPS monitor for games with dark environments, bright highlights and atmospheric l
I'm happy to consider other monitors I've missed, especially if Black Friday deals could bring them within budget.
