4k 120 Hz monitors it's time for the new gen console players to finally get what they deserve
the ultimate gaming experience, high quality, high speed and low latency. This also applies
to PC and mac gamers as well there's a lot of 4k 120 Hz monitors out there but a lot of them are
bad and the rest are very expensive but I found 5 options that are amazing for their price in 2022
they have everything you need and more but watch out there's something important you got to know
xbox series x and ps5 are only compatible with hdmi ports but most monitors have display ports
so to connect your console to a 4k 120 hertz monitor and get the full resolution and frames
per second the monitor will have to have an hdmi 2.1 port which specifically has to be
2.1 2.0 will not run 120 hz if you're a pc player then you will need a display port 1.4
any less than 1.4 and you will not be able to utilize the full specs of the monitor
I have the links for the five monitors in the description below and now that we have that out
of the way we can start with the best cheapest 4k 120hz gaming monitor currently available
in the market at around only 600 dollars, the acer predator xb273k coming in 27 and 28 inch options
this monitor is an amazing budget option it has nvidia g-sync to prevent screen tearing
and reduce stuttering 4k resolution for crisp imaging alongside a 400 display hdr 90% dci p3
giving reasonable color enhancements and a strong color gamut and of course 144 hz to reduce motion
blur practically to zero now this monitor has an ips panel and ips panels have one small problem
they have weaker contrast which means that in the dark the black levels will look a little more gray
instead of black keep in mind if you try open a black screen in the dark you will be able to
see this issue more clearly but don't worry you will hardly notice this problem when you are in
game and playing this problem is going to occur in almost all ips panels not just the acer predator
and if you want a 4k 120 hertz monitor that is not an ips panel then you will have to pay
big bucks for it normally it's not worth the trade-off but on the flip side if your room is
bright this monitor will be able to handle that quite efficiently thanks to the exterior design
of the shade shield which also looks pretty cool at the same time even while gaming in hdr mode
brightness is decent with a low input lag of around 5 milliseconds this monitor is purely
designed for enhanced gaming although it has a fan to keep it cool the fan is very quiet you
won't even notice it's there with small bezels of 0.5 inches you will be able to immerse yourself in
the screen and nowhere else overall it's a great monitor that can also multitask in office work and
multimedia watching it works best in bright rooms but is still relatively good in the dark but what
amazes me is that for the price you even get extra features it has really nice rgb lighting which can
switch between red blue orange or off and the monitor even has speakers in case you wanted to
watch something with headphones as for the ports it comes with a display port 1.4 and one hdmi 2.0
the hdmi port is not enough for console gamers meaning that if you are a console player you will
have to wait for the last three options it also has 4 usb 3 ports and an audio 3.5 millimeter port
coming up next in number 4 is an option from asus at around 700 the asus rog strix 27 inches 4k
144hz gaming monitor if it's from asus then you know it's good and reliable very similar to the
last option this monitor has everything you will need in a gaming monitor with 4k providing more
details and 144 hertz providing less motion blur your aim is going to get around 22 percent better
you will also enjoy the experience thanks to the ability to see all the details as well as well
as the reasonable hdr technology providing you with hdr 490 dci p3 as well the rog strix is also
g-sync compatible keep in mind that although the screen is 144 hertz if you use an xbox series x
or ps5 you will be kept at 120 hertz it's not a problem since this monitor is g-sync compatible
and will cap the screen at 120 with no screen tearing but what makes this monitor better than
the last one is the input lag this option has a whopping 1 millisecond input lag and since it also
has an ips panel the contrast ratio is a little weaker once again it works great in bright rooms
but not so great in dark rooms nevertheless its black levels are stronger than the acer predator
now this monitor has a bigger brother who has some extra features but costs around 300 dollars more
the bigger brother has better ergonomics it can move in many directions and rotate and also has
a super cool rock strix led light shining under the monitor so if you can afford the extra few
hundred bucks you might want to consider getting the bigger brother who is called xg27uq without
the r at the end what a name but if you are looking for a budget then stick to the smaller
brother here are some ports with this monitor 2 db 1.4 ports 2 hdmi 2.0 ports and 2 usb 3 ports
this monitor has no speakers either next up is number three quite a famous monitor at around 800
the samsung odyssey g70a coming in 28 inches this monitor is guaranteed to make you happy
with the native freesync certified by nvidia to be g-sync compatible as well as a 2.1 hdmi
port this monitor will be the simplest option with the least hassle to connect to your console don't
mistake this monitor with the odyssey g7 which is a curved monitor this monitor is not it also has
an ips panel sadly this monitor has weak contrast and weak black uniformity levels too apart from
that its 4k quality is superb and the hdr 400 is also good at this price range with 4 milliseconds
input lag and very low response times you will be able to hit the trigger at the exact right moment
ergonomics are not too bad either you can rotate the screen clockwise tilt it between negative 12.5
and 10 degrees and swivel it 15 degrees each side it has rgb lighting both in the front and the back
but they are not so strong the back lights won't really show clearly as for the ports the odyssey
g70a has one 1.4 dp port as well as two hdmi 2.1 ports making it the first option in the list with
the hdmi 2.1 port also has two usb 3 ports overall this option has the smartest look and will elevate
any gaming setup or battle station number two is also an asus monitor the ace is tough gaming
28 inch monitor my favourite option at around 800 dollars maybe because it has one millisecond input
lag or maybe because the bezels are so freaking thin once again a 4k 144hz monitor which is g-sync
compatible and freesync premium with the 1.4 dp port and 2 hdmi 2.1 ports 2 hdmi 2.0 ports and a
usb 3 port this option is the winner for the most effective connections although the panel is an
ips panel somehow this monitor has a little better contrast and dark uniformity levels in comparison
to the last options thanks to the asus extreme low motion blur sync the elmb technology it enables
the monitor to work simultaneously to eliminate ghosting and tearing for sharp gaming visuals
with high fps you can rotate this monitor tilt it swivel it and adjust the height or you could just
mount it on a wall whatever is more convenient for you 28 inches is a little bigger than the standard
inch options and although it is a small difference you will enjoy it as for the problems of the asus
stuff well some people are getting dead pixels in their monitors it is very rare however if it does
happen you will very likely be able to exchange it for one that has no issues the monitor doesn't
have any rgb and the hdr levels are a little faulty when used while gaming meaning that it will
be better to play with sdr standard definition but don't worry it's still 4k and finally coming
in number one is the best budget 4k 120 hertz monitor option available at around less than
750 dollars the gigabyte m32u144 hertz monitor at a whopping 32 inches this monitor is amazing for
a few reasons it has a dci p3 of 90 with a vesa display hdr 400 with these stats this monitor
should cost above a thousand hdr 400 enhances the colors and handles extreme brightness with ease
as long as it's not concentrated brightness the color gamut on it is very high quality and
doesn't even need calibration however its black uniformity levels are terrible so you will have to
have a light on in the room when you're using this monitor you can overclock this monitor to 144hz
however this only works for pc players console players will not be able to exceed the 120hz
limit for their playstation and xbox this monitor works not just for gaming but is great for office
work and watching movies and series the bezels are extremely thin with the fastest response times in
the list it will make up for the slower input lag which is around 5 milliseconds
the ports are dp 1.4 2 hdmi 2.1 and 2 usb 3 ports the monitor has speakers but no rgb lights
finally I have to repeat this even though all monitors in this list are ips panels
you won't notice the ips problems in normal use you will only notice it if the content is very
dark so if you're using the monitor mainly for gaming you will not really have problems
however if you like watching horror movies which have a lot of dark scenes
then you will have to find a different monitor sadly all other monitors are double or triple
the price of ips monitors making them hardly worth the price for their quality increase
if you're looking for the cheapest option that will get the job done then the acer predator will
be your go-to option if you need good ergonomics and a lot of ports then the samsung odyssey g70a
will be just what you need but if you need a clear screen with thin bezels then go for the asus tuff
here is a comparison chart to help you in making your decision on what monitor to go for
