Best Monitor for GTA 6
Works for both platforms this site covers: PC and console. A good gaming monitor and a good gaming TV need almost the same specs, the difference is what fits your room and your reflexes.

Monitor or TV?
| Monitor | TV | |
|---|---|---|
| Input lag | Typically lower, even with Game Mode off | Low with ALLM/Game Mode on, higher without it |
| Screen size | 24–34", desk distance | 42"+, couch distance |
| Refresh rate ceiling | Often 240Hz+ at 1440p | Usually tops out at 120–165Hz |
| HDR quality | Improving, still usually behind flagship OLED TVs | Higher peak brightness and deeper contrast on OLED/Mini-LED flagship TVs |
| Best for | Desk setups, PC players, anyone prioritizing responsiveness | Living-room console setups, cinematic HDR |
If you already have a good gaming TV, see our TV guide instead. The specs below (HDMI 2.1, VRR, ALLM) matter identically on both.
What to look for, by platform
- Console (PS5/Xbox): HDMI 2.1, 4K at 120Hz, VRR, ALLM, identical requirements to the TV guide. A monitor gets you those specs at a lower price than an equivalent TV, just smaller.
- PC: the same HDMI 2.1/VRR checklist, plus check for G-Sync or FreeSync Premium compatibility matching your GPU, and consider 1440p at high refresh (165Hz+) over 4K if your card isn't in the RTX 4080/RX 7900 XTX tier. A game like GTA 6 will hit higher framerates at 1440p than 4K on the same hardware.
