You can get the contrast of OLED and the detail of 4K without buying the most expensive gaming monitor. A console has little use for a 240Hz headline on its own; screen size, HDMI modes and what else you connect are better reasons to spend more. These are the cheapest current offers that meet the guide’s 4K and HDMI criteria.

Exact model: PRO MAX 271UPX12G
4K at the console’s 120Hz target
The PRO MAX 271UPX12G is a compact 4K OLED with a 120Hz native ceiling. MSI specifies 4K at 120Hz over its HDMI 2.1 inputs, which fits current console gaming without paying for unused 240Hz headroom. USB-C video is present for a laptop, though it supplies only 15W.
Exact model: UM.GXXAA.109
A compact console screen that also runs fast PC games
The X27 X1 puts 4K on 26.5 inches and reaches 240Hz when a capable PC is connected. Its HDMI 2.1 input makes it relevant to a console too, while 65W USB-C video and a KVM give the screen a second job on a laptop desk.
Exact model: PRO MAX 271UPXW12G
Console gaming beside a full laptop setup
This white PRO MAX stays at 4K 120Hz, a useful ceiling for console play. Its stronger reason to pay more than for the 271UPX12G is at the desk: USB-C video supplies 98W and a KVM shares peripherals with a second computer.
Exact model: UM.GXXAA.110
Glossy 27-inch 4K without laptop extras
Acer’s X27 V1 gives console games a sharp 4K image on a compact glossy screen and adds a 165Hz ceiling for PC play. It keeps to HDMI and DisplayPort, so a laptop needs its own charging and peripheral arrangement.
Exact model: UM.JXXAA.201
A larger view from the sofa or deep desk
The X32 V2 spreads 4K across 31.5 inches, easier to enjoy from farther back than the cheaper 27-inch Acer models. HDMI 2.1 keeps it in the console conversation, and its 165Hz maximum leaves some room for PC games without paying for 240Hz.
