Would this be a good monitor for console gaming null

No, this would not. Consoles can’t take advantage of this monitor’s two best and most expensive features, gsync and 240hz display capability. This is also only a 1080p monitor and is not HDR compatible which both the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X do support. This is a monitor designed for competitive PC gaming and really nothing besides that. I personally have this and it’s wonderful for PC but I have a samsung 4K monitor for my console.

Its a good monitor for anything, but being a 240Hz monitor will not particularly benefit console gaming . Its fact that consoles only output 30-60fps, when connected to a computer gaming or watching a movie on this is where this monitor shines... While connected to a device that can output 240hz.

Not really If you have ps4 pro or xbox one x a 4k monitor is a better choice

Yes, but a little overkill. With console you don’t need anything with a refresh rate higher than 60hz

It's 1080p so it's great unless you have one of the new 4k consoles

Definitely not. The best consoles on the market right now can only run at 60fps maximum and this monitor is meant for high powered PCs

Definitely buy it. It's got 240 hertz and excellent color. I play GTA 5 on it along with watching movies and youtube clips. Even Youtube with 4K. Attached is what it looks like.

cannot get above 60hz on this monitor for console due to HDMI 1.4 port and requires 2.0 HDMI port for higher hertz using HDMI only. however PC this monitor is beast!.. I get 240 hertz with 300+ fps on most battle royale games using DP (display port).

Wouldn't be worth it. At this point console games all run at 60 fps. This monitor does 240. You can't set up a console game to use the full potential of the gaming monitor

no, definitely not for consoles. The main selling point this has is 240hz, which no console will be able to do for many years. To make the most of this monitor it would need to be used with a high-ish end gaming pc.

yes this would be an awesome monitor for gaming
