4. MSI MAG 275UPD E14
Best for: 4K dual-mode with HDMI 2.1 on an Amazon-sold MSI

PS5 and Xbox Series X both want HDMI 2.1 if you want 4K at 120Hz with VRR. A 27-inch 4K panel is sharp for a desk and easier to drive than a giant TV. I’ve stuck to dual-mode IPS monitors that list HDMI 2.1 and a 4K high-refresh path – not the 1440p OLED set on our 1440p gaming monitors guide. (Here’s how we choose products.)
- Best overall: Philips Evnia 27M2N3800A (#1)
- Best Gigabyte alternative: Gigabyte G27UP (#2)
- Best LG UltraGear 4K: LG UltraGear G8 27G81ZA (#3)
- Best MSI dual-mode 4K: MSI MAG 275UPD E14 (#4)
- Best Evnia step-up: Philips Evnia 27M2N5901A (#5)

FAQ
Will these do 4K 120Hz on PS5 / Series X?
Both listings advertise HDMI 2.1 and console-friendly 4K high-refresh paths. You still need a certified Ultra High Speed HDMI cable and the right console HDMI settings.
Why not OLED?
Our shortlisted OLED options were third-party / low-stock when we checked. See 1440p gaming monitors for OLED QHD picks instead.
Do they include a UK power lead?
Monitor power leads vary. We don’t claim a UK plug unless the listing states it – check the product images and Q&A before ordering.
