Hello, I want to buy a new 2K monitor for my PS5. I saw a great deal on "VG272UP" in my region. I searched almost everywhere but I couldn't find a information about this monitör able to with 4k 60Hz and 1080P 120Hz on PS5? Some users say 4K 60Hz is okay but it doesn't work with 1080P 120Hz.
Anyone uses this monitor recently?

    Here's the relevant numbers from the specsheet. If your GPU is capable of driving FHD1080p or UHD4K at 144Hz, it should follow.

    Thank you for answering. I'm using Playstation 5 not a pc so I don't have a graphic card.

    So basically Acer VG272UP doesn't support 120/60Hz which Playstation 5 can't recognise the monitor. Only 4K 60Hz and 1080P 60Hz. It's sad.

    I'm so confused right now. I wish somebody confirm that VG272UP fully compatible with Playstation 5.

    I'm not sure what you're confused about? The playstation must have a GPU to have a video output at a certain resolution and frequency. The playstation 5 has an FHD 1080p output at 120Hz. The monitor can certainly handle 1080p up to 144Hz. It will also handle QHD 2560x1440 up to 144Hz. As far as I know the higher resolutions on the playstation 5 will only run a 30Hz which might not be practical for many games.

    The PS5 does a few weird things to give 120Hz over an HDMI port. The monitor needs to be HDMI 2.1, HDMI 2.0 will not work at 120Hz with the PS5. Early PS5 systems had more trouble than later ones though, so if yours is fairly new it shouldn't be a big problem. I don't have access to full specs on the VG272UP since it's not offered in the USA, so I can't verify it has an HDMI 2.1 port. Note that in most cases the DP port will handle better output than HDMI, so full specs on that model might only be in DP, and the PS5 doesn't have DP.
