Hear me out - I think you should consider a 1080p monitor for your PS5 this Black Friday

To many of you, the idea of playing PS5 on a 1080p might sound a bit bananas. I mean, why on earth would you splash out on Sony's latest console and not max out its 4K capabilities? Well, that's a question I've been trying to challenge lately, and I've come to the conclusion that it might sometimes be better to scale back to good old full HD.

Before I dive into my thoughts on 1080p setups, I want to stress that my best PS5 monitor pick is a 4K model. That's because many players out there are going to want a UHD display that lets Sony's latest system stretch its legs. But, there are certainly a lot of fans out there who either won't have the funds for an ultra-high-definition panel or have other visual priorities, and I want to encourage the latter group to embrace their need for lower-spec screens.
