60hz 120 hz

Hey all, 

I'm a bit desperate. I got this display: https://www.newegg.ca/black-gigabyte-gs32qc-31-5/p/N82E16824012068?Item=N82E16824012068c 

But, as with the other monitor I bought with similar specs, the input lag is somehow worst than my TV. 

My TV is not a gaming focused TV by any means. I bought it for 800$ so I don't think it's because my TV is better than the monitor in terms of gaming performance. 

What could explain that the input lag is worst on a gaming monitor? 

I tried messing with the setting on PS5 and the monitor, but nothing conclusive. 

Any input?

@WillygeezI know this sounds weird but I hope you have a PC you can use. Maybe see if there are drivers to update the monitor. Sometimes monitors need updates before you even use them. Also not 100% familiar with the PS5 settings. Like on Xbox I can do lots when it comes to the video modes like having low latency mode, VRR, HDR stuff, rrefresh rate. If you could post a picture of your options on PS5 that would be helpful maybe. I also assumed you tinkered with the monitor settings too?

From reading around it also seems having the graphics in 1440 disables VRR.  Not sure if it's changed since a little over a year ago.

And on one of the reviews someone suggests these settings.....

Resolution: 2560 X1440

Black Equalizer: 11 ( must be 11 to completely delete any slight "ghosting/smearing" . 11 is optimal for color as well ) Very important you do not leave it 10 or less.

Overdrive : set it to "picture quality" or " balance" Up to you and your eyes.

Refresh rate : 165hz

AMD Freesync ( or nvid g-sync, doesn't matter, use what you prefer ) Set to ON

SDR - ON

Brightness : 62

Contrast: 50

Sharpness: 8

Gamma : Gamma 4

Overclock : OFF

Low Blue Light: 0 or 1 or 2 or 3, i can't really tell the difference

Color Temperature: User define = Red 93 Green 96 Blue 100 adjust to your preference of course

Super Resolution : 0 i dont use it . feel free to experiment

Color Vibrance = 15

I unfortunately don't have a PC. I just tried plugging in my mac at it shows that the monitor is indeed capable of going to 144hz (if that means anything). 

PS5 has all of what you just said. Here's what happened when I tried playing around with it: 

- Low latency mode (says that my "Tv doesn"t support this mode") 

- VRR (says that my "Tv doesn"t support this mode")

- HRD (I tried turning it on and off to see if it changed anything, but nothing really) 

- Refresh Rate: I set it to automatic 120hz for games that do support it. NHL doesn't so I don't really mess with that. 

I didn't take this screenshot, but it shows basically all the options I have. 

As for the monitor's settings, I did try to mess around with all the sliders you mentioned below. But nothing really came from it. 

I feel like there might be something wrong with my Ps5...it feels way more difficult than it should be to just find a monitor on which I can play the game smoothly. 

I often play at my best friend's, who plays on a Samsung TV and the game is the smoothest I've ever played it. 

@WillygeezYeah Samsung TVs are pretty great. I'm sure he spent a pretty penny on it too. I know my console I got is actually designed they claim for PS5/XSX. It doesn't seem like you have a ton of options with Sony I will post what I can do with my console.

Here are my setting options on Xbox.
