7 best gaming monitors and TVs for PS5 VRR | 91mobiles.com

Sony recently began rolling out a new update for PS5, which brings the much-anticipated variable refresh rate (VRR) support. VRR will significantly improve visual quality in games that support the feature. At launch, there won’t be a lot of PS5 games that support VRR, but more games are expected to get VRR support soon. Gameplay experience in games like Call of Duty: Vanguard, Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, Resident Evil Village, Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege, Destiny 2, and others will be even better on PS5, thanks to VRR.

What is PS5 VRR?

Variable refresh rate enhances your gaming experience by eliminating screen tearing. PS5 VRR will sync your monitor’s or TV’s display to the console’s output to stop screen tearing without affecting gaming performance. VRR will also enhance gameplay in games that suffer from frequent stuttering and frame drops to offer a much more consistent experience. VRR is an important feature for gamers who want a smooth gaming experience without any visual oddities.
