Is there any gaming monitors that support PS5 or Xbox X series now?
What to recommended?

Or wait to buy? How long before to arrive?

You could always get an HDMI to Display Port cable depending on the monitor.

As an example, I have a gaming monitor that has DP and supports variable refresh up to 120hz and is 3440x1440p. Granted, it's also an ultrawide and I don't know if consoles support that.

However, there are some that are over 34" and 4k HDR, but don't have HDMI 2.1. They do have DP 1.4 which supports everything. See below.

It's probably best to wait and see which aspect ratios are supported by the consoles and games. It seems people are optimistic that there will be support 21:9 or 32:9.

Monoprice just released a 49" gaming monitor today. That seems like a lot of real estate for $900.
 
I would probably wait a bit to see what starts coming out. I heard LG was going to be launching some monitors later this year that support HDMI 2.1. Unfortunately most monitors are around 27-32in unless you opt for ultra wide, but we still don’t have enough information released from Xbox or Sony as to what resolutions or frame rates they will support.
 
OK, i might wait then with monitor...
I have already bought this cable
“SIKAI High Definition Multimedia Interface Cable Compatible with LG TV 48Gbps Ultra High Speed 8K 4K 4320P UHD HDR Cable for Samsung QLED TV, Apple TV, VIZIO TV 8m” - https://www.amazon.de/dp/B07MKN4L8L/ref=pe_3044161_185740101_TE_item

No problem with ultra wide, but nice with support from ps5/xbox x series

I can not find any HDMI to DisplayPort cable that support 120hz and 3440x1440p.
Not a cable or converter...

Well, not sure how the new consoles will handle ultrawide resolutions, but with the HDMI 2.1 standard still being somewhat rare on video cards/tv/AVR it's not a suprise that cables aren't readily available. I did find adapters though, which work just fine, but no mention of 21:9 resolution.

If it were me, I'd grab a small-ish OLED that supports HDMI 2.1 and variable refresh and call it a day. If you're stuck on LCD you could do the same, but I'm not aware of any that support variable refresh (those features are usually reserved for the higher end models that tend to also be large).

What all do you plan to hook up with this display?
