What is the best tv for PS5? Additional Information for Television Buyers

Refresh rate

You ideally want to match a PS5 with a 120Hz TV. This means it can fresh its screen image up to 120 times a second. The PS5 plays some games at 120 frames per second, so you need a TV with a 120Hz refresh rate to actually serve up the action at same pace as the console.

Do you need a special TV for PS5?

The most straightforward answer is if your TV has a minimum of a 720p resolution and somewhere to stick an HDMI 2.0 or 2.1 cable, your TV should work fine with a PS5.

Is any 4K TV good for PS5?

Much has been made of the PS5 and Xbox Series X's ability to output high-frame-rate 4K, that's to say 4K at 120fps, but for the most part, we think it's more realistic to expect 4K at 60fps at least for the foreseeable. The good news is that all modern 4K TVs of note have HDMI connectivity supporting 4K at 60fps.

Is 4K 60fps TV good for PS5?

120 frames-per-second is now possible with PS5, but you need the correct TV to go alongside the console. All 4K televisions can support up to 60 frames-per-second, but if you want to double that, you must purchase a 4K TV with HDMI 2.1 and 120Hz support.

Which is better OLED or LED?

In terms of picture quality, OLED TVs still beat LED TVs, even though the latter technology has seen many improvements of late. OLED is also lighter and thinner, uses less energy, offers the best viewing angle by far, and, though still a little more expensive, has come down in price considerably.

Is HDMI 2.1 worth it for PS5?

Not only does HDMI 2.1 allow for better frame rates, but it also means you can transfer any 4K or 8K images from your new console to your TV (if it can support those resolutions, that is). But one major caveat is that 8K gameplay will be limited to 60fps.

What does HDMI 2.1 do for PS5?

The PS5 includes HDMI 2.1, though some feature are yet to be enabled. HDMI 2.1 supports three very attractive features for those who own PS5 and Xbox Series X consoles. These are Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM), and 120Hz gaming at 4K

Do you need a 4K monitor for PS5?

Unfortunately, the PS5 doesn't support native 1440p, only 1080p and 4K UHD. The vast majority of 1440p monitors will be read by the PS5 as 1080p and perform as such - don't worry, we've tested it and it still looks marvellous.

Is OLED best for gaming?

OLED displays have an excellent response time and refresh rate for video games, making them one of the best types of displays for playing games. Displays with a low response time and high refresh rate (120+ Hz) are recommended to have the best experience, so this is a perfect type of TV for your needs.
