The 7 Best TVs For PS5 - Summer 2024 Reviews

The best TV for PS5 that we've tested is the Samsung S90C OLED. It's a fantastic TV that delivers an incredible gaming experience. Fast-paced action games look outstanding thanks to the nearly instantaneous response time, so there's almost no noticeable blur or ghosting behind fast-moving objects. Its input lag is extremely low, which makes for extremely responsive gaming. It's bright and colorful in HDR and SDR, so your games look great, especially in a dark room. Due to its HDMI 2.1 bandwidth ports, the TV can take full advantage of everything the PS5 offers, including 4k @ 120Hz gaming in games that support it. And if you're also a PC gamer, the Samsung can reach 4k @ 144Hz on all its HDMI ports.

If you'd like an OLED TV that is part of Sony's 'Perfect for PS5' lineup, which includes a few Sony-exclusive features designed for PS5 gamers, look up the more expensive Sony A95L OLED. It has Auto HDR Tone Mapping, which automatically optimizes the HDR settings for your TV, ensuring you get the best HDR experience possible without manually adjusting the settings. However, it has worse input lag than the Samsung model, so gaming isn't as responsive, and the TV is much more expensive. You could also opt for the higher-end Samsung S95C OLED, which is brighter than the S90C, but its price premium is not worth it for most people.

The Samsung S90D/S90DD OLED is now available. It has better HDR gradient handling, gets brighter in HDR, and does a better job smoothing out low-quality content. It's also currently a lot more expensive, so unless you want those small upgrades, you're better off buying the cheaper S90C while it's on sale. It's worth mentioning that Samsung's 2024 OLED lineup is confusing, as they're releasing S90Ds with both WOLED and QD-OLED panels, depending on the region and size. You can read more about this here.

The Sony BRAVIA 9 QLED is the best TV for the PS5 if you prefer to game in a bright room, and it's the best overall LED TV we've ever tested. It features a Mini LED backlight that allows it to get extremely bright, and it has superb reflection handling, so it easily overcomes glare in the brightest rooms. The TV also looks amazing in a dark room due to its incredible local dimming solution that delivers blacks that are close to what you get on OLEDs, with almost no blooming. Its impressive contrast and brightness lead to a very impactful HDR experience whether you're watching movies or gaming.

It has a 120Hz panel with HDMI 2.1 bandwidth on two of its HDMI ports, meaning you can play 4k games up to 120 fps on the PS5. It has HDMI Forum VRR support, which works well with the console and provides a nearly tear-free gaming experience. Games feel quick and responsive thanks to the fast response time, incredibly low input lag, and excellent motion handling. As a Sony TV, it's part of Sony's 'Perfect for PS5' lineup, which includes a few Sony-exclusive features designed for PS5 gamers, like Auto HDR Tone Mapping, which automatically optimizes the HDR settings for your TV.

If you want a Sony TV but the BRAVIA 9 is too expensive, last year's Sony X93L/X93CL is a good option. It's not as bright as the BRAVIA 9, but it's still bright enough for use in a well-lit room. It also doesn't deliver as deep blacks, and its local dimming isn't as precise, but it still looks good enough in a dark room.

If you want an OLED that is one of the best TVs for PS5 but can also be an excellent home theater TV, consider the upper mid-range LG C3 OLED. It's a premium TV that delivers stunning picture quality. Thanks to its near-infinite contrast ratio, there's no blooming around bright objects, and it has dark, inky blacks. It truly looks fantastic in dark rooms when gaming. That said, while it gets bright enough to fight glare even in moderately lit rooms and has incredible reflection handling, it doesn't use quantum dot technology. This means that colors aren't as bright as on the Samsung S90C OLED. The LG partly makes up for it by being more versatile, as it has better image processing, Dolby Vision HDR support and can passthrough advanced DTS audio formats. It also supports full 120Hz Dolby Vision, which is great to have even though Dolby Vision support is still rare on the PS5.

Of course, it still delivers incredible gaming performance with a nearly instantaneous response time, resulting in crystal-clear motion with no distracting blur behind fast-moving objects. It's also packed with gaming features, including full HDMI 2.1 bandwidth support on all four inputs, meaning you can take full advantage of your PS5 while having a bunch of other HDMI 2.1 devices connected. If you love this TV but would like it to be a bit more vibrant, consider the more expensive LG G3 OLED. The G3 is one of the brightest OLEDs on the market and is certainly brighter than the C3, but the price difference isn't worth it for most people.

The LG C4 OLED is also now available. It has minor upgrades like better HDR accuracy and slightly better HDR brightness, and it supports up to 4k @ 144Hz for PC gamers with high-end rigs. Unfortunately, it's quite expensive at launch. Since most of the upgrades it offers are minor and the PS5 is limited to 120Hz, your money is better spent on the cheaper C3 OLED while it's still available and on sale.

The LG B3 OLED is the best 4k TV for PS5 in the mid-range category that we've tested. It's a truly splendid TV, with only a few drawbacks compared to the more expensive models. The TV has all the features of the more expensive LG C3 OLED, although the B3 is certainly dimmer. It still delivers outstanding picture quality, especially in a dark room, with its near-infinite contrast ratio delivering deep, inky blacks with no distracting blooming. Just make sure to dim the lights when gaming on this TV, as it's not bright enough in HDR to offer a truly immersive gaming experience in bright rooms.

This TV is available in a narrower range of sizes compared to the more expensive LG C3; the B3 comes in 55, 65, and 77 inches. However, it's still great for gaming, with its two HDMI 2.1 ports offering up to 4k @ 120Hz support, including Dolby Vision gaming @ 120Hz. If you have multiple HDMI 2.1 devices, you'll have to navigate around having only two HDMI 2.1 ports, but thankfully, HDMI 2.1 switches are now pretty cheap. It is compatible with every VRR technology, has a fantastic response time, and has an extremely low input lag in Game Mode. And like other OLEDs, its viewing angle is truly fantastic, making it a great TV for large gaming parties. Overall, this TV is a great entry point into the OLED market.

2024's LG B4 OLED is now available. It has improved overall brightness and HDR gradient handling, and LG has increased the number of HDMI 2.1 bandwidth ports to four. The B4 is also available in a new 48-inch model, which is great for small rooms. Unfortunately, it's currently very expensive, so unless you want those upgrades, you're better off getting the B3 while it's on sale. If you want those upgrades or need a 48-inch model, you can also get the LG C3 OLED for less than the cost of a B4.

If you're tight on money but still want a TV that is packed with modern gaming features, you can get the best lower mid-range TV for PS5 that we've tested, the Hisense U7N. It's dimmer than the Sony BRAVIA 9 QLED, and its contrast isn't nearly as good, but it still provides a great gaming experience in both bright and dark rooms. It also has the same gaming features that make it pair excellently with the PS5, like HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, up to 4k @ 144Hz, VRR support, and Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM). On top of that, the TV has extremely low input lag and an excellent response time.

Not only is the U7N a great option for gaming on the PS5, but it's also a great option for watching content when you need to put the controller down for a few hours. It runs the Google TV interface that's loaded with streaming apps, so finding your favorite shows or movies is fast and easy. The TV supports all three major HDR formats, so whether your HDR content is in regular HDR10 or the more advanced HDR10+ or Dolby Vision formats, you're covered. It even has good image processing, so low-quality and low-resolution content looks pretty good on it. Unfortunately, its viewing angle is narrow, so it's best viewed directly in front of the screen.

If you want to save some money, you could opt for last year's Hisense U7K if it's still in stock. Its contrast and brightness aren't as good as the U7N's, but it still delivers great overall picture quality.

If you're a price-conscious PS5 gamer, and the Hisense U7N is a bit too pricey for you, yet you still want a great experience, the best budget TV for PlayStation 5 that you can get is the Best Buy exclusive TCL Q5/Q550G QLED. It's a very good TV for gaming thanks to its low input lag and decent response time, resulting in a responsive gaming experience and clear motion, with very little blur behind fast-moving objects. Even though it has HDMI 2.0 bandwidth on all of its ports, alongside a 60Hz panel, it can output 1080p @ 120Hz and 1440p @ 120Hz with resolution halving on the 55 and 65-inch models, with a wide VRR range to match. It's hard to notice the drop in picture quality from resolution halving unless you really look for it, so it's a great feature, making it one of the cheapest TVs on the market with a 120Hz refresh rate. The TV also supports Dolby Vision at 60Hz, another great feature for a budget model.

Still, it has worse picture quality than the more expensive models on this list, with worse contrast due to the lack of a local dimming feature. It gets bright overall and is quite colorful, but without local dimming, it can't truly emphasize bright highlights. However, it has a narrow viewing angle, so it's not the best choice for party games with a large group of friends, as anyone sitting to the side will see a faded image. Overall, it's an impressive TV for gaming thanks to its low input lag and decent response time. If you'd like a slightly brighter TV, look at the slightly more expensive TCL Q6/Q650G QLED. Still, they're very similar, so the Q5 is the better value overall.

If you're looking for the best PS5 TV at the lowest price possible, consider the Roku Select Series. It's a decent TV that's a small step down from the TCL Q5/Q550G QLED, as it can't do 120Hz like that TV can. Its contrast is okay, especially for a TV at this price point, so it looks adequate in a dark room, even without local dimming. That's a good thing since the TV doesn't get bright enough in HDR for rooms with lots of lights, even with its decent reflection handling. It's bright enough for moderately lit rooms, though, especially when playing SDR titles since its SDR brightness is very good. A great feature of this TV is the sheer amount of models available, from a small 24-inch to a big 75-inch. Remember that the 24 and 32-inch models are limited to a 720p resolution, and the 40-inch model is limited to 1080p. The bigger sizes are 4k TVs.

The Roku is light on features; it doesn't have VRR, is limited to a 60Hz refresh rate, and doesn't support 1440p resolution. Still, its spectacular input lag and great response time make it a good TV for gamers. However, like many other LED TVs, there's a noticeable black smear in shadow details due to the TV's slower dark state transitions, but you won't have any issues with slower and brighter titles. If you're a Costco member, you'll instead want to get the slightly better and more colorful Hisense A65K.
