The best TV for PS5 can bring the best out of Sony's greatest console to date. At the end of the day, the console deserves it, and so do you.

You'll want to make sure you get the right features that complement the PS5 though. That means the best TV in this field needs a high resolution, low response time, and a high refresh rate.

Basically, the best televisions for the PlayStation 5 need to have everything. Okay, maybe you don't need 8K just yet (although the PS5 does support it technically) but it should cover everything else and then some.

With all of that in mind, we've selected some of what we think are the best TVs for the PS5 available right now based on the aforementioned specs as well as general reviews, price, and any other features that made them stand out from the crowd. The only thing left to say now, really, is let's get into it...

The LG C3 series is absolutely sublime at basically everything, and that's true of working with the PS5 as well.

The TV boasts a staggering 0.1ms response time and offers VRR support with both NVIDIA G-Sync and AMD FreeSync available. Also, it can deliver a stunning image through its 4K OLED screen, comes with plenty of features to help keep things smooth and good-looking both in and out of games, and even has access to a multitude of extra channels thanks to the built-in software.

2. Samsung QLED Q80C

Best QLED TV for PS5

Screen Size: 65"
Ports: HDMI 2.1 x 4, USB 2.0 (Type A) x 2, Ethernet
Refresh Rate: 120hz, VRR, ALLM
Resolution: 4K, 3840 x 2160
Screen Type: QLED

Deciding between QLED and OLED and which one is 'better' is certainly up for debate, but if you do decide to go for a QLED, then this Samsung QLED Q80C is a mighty TV that's sure to bring you joy, and a great picture too.

Alongside supporting basically everything including Google Assistant, Alexa, NVIDIA GeForce Now, and a slew of streaming services, this TV also happens to look great with 4K visuals.

Additionally, it has Dolby Atmos, Object Tracking Sound Lite, Quantum HDR+ for better colours and richer details, and can reduce motion blur and lag as well, making it great for action games and the PS5 especially seeing as its impressive 120Hz refresh rate teamed with its HDMI 2.1 ports mean you can game in 4K at 120 fps.

3. LG QNED80

Best TV for PS5 under 1000

Screen Size: 50" - 75"
Ports: HDMI 2.1 x 2, HDMI 2.0 x 2, USB 2.0 (Type A) x 3, Ethernet
Refresh Rate: 120hz, VRR, ALLM
Resolution: 4K, 3840 x 2160
Screen Type: Mini LED

We don't think anybody is going to consider under 1000 cheap, but a budget is important a lot of the time, so keeping this in mind can help.

The LG QNED80 is an excellent, and fairly powerful, TV that can manage 4K visuals with a refresh rate of 120Hz. This means you can enjoy games in excellent detail while running everything smoothly at the same time.

Not only that, but it has LG Channels built in for when you're not trying to get a new high score or take down other players, and even has a game optimiser mode as well, thus making it a great option for PS5.

4. Hisense U8

Best ULED TV For PS5

Screen Size: 55" - 75"
Ports: HDMI 2.1 x 4, USB 2.0
Refresh Rate: 144hz, VRR, FreeSync
Resolution: 4K, 3840 x 2160
Screen Type: ULED

Thanks to a high refresh rate of 144Hz, a massive 75" screen, and an impressively high resolution, the Hisense U8 is an absolute monster for PlayStation 5 owners.

We've opted for the 75" model here for those who like to play games in split-screen, whether that's with or against friends and family, because the extra size means it's much easier to see what's going on no matter what side you're on.

It even comes with a special gaming mode to make things even better and lower the latency, and it has a voice remote too, which is nice as you don't have to move to control it.

A 4K ULED screen, an ultra-fast refresh rate, and HDMI 2.1 ports as well - what more could you ask for?

Aside from having an incredible 8K picture, it also boasts a 120Hz resolution, a pretty nippy response time, and variable refresh rate too. Basically, games will look and feel good on this thing, and you'll be set for future 8K support if and when it arrives.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Now there are a ton of questions surrounding which TV is best for PS5, and we're here to take some of the mystery out of it.

How much should you spend on a TV for PS5?

This is completely up to you depending on your budget of course, but typically to get a TV that delivers 120hz, VRR, ALLM, and several other game-enhancing features, anything between 700 - 1500 should be a good range.

Since HDMI 2.1 technology is still somewhat new on the scene, it may be a while before we see some of the best 120hz TVs for gaming drop in price, as we did with 4K UHD.

There are some fantastic 4K TVs for under 500, and we've selected some of the best TVs for under 400 too if you're not dead-set on 120fps at 4K.

Do you need HDMI 2.1 for the PS5?

Actually... no, not if you want to play in 4K at 60hz on compatible devices. This is basically one level up from a PS4 Pro, but you're also getting the lightning-quick loading times and improved graphics.

HDMI 2.1 is needed for 120fps at 4K and 60fps at 8K.

Should you get an 8K TV for the PS5 now?

There are some outstanding 8K TVs on the market today, but whether you should get one now is not as straightforward as you'd think.

We'd say it's a little early in the game to go for an 8K TV, as it hasn't been 'unlocked' on PS5 just yet and will probably come later down the line.

That being said, if you want to future proof, it could be a great long term investment!

What are the TV requirements for the PS5?

Whilst we do have a separate guide for what the TV requirements are for PS5, there are a couple of must-know pieces of information.

To be honest, there aren't any hard and fast rules from Sony when it comes to what TV specs you need for PS5, but it's recommended that you have a 4K TV that can output at 120Hz, or in other words, that supports HDMI 2.1.

You can of course use basically any TV with a resolution of 720p upwards, but to get the full experience, opting for something more powerful would be your best bet.

Is a TV or monitor best for PS5?

Deciding whether to go for a TV or a fantastic monitor for your PS5 can be quite the challenge, so let's break it down.

TVs, like the ones we've got listed above, are brilliant for larger spaces like living rooms, so if your console is going in a lounge, then we'd say to opt for a powerful gaming TV so you also don't miss out on any of the features that monitors have like VRR.

If you're putting your PS5 in a smaller space, such as on a desk, or you're going to be pairing it with a PC, then going for a monitor can be pretty helpful as they occupy smaller amounts of space, but still pack quite the punch, especially in the case of the best HDMI 2.1 and OLED monitors around.

Ultimately, whether you should go for a TV or gaming monitor comes down to your individual needs and preference but either can be an excellent choice.

We'll be back with you to help you find the best TV you can soon, so make sure to stop by again or check out some of the other guides for more standout picks.

What size TV is best for PS5?

Typically, a 55-inch TV is better for PS5 - as there are many options to choose from, you are likely to get a better deal. If you have enough space, you can go for a 65-inch TV. For a more compact setup, you can check out 48-inch TVs.
