The 5 Best TVs For PS5 - Spring 2023 Reviews

The best TV for PS5 we've tested is the Samsung S95B OLED. It's a fantastic TV that delivers an incredible gaming experience. Fast-paced action games look incredible 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 will 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.

If you'd like a 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 A95K 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 playing with the settings. However, it has worse input lag than the S95B, so gaming isn't as responsive. If you'd prefer to go all out and get the best TV no matter the price, or if you want a 77-inch TV, the Samsung S95C OLED is noticeably brighter than the S95B but is also currently more expensive.

The Samsung QN90B QLED is the best TV for PS5 we've tested in the upper mid-range category. It's a flagship TV with a great selection of additional features to impress any gamer. It has a 120Hz panel with HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, meaning you can play 4k games up to 120 fps on the PS5. It has HDMI Forum VRR support that works with the PS5, and a unique Game Bar feature shows helpful info like the current frame rate in your game. Thanks to its quick response time, gaming feels responsive as it has extremely low input lag and excellent motion handling.

It's a fantastic TV for showcasing the graphical power of the PlayStation. It features a Mini LED backlight that allows it to get extremely bright, and combined with its great local dimming feature, HDR content stands out incredibly well, making it an equally great choice for HDR gaming. It doesn't look as good as the Samsung S95B OLED in a dark room, though, as there's more noticeable blooming around bright objects, and blacks aren't as deep.

The Hisense U8H is the best 4k TV for PS5 in the mid-range category we've tested. It's an amazing TV for PS5 gamers thanks to its superbly low input lag and fast response time. It results in clear motion and a responsive gaming experience, ensuring your movements remain in sync with what you see on the screen. It supports HDMI 2.1 bandwidth on two of its four HDMI ports, so you can take full advantage of the PS5 and another console, which is great if you also have an Xbox Series S|X. It also supports a variable refresh rate of up to 120Hz from the PS5, which helps to significantly reduce screen tearing.

Of course, stepping down to a mid-range TV brings a few drawbacks. The Hisense has worse image processing than the Samsung QN90B QLED and the Samsung S95B OLED, so you'll see more banding and posterization in gradients, like shots of the sky. It isn't noticeable with all games; you might only see it if you're looking for it. It also has worse motion handling, so it's not as good for competitive gamers who are more sensitive to ghosting and motion blur.

The best PS5 TV for gamers on a budget we've tested is the TCL 5 Series/S555 2022 QLED. It's an impressive TV for gaming thanks to its low input lag and fast response time, resulting in a responsive gaming experience and clear motion, with very little blur behind fast-moving objects. It's compatible with the PS5's variable refresh rate feature, but unlike the Hisense U8H, it's limited to a 60Hz refresh rate. It makes it best suited for the performance mode of your favorite games.

It also delivers great picture quality when gaming on the PS5. It looks great in a dark room thanks to its superb native contrast ratio and decent local dimming feature, so bright highlights stand out well with minimal blooming, and blacks remain deep and uniform. It also gets bright enough to overcome glare and has decent reflection handling, so it's an equally good choice for a bright room. 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.

The best TV for PlayStation 5 we've tested in the cheap category is the Hisense A6H. It's one of the only TVs in its price range that supports variable refresh rate technology, which helps reduce tearing when your game's frame rate fluctuates, but it's limited to 60Hz. It has fantastic low input lag, so your actions are in-sync with the action on-screen. Compared to the more expensive models on this list, it has a much worse response time, so you'll notice more blur behind fast-moving objects, but it's still okay for casual gamers or more cinematic games.

It delivers just okay picture quality, and it's best suited for a moderately-lit room, as it has a very low contrast ratio with no local dimming feature. On the other hand, it has decent reflection handling, which can handle a bit of glare. It also has a great viewing angle, making it an excellent choice for co-op gaming.
