The 8 Best TVs For PS5/PS5 Pro - Fall 2024

Updated Dec 09, 2024 at 04:46 pm
Best PS5/PS5 Pro TVs

A few great options are available if you're looking for the best gaming TV for PS5 or the best TV for PS5 Pro. When evaluating how good a TV is for PS5 gaming, certain criteria are most important. A TV's refresh rate is one of the most important factors since it's inherently tied to frame rate; if you want to game in 120 fps, you need a TV that supports a 120Hz refresh rate. A high refresh rate also goes hand-in-hand with VRR, as VRR lets the TV dynamically adjust its refresh rate to match the game's frame rate, minimizing, if not eliminating, any screen tearing that can result from the game's frame rate not matching the TV's refresh rate.

Response time is the time it takes for a pixel to change from one color to the next. TVs with a slow response time leave blurry trails behind fast motion, while TVs with fast response times deliver clear motion. OLEDs are the uncontested best TVs regarding response time, as their pixel transitions are nearly instantaneous. Input lag is the time it takes for your controller inputs to register on screen. Through our rigorous testing process, we've discovered that most TVs nowadays have low enough input lag that you don't feel a delay between your inputs and the action on screen, but if you're mainly a competitive gamer, you will want the lowest input lag possible.

A TV's overall image quality is also very important for playing games, especially if you own a PS5 Pro and really want to see the graphical improvements it adds. If you game in a bright room, you need a TV that's bright enough to fight glare so you aren't distracted by reflections on your screen. You also want a TV that displays a wide range of colors and has good enough contrast that highlights stand out against dark backgrounds in HDR. We determine if a TV's picture quality dips while using Game Mode and which TVs simultaneously provide excellent performance and image quality.

Below are our recommendations for the best gaming TV for PS5 and PS5 Pro, depending on your budget and needs. Also, see our picks for the best gaming TVs, the best 8k TVs, and the best TVs under $2,000. You can also vote on which ones you want us to buy and test.

  1. Best TV For PS5

    The best TV for PS5 that we've tested is the Samsung S90D/S90DD 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. The TV's input lag is extremely low, which makes for extremely responsive gaming, and its VRR support means you also get a nearly tear-free gaming experience. It's bright and colorful in HDR and SDR, so your games really pop. Due to its HDMI 2.1 bandwidth ports, the TV can take full advantage of everything the PS5 and almost everything the PS5 Pro offers, including 4k @ 120Hz gaming in games that support it.

    Being an OLED, the TV's near-infinite contrast ratio and perfect black levels mean that it will perfectly display the detailed shadows and nuanced reflections that the PS5 Pro offers with its new advanced ray-tracing capabilities. If you need a TV for your current PS5 or your new PS5 Pro, the S90D is a near-perfect option; just make sure you get one with a QD-OLED panel.

  2. Best Bright Room TV For PS5

    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 excellent in a dark room due to its incredible local dimming solution that delivers incredibly deep blacks with almost no blooming. Its impressive contrast and brightness lead to a very impactful HDR gaming experience.

    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 and PS5 Pro. It has HDMI Forum VRR support, which works well and provides a nearly tear-free gaming experience. You won't find the same nearly instantaneous response time that you get from an OLED like the Samsung S90D/S90DD OLED, but games still feel quick and responsive thanks to its fast response time and low input lag. 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.

  3. Best 8k TV For PS5 Pro

    With the PS5 Pro's 8k capabilities, you might be considering a new TV to play Gran Turismo 7 in 8k or to take advantage of the new AI upscaling the console offers. There are not many 8k models on the market, but there is the high-end Samsung QN900D 8k QLED. Not only is it an 8k TV, but it also has outstanding picture quality overall. Its contrast ratio is one of the highest on the market when it comes to LED models thanks to its highly effective local dimming solution, so it delivers very deep blacks with minimal blooming. It's also very bright overall, so it easily overcomes glare in a well-lit room and highlights really stand out in HDR games. Colors are also bright and vibrant on this TV, which is great for games with a vivid color palette.

    The TV's four HDMI 2.1 ports support up to 8k @ 60Hz, but they also support a whopping 4k @ 240Hz. Neither the PS5 nor the PS5 Pro can run games above 120 fps, but if you also own a powerful gaming PC, you might be able to put that incredibly high refresh rate to good use. The TV also supports VRR, has low input lag, and a fast response time. Still, you can get a nearly instantaneous response time, lower input lag, deeper blacks, and more vibrant colors from any OLED on our list. Those factors are more important for picture quality than pure resolution, so unless you really want to play the likely small amount of games that will actually support 8k on the PS5 Pro, your money is better spent on a high-end 4k model like the Samsung S90D/S90DD OLED.

  4. Best Upper Mid-Range TV For PS5

    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 C4 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 deep, 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 S90D/S90DD OLED. The LG partly makes up for it by being more versatile if you also own an Xbox Series X or if you also use your TV in a home theater, as it has better image processing, Dolby Vision HDR, and can passthrough advanced DTS audio formats.

    Of course, it still delivers incredible gaming performance with a nearly instantaneous response time, resulting in crystal-clear motion. It's also packed with gaming features, including full HDMI 2.1 bandwidth support for up to 4k @ 144Hz on all four inputs. This means you can take full advantage of the 120 fps capabilities of your PS5 or PS5 Pro while having a bunch of other HDMI 2.1 devices connected.

  5. Best Mid-Range TV For PS5

    The LG B4 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 LG C4 OLED. The TV has all the features of the C4, although the B4 is dimmer in HDR outside of Game Optimizer. While using Game Optimizer, the TV's HDR brightness is essentially the same as that of its more expensive sibling, which is great. Like the C4, it delivers outstanding picture quality, with its near-infinite contrast ratio delivering inky blacks at the same time as bright highlights, which is great for the ray-tracing upgrades that the PS5 Pro offers. It even gets bright enough to fight some glare in a room with the lights on.

    Its four HDMI 2.1 bandwidth ports offer up to 4k @ 120Hz support, and you won't miss out on the 144Hz support the C4 has since neither the PS5 nor PS5 Pro support 144 fps. It's compatible with every VRR technology, has a nearly instantaneous response time, and has an extremely low input lag. Overall, this TV is a great entry point into the OLED market. If you're solely using it with your PS5 or PS5 Pro, you don't really miss out on anything by choosing it over the more expensive C4, so you can save some money and put it towards the PS5 Pro.

  6. Best Lower Mid-Range TV For PS5

    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, and VRR support. 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. The TV supports all three major HDR formats and has good image processing, so the TV has you covered no matter what content you're watching. As great as this TV is for the PS5, you'll likely want one of our higher picks if you want to see the full potential of the PS5 Pro's graphics displayed on your screen.

  7. Best Budget TV For PS5

    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 TCL Q6/Q651G QLED. It's a very good TV for gaming thanks to its low input lag and decent response time, although you'll notice more blur behind fast motion than you do on the other TVs on our list. Even though it has HDMI 2.0 bandwidth on all of its ports, alongside a 60Hz panel, it can output up to 1440p @ 120Hz using resolution halving, with a wide VRR range to match. There's a decrease in sharpness and detail when gaming in 1440p versus 4k, but the feature is great for those who'd rather trade in some resolution to game in 120 fps. 

    Still, it has worse picture quality than the more expensive models on this list. It's not bright enough for use in a well-lit room or for impactful HDR gaming sessions, and it has much worse contrast due to the lack of a local dimming feature. The TV's not a very good option to take advantage of the new graphical capabilities of the PS5 Pro, but it still provides decent overall image quality and good performance with the original PS5.

  8. Best Cheap TV For PS5

    If you're looking for the best PS5 TV at the lowest price possible, consider the Hisense A7N. It's a decent TV that's a step down from the Hisense U6/U6N, 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 very good reflection handling. It's bright enough for moderately lit rooms, though, especially when playing SDR titles since its SDR brightness is decent. It also displays a wide range of colors that are sure to please.

    Its spectacular input lag, great response time, and VRR support make it a good TV for gamers who don't need advanced features like 4k @ 120Hz. This TV is a great option for a casual gamer on a budget. Since this TV is cheaper than the PS5 Pro, don't expect it to be a good option for that console; you likely wouldn't even notice much of a difference between the PS5 and the PS5 Pro on this TV. If you'd rather sacrifice some image quality to game in up to 1440p @ 120Hz, you could opt for the TCL S5/S551G over the Hisense.

Notable Mentions

  • Hisense U8/U8N: The Hisense U8/U8N is a more affordable alternative to the Sony BRAVIA 9 QLED. It has lower input lag than the Sony and gets a bit brighter in HDR. However, the Sony displays deeper blacks with less blooming, is more accurate, has the better VRR feature, and has a wider viewing angle, so it's the better TV overall. See our review
  • TCL QM7/QM751G QLED: The TCL QM7/QM751G QLED is a very similar alternative to the Hisense U7N. The TCL gets slightly brighter in HDR and can display colors more brightly, but the Hisense has better contrast, is more accurate, and has much better reflection handling, so it's the better option for most people. See our review
  • Hisense U6/U6N: The Hisense U6/U6N is a great budget TV and competes directly with the TCL Q6/Q651G QLED. The Hisense has significantly better contrast and gets brighter overall, providing better overall picture quality than the TCL. Both TVs support up to 1440p @ 120Hz, but you can use VRR on the TCL while gaming at 120fps, so it's the better option for gamers looking for the best performance. See our review
  • Samsung QN90D/QN90DD QLED: The Samsung QN90D/QN90DD QLED is similar to the Samsung QN900D 8k QLED, but it has a 4k resolution. The QN90D even gets brighter, has better reflection handling, displays a wider range of colors, and has lower input lag. However, it doesn't support 8k, so it can't take advantage of 8k games on the PS5 Pro or its advanced upscaling feature, making the QN900D the better option for those who want to take full advantage of the new pro console. See our review
  • Sony A95L OLED:

    The Sony A95L OLED is one of the best TVs on the market and is most comparable to the Samsung S90D/S90DD OLED. Like the Samsung model, it uses a QD-OLED panel and delivers amazing picture quality, so you can see the graphical improvements that the PS5 Pro offers on this model. However, the Samsung has lower input lag and is sold for much less, making it the better option for most people.

    See our review
  • LG G4 OLED:

    The LG G4 OLED is one of the best TVs on the market and has very impressive brightness capabilities for an OLED model. However, it's very expensive, so unless you really want that extra brightness, most people are better off saving some money and going with the LG C4 OLED.
