What cable do I need to connect a PS5 to a TV?

An HDMI cable. The PS5 comes with an Ultra High Speed HDMI cable in the box; if you need a longer one, buy another Ultra High Speed (HDMI 2.1) cable so you keep 4K at 120Hz.

Checked 7th November 2026.

How to connect it

  1. Plug one end into the PS5's HDMI out socket.
  2. Plug the other end into an HDMI socket on the TV. For 120Hz, use the socket marked 4K 120, 2.1 or eARC (check the TV's manual).
  3. On the PS5, go to Settings, Screen and Video, and turn on 120Hz output.

Worth knowing

  • A standard High Speed HDMI cable works too, but limits you to 4K at 60Hz.
  • 120Hz only works if the TV has an HDMI 2.1 socket. Most TVs before 2020 don't.
