Best TV for PS5 and Xbox
One with HDMI 2.1 sockets and 120Hz, so games run at 4K 120 with VRR. The LG OLED C5 is the premium pick; the Sony BRAVIA 3 II has Auto Game Mode with PS5; the Hisense U7Q gives 144Hz Mini-LED for less.

The picks
Best overall for gaming
LG OLED evo C5 series
OLED at 120Hz with VRR up to 144Hz, four HDMI 2.1 sockets, G-Sync and FreeSync.
Worth knowing: Freely isn't built in; you need a Freely streaming device to add it.
Best for PS5
Sony BRAVIA 3 II series
Four HDMI 2.1 sockets with 4K 120 and VRR, and Auto Game Mode with PS5.
Worth knowing: Freely isn't built in, and Sony's page doesn't name the panel type.
Best value
Hisense U7Q series
Mini-LED at 144Hz with VRR, FreeSync Premium Pro and auto game mode, from £449, with Freely.

Panasonic Z90B OLED series

120Hz QLED with Dolby Vision and HDR10+, from £399, with Freely.
Worth knowing: Costs more than budget QLEDs of the same size.

How to choose
- Use an Ultra High Speed HDMI cable (the one in the console's box is one) and the TV socket marked 4K 120 or HDMI 2.1.
- Avoid TVs whose HDMI sockets run at 4K 60Hz only, such as the Samsung U8000F, if you want 120Hz.
- Turn on the console's 120Hz output in its video settings.
Questions
- Do I need a 120Hz TV for PS5?
- No, but it makes fast games smoother. At 60Hz, any 4K TV works.
