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

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Best value

    Hisense U7Q series

    Mini-LED at 144Hz with VRR, FreeSync Premium Pro and auto game mode, from £449, with Freely.

    Worth knowing: Freely's page doesn't name its smart platform.

  4. OLED with Freely

    Panasonic Z90B OLED series

    4K OLED with a 144Hz display, and Freely built in.

    Worth knowing: A premium price. Freely needs at least 10Mbps broadband and can't record streamed live channels.

  5. Cheaper 120Hz

    Panasonic W85B series

    120Hz QLED with Dolby Vision and HDR10+, from £399, with Freely.

    Worth knowing: Costs more than budget QLEDs of the same size.

Side by side

From Freely’s, NOW’s and the makers’ own lists. “Not confirmed” means they don’t say, so we don’t claim it.

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.
