2. LG C6 OLED TV

Best for: an OLED for less

RTINGS[1]’ upper mid-range pick offers the same gaming features as the S95H: four HDMI 2.1 ports up to 4K@165Hz, VRR, very low input lag and clear motion. It’s more reflective, with mirror-like reflections from lights facing the screen. RTINGS found the 55-inch at $999.99 at Best Buy, and a 42-inch is available for a desk.

3. Hisense U7SG Mini-LED TV

Best for: a bright, big screen

RTINGS[1]’ mid-range PS5 pick is a very bright mini-LED TV with great local dimming and fantastic reflection handling, and HDMI 2.1 on all four inputs. The tradeoff is much more motion blur than an OLED. It launched from $799.99.

4. TCL QM6K QD-Mini LED TV

Best for: a budget PS5 TV

RTINGS[1]’ budget pick has two HDMI 2.1 ports that handle 4K@144Hz and 1080p@288Hz, plus VRR, so it gets the PS5’s 120Hz modes for much less. Wirecutter[4] saw the 55-inch at $548.

Price (Oct 2026): 55-inch $548 (Wirecutter) Source

Pros

  • HDMI 2.1 for 4K@120Hz

5. Hisense QD6QF QLED TV

Best for: the lowest price

RTINGS[1]’ cheapest pick has no HDMI 2.1, so the PS5 runs at 4K@60Hz, or at 1440p@120Hz with very high input lag. It does support VRR, but there’s no local dimming. RTINGS says it’s fine for casual gamers. Best Buy lists the 55-inch at $299.99, and it has dropped to $259.99 in past sales.

Price (Oct 2026): 55-inch $299.99 (Best Buy) Source

Pros

  • Very cheap

Cons

  • No 4K@120Hz
  • High input lag at 120Hz
  • No local dimming

Also considered

Samsung QN900F 8K: RTINGS[1]’ pick for the PS5 Pro’s 8K output: four HDMI 2.1 ports, 8K@60Hz and 4K@165Hz. Most PS5 games run at 4K, so this is a niche choice.

Samsung S90H: A cheaper Samsung OLED with 165Hz support; see best Samsung TVs.

What a PS5 TV needs

For 120Hz games you need HDMI 2.1 at 4K@120Hz. VRR smooths out frame drops, and low input lag makes controls feel responsive. OLEDs have the fastest response time; mini-LEDs get brighter. See best LG OLED TVs and best OLED TVs.
