Best TV for gaming on PS5, Xbox and PC

For gaming, buy a TV with at least two HDMI 2.1 ports, 4K at 120 Hz, VRR and a low-lag game mode. An OLED such as the LG C5 gives the best motion and contrast; mini-LED is the better choice for very bright rooms.

Buying tips

Use the HDMI port labelled 4K 120 Hz or HDMI 2.1; on some TVs only certain ports support full bandwidth.
Enable 120 Hz output and VRR in the console settings, as they are not always on by default.
On OLED, vary your content and use the built-in panel care features to reduce the risk of burn-in from static HUDs.

Questions and answers

Does the PS5 support 120 Hz and VRR?

Yes, the PS5 and PS5 Pro support 4K at 120 Hz and HDMI VRR in games that offer it. You need a TV with HDMI 2.1 to use both.

Is OLED burn-in a real risk for gaming?

Modern OLED TVs have several protection features, and normal mixed use rarely causes problems. The risk rises if you play one game with a static HUD for many hours every day.
