Five TVs Built for Smooth 4K 120Hz PS5 Gaming

Your PS5 can push 4K at 120Hz, but your TV needs to keep pace. These 5 options are built around that expectation · livemint.com

A PlayStation 5 can make some games look very smooth at up to 120 pictures per second.

To see that smoothly, a TV needs a real, or native, 120Hz refresh rate.

Numbers created by motion-processing features are not the same thing.

The guide compares five TVs that support high refresh rates and gaming features such as VRR, ALLM and HDMI 2.1.

Toshiba offers a QLED option, while Lumio and TCL use QD-MiniLED screens.

Hisense offers the biggest screen at 75 inches.

LG uses an OLED screen, which can show very dark blacks and strong contrast.

Each TV has trade-offs involving price, sound, apps, size, picture adjustment or after-sales service.
