Five TVs Built for Smooth 4K 120Hz PS5 Gaming
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.
The guide recommends five 4K TVs with native 120Hz or 144Hz panels for PlayStation 5 gaming.
Toshiba’s 55-inch Z570RP offers native 120Hz, up to 144Hz, QLED technology, HDR support and HDMI 2.1.
Lumio’s 55-inch Vision 9 and TCL’s 55-inch Q6C use QD-MiniLED panels with native 144Hz refresh rates.
Hisense’s 75-inch E8S prioritizes a very large MiniLED screen, 144Hz gaming and 61W audio with a built-in subwoofer.
LG’s 65-inch C5 uses OLED technology, native 120Hz refresh, VRR up to 144Hz and four HDMI 2.1 ports.
