A PS5 can only look as good as the TV it's plugged into. These are the best TVs for PS5 and PS5 Pro you can buy on Amazon, all with HDMI 2.1, 4K at 120Hz, VRR, and low input lag, chosen from current lab testing. Plus the console and TV settings to change so you actually get what you paid for.

The short answer

The best TV for PS5 is the Samsung S95F OLED (65", about $2,080): perfect blacks, very bright QD-OLED color, a matte anti-glare screen, and four HDMI 2.1 ports with VRR.

The LG C6 OLED (about $1,400) gives you the same gaming features for less. The Hisense U7SG (about $1,000) is the best mid-range pick for bright rooms, and the TCL QM6K (about $600) is the best budget TV with 4K 120Hz.

What a PS5 actually needs from a TV

Every TV below has HDMI 2.1, VRR, and low input lag. Our picks follow RTINGS' lab testing (updated October 2026), limited to TVs you can buy on Amazon. RTINGS' current top pick, Samsung's 2026 S95H, isn't sold there, so we've picked its predecessor. Prices and ratings below are Amazon's for the 65-inch size; every pick comes in other sizes too.

Samsung S95F OLED
4.3 / 5 (281 Amazon ratings) · The model RTINGS' current top pick, the 2026 S95H, replaced

The best gaming picture you can buy on Amazon. Samsung's QD-OLED panel delivers perfect blacks with exceptionally bright, saturated color, so HDR games look stunning, and its matte "Glare Free" screen means you can play in a bright room without reflections washing out dark scenes. Four HDMI 2.1 ports run at a refresh rate well beyond the PS5's 120Hz, with VRR, very low input lag, and crystal-clear motion.

Worth knowing: Samsung TVs don't support Dolby Vision, which matters for movies more than games; they use HDR10+ instead. It's the most expensive pick here.

Best OLED value~$1,400 (65")
LG C6 OLED
4.1 / 5 (142 Amazon ratings) · RTINGS' upper mid-range PS5 pick

The same inky OLED blacks and the same gaming features as the Samsung for considerably less: four HDMI 2.1 ports supporting 4K at up to 165Hz, VRR, very low input lag, and clear motion. It also supports Dolby Vision for movies. Bright highlights don't pop quite as much as on the Samsung, but games still look vibrant.

Worth knowing: its glossy screen shows mirror-like reflections from lamps or windows facing it, so it's best in a dim or moderately lit room. The 77- and 83-inch sizes are the brighter C6H.

Best mid-range~$1,000 (65")
Hisense U7SG
4.4 / 5 (447 Amazon ratings) · RTINGS' mid-range PS5 pick

A gaming powerhouse for the price. All four HDMI ports support full HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, so a PS5, an Xbox, and a receiver can all have one, and it runs up to 165Hz with VRR and low input lag. It's very bright with excellent reflection handling, so it's ideal for daytime gaming in a sunny room, and its local dimming keeps blacks deep with only minor haloing.

Worth knowing: motion blur is noticeably worse than on the OLEDs, so very fast games look a little softer in motion.

Best budget~$600 (65")
TCL QM6K
4.3 / 5 (2,052 Amazon ratings) · RTINGS' budget PS5 pick

The cheapest way to get the PS5's full feature set on a big screen. Two HDMI 2.1 ports handle 4K at up to 144Hz with VRR, input lag is just as low as the Hisense's, and it even supports 1080p at 288Hz for PC gamers. Local dimming gives it deeper blacks than most TVs at this price.

Worth knowing: picture quality is a step down from the Hisense, with more glow around bright objects in dark scenes, and it handles daytime glare less well. It's best for evening and nighttime gaming.

PS5 settings to change on day one

  1. Use an HDMI 2.1 port. On TVs with only two (like the TCL), they're labeled 4K@120Hz or 144Hz in the manual. Plug the PS5 into one of those.
  2. Turn on the TV's enhanced HDMI mode for that port (Input Signal Plus on Samsung, HDMI Ultra HD Deep Colour on LG, Enhanced/Mode 2 on Hisense and TCL). Without it, 4K120 and HDR may not work.
  3. On the PS5, enable 120Hz output and VRR under Settings > Screen and Video > Video Output. Set Performance Mode or Resolution Mode under Game Presets depending on whether you prefer frame rate or detail.
  4. Run the PS5's HDR adjustment under Screen and Video. It tunes the console's HDR to your TV's actual brightness.
  5. Leave Game Mode (ALLM) on so the TV switches automatically when the console wakes up.

Using a soundbar or AV receiver

The simplest setup is to plug the PS5 straight into the TV and send sound to your soundbar or receiver through the TV's HDMI eARC port. That keeps 4K120 and VRR working even if your audio gear doesn't support them. If you'd rather route the PS5 through an AV receiver, it needs HDMI 2.1 passthrough with 4K120 and VRR; see our best receivers for gaming. Either way, use a certified Ultra High Speed cable for 4K120; see our HDMI 2.1 cable picks and HDMI 2.1 explained.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best TV for PS5?
The Samsung S95F OLED is the best TV for PS5 you can buy on Amazon: perfect OLED blacks, very bright color, a matte anti-glare screen, and four HDMI 2.1 ports with VRR and low input lag. The LG C6 OLED offers the same gaming features for less, and the TCL QM6K is the best budget choice.
Do you need HDMI 2.1 for PS5?
Only for 4K at 120Hz and the smoothest VRR gaming. Without HDMI 2.1, a PS5 still plays at 4K 60Hz. Every TV on our list has HDMI 2.1; the Samsung, LG, and Hisense have four ports, while the TCL QM6K has two.
Is OLED or Mini LED better for PS5?
OLED has perfect blacks, the clearest motion, and the widest viewing angle, which makes it the best for gaming in a dim room. Mini LED gets brighter for less money and handles daytime glare better, so it suits bright rooms.
How do I turn on 120Hz on PS5?
Go to Settings, then Screen and Video, then Video Output, and set Enable 120 Hz Output to Automatic. The PS5 must be plugged into an HDMI 2.1 port on the TV, and that port's enhanced HDMI mode must be turned on in the TV settings.
Can I use a soundbar or receiver with PS5 and keep 4K 120Hz?
Yes. Plug the PS5 directly into the TV and send audio to the soundbar or receiver through the TV's HDMI eARC port. That keeps 4K 120Hz and VRR working even if your audio equipment doesn't pass them through.
