The best TV for PS5 can really enhance your gaming experience while playing Sony's latest console. The PS5 is a powerful console that's capable of some truly impressive graphics, and to make the most out of this, you should invest in the best TV your budget can stretch to.

With support for 4K resolutions (and even 8K later on, Sony promises), variable refresh rates and HDR (High Dynamic Range), buying a gaming TV for the PS5 that's capable of supporting these features can make a huge difference.

OLED TVs, for example, will offer you stunning contrast, with deep blacks and vibrant colours that will make games like Spider-Man Miles Morales look incredible, especially with HDR enabled.

The best TVs for the PS5 will also offer support for variable refresh rates. This is a feature coming to the PS5 in a future update, so it's worth getting a gaming TV for the PS5 now with this capability, so you can make use of it. Using HDMI 2.1, it allows the TV to change how fast it refreshes the image to match the frame rate from your console. This can lead to a much smoother gameplay experience, no screen tearing (an annoying graphical glitch that can ruin your enjoyment), and much more responsive actions on screen. This last one can give you a competitive edge in many games.

If you're on a budget, then it doesn't mean you need to make do with a poor quality TV to play your PS5 on. Samsung's TU8000 Series TVs are impressively affordable compared to the competition, while still offering excellent features for gaming such as an impressively low input lag of just 9.7ms, as well as a motion handling technology to keep the action looking consistently smooth. 

As it's Samsung, you can also expect excellent build quality and design, and it comes in a variety of sizes, from 43-inches for smaller rooms, to a gigantic 75-inches as well. Of course, this low price does mean there are some compromises - there's no HDMI 2.1 support, VRR or high refresh rates here. But if you want to save a bit of cash after splashing out on a PS5, then this is a great choice.

Reasons to avoid

-Lacks some features

The Samsung Q80T, launched in 2020, is a fantastic 4K TV for the PS5 that combines features with affordability. It comes with Samsung's QLED full-array backlight technology, so image quality is amongst some of the best we've seen - even when compared to newer, more expensive TVS. 

It also has impressively low input lag of just 8.7ms, which means the time it takes you to press a button on the PS5 controller, and for it to appear on screen, is incredibly fast, which makes this a great choice for gamers who love playing competitively.  As a slightly older TV, it means there's only one HDMI 2.1 port, but if you're just sticking with one console, then that'll be plenty. Also, the built-in speakers in this TV are excellent, so you may not feel the need to buy extra speakers or a soundbar, unlike some other TVs.

06. Hisense A7200 Roku TV

The best TV for PS5 for under £500

Specifications

Screen size: 43-inch

Resolution: 4K

Panel type: LCD

Smart TV: Roku TV

Dimensions: 969 x 564 x 85 mm

TODAY'S BEST DEALS

Reasons to buy

+Roku TV smart TV+Decent design

Reasons to avoid

-Poor speakers

If you're after a TV for your PS5 for under £500, then the Hisense A7200 Roku TV is a great choice. It offers excellent features thanks to the built-in Roku TV platform, and it offers 4K resolution and HDR as well.

This means for the price, your PS5 games will look pretty great. However, there are some caveats to this low price. For a start, you can forget about advanced features such as HDMI 2.1, and the image quality won't compare to a much more expensive OLED TV.

At 43-inches, it may also feel a little on the small side in large living rooms. On the other hand, if space is a premium, this is a great choice. The built-in speakers are particularly poor, however, so you'll probably want to invest in some external speakers or a headset for a better gaming experience.

07. Samsung QN95A Neo QLED

The best 55-inch TV for the PS5

Specifications

Screen size: 55-inch

Resolution: 4K

Panel technology: Neo QLED

Smart TV: Tizen

Dimensions: 1227.4 x 706.2 x 25.9 mm

TODAY'S BEST DEALS

Reasons to buy

+Amazing picture quality+Excellent sound quality

Reasons to avoid

-No Dolby Vision or Atmos

The Samsung QN95A is the best 55-inch TV you can buy for your PS5. If 43-inch TVs feel a little too small, but 65-inch TVs or above are going to dominate your living room, then a 55-inch set is an ideal size, and the QN95A packs in some of Samsung's best technology for a TV that really does blow away the competition.

So, there' Mini LED backlights, which are the hot new feature in modern screens, offering the kind of contrast and image quality that OLEDs are often known for. Its less susceptible to burn in than OLED, where static images on the screen can less faint outlines, and that makes it great for PS5 games - as maps, health bars and more can cause burn in.

It supports HDR and comes with loads of gaming-centric features, along with a truly excellent set of speakers. Despite the sheer quality on offer here, it's not outrageously expensive like some super-large 65-inch TVs are.

Specifications

Screen size: 55-inch

Resolution: 3840 x 2160

Panel technology: OLED

Smart TV: Android

Dimensions: 1228 x 706 x 58mm (HxWxD)

The Philips OLED 805, like other OLED sets, offers incredible image quality that will really make your PS5 games look their very best. However, it also has a cool Ambilight feature that other TVs lack.

Ambilight is a series of lights around the television that sync up to the action on screen. It throws lights and colours against the wall, and this can give a really immersive experience that draws you into your games. 

While Ambilight is the headline feature, this is no slouch when it comes to image quality, and supports Dolby Vision and HDR10+ as well. If you're looking for a TV for your PS5 that will blow you (and anyone you play with) away, then this is the one to get.
