Best TV for PS5 2025: The top TVs for Sony’s console

LG’s C4 mid-range OLED TV boasts generous 4K/120Hz and VRR support across all its HDMI inputs, a feature that not many TV brands implement on their own TVs, providing flexibility in terms of how many consoles/PC units you can plug in.

Dolby Vision Gaming is supported (although the PS5 still doesn’t support this feature). LG’s Game Optimizer allows you to customise the performance on the fly by tweaking features such as black levels or switching through various game mode presets. Our reviewer tested input lag at 13ms, and with the Boost mode activated that can be knocked down to less than 10ms. At 120Hz the latency is halved to less than 5ms, so as a screen for high quality gaming, this is an excellent TV.

But of course it can do more than just gaming, and the C4 proves to be an excellent performer with TV and movie content as well. Its images are colour rich without being oversaturated, naturally deep and full of contrast with crushing detail. It’s brighter than the previous C3 OLED was, we measured it at 1150 nits on a 10% window, which is more than good enough to bring out the intensity in highlights with HDR content.

We rated the audio performance as fine The Standard audio mode is the best and most consistent if you’re watch a variety of programming but we would recommend partnering this set with a soundbar to get the best performance. If you have an LG soundbar you’ll benefit from LG’s WOW Orchestra feature, which allows the C4’s speakers to work in tandem with the soundbar to create a bigger, more immersive sound.

The A95L is a first-class TV if you’re after a Sony screen go with your PS5. It currently offers the best picture performance of any Sony TV currently available.

It’s not necessarily a model geared for PC gamers as it doesn’t natively support AMD FreeSync or Nvidia G-Sync VRR, but those with a PS5 can benefit from a number of exclusive features such as the Auto Tone Mapping HDR, which we found to be very good at calibrating the TV’s HDR performance. The input time of 16.5ms is solid, and Sony says that can drop down to 8.5ms with HDMI VRR enabled.

Similar to the 65-inch version, the XR-55A95L delivers an impressively colourful and wide-ranging HDR performance. We spot more shades of colour and brightness compared to an OLED65G4. Contrast is excellent, and levels of sharpness, detail, and clarity are all high when watching 4K HDR content.

Black levels aren’t the best we’ve seen from an OLED TV, with the Sony struggling to describe overly dark scenes with some raised blacks in some instances. Upscaling has been improved as far as our eyes can see, with detail, clarity, and sharpness well judged. Colours are handled very well, and the Sony picks out satisfying levels of detail too, with artefacts such as banding heavily reduced.

Sound quality is among the best we’ve heard from a TV. Big in size, sharp and clear, with bass that’s much punchier than expected thanks to the integrated woofers in Acoustic Surface Audio+ system.

If you’re lacking space or gaming in your bedroom, then Sony’s XR-42A90K OLED is still available. At 42-inches, it’s the smallest size you can get an OLED TV.

Gaming with a PS5 connected, our reviewer found the experience to be impressive for a screen of this size. Input times are around 20ms, which is longer than the other models on this list, but can be brought down with the TV’s HDMI VRR support. VRR and 4K/120Hz are supported on two HDMI inputs, and one of those is reserved for eARC that passes through audio such as Dolby Atmos to a compatible soundbar.

As this is a Sony TV there are exclusive features for the PS5. There’s support for Auto HDR Tone Mapping that configures the HDR performance in line with the A90K’s capabilities, as well as the Auto Genre Picture Mode that automatically puts the OLED into its lowest latency state when it detects a PlayStation 5.

We found the picture performance when gaming to produce convincing and naturalistic images, with plenty of vibrancy to colours, depth to the image and excellent contrast. This isn’t the brightest OLED TV as smaller-sized OLEDs struggle replicating the brightness of bigger sizes, but as it is a 42-inch screen, this is likely to be less noticeable given you’ll be sitting closer to it.

The A90K features Sony’s Acoustic Surface Audio+ built in, and the performance delivers direct and detailed audio, with dialogue sounding distinct and coherent. There isn’t much of a low end though, leading to a shortage of punchiness to its sound. There’s also a hint of edginess creeping through in the top-end, which only increases with volume.
