Best Gaming TV for PS5 and Xbox Series X

PS5 and Xbox Series X/S both output up to 4K/120Hz over HDMI 2.1 with VRR. That's what actually matters for picking a TV, not PC-oriented specs. Ranked below on that basis.

Top pick

Hisense Hisense U75QG

Hisense

Number 1: Hisense U75QG

PS9.0/10

Best overall value

By Picksights' own weighting, this edges out the Samsung overall — you're giving up a bit of off-axis viewing and screen coating quality for gaming performance that's nearly identical at a meaningfully lower price. The pick for most people playing in a bright living room.

Pros

  • Input lag nearly as low as the pricier Samsung (9.8ms vs 9.1ms)
  • 4 full-bandwidth HDMI 2.1 ports at a much lower price
  • Exceptionally bright — holds up well in daylight rooms

Cons

  • Reflective screen coating
  • Weaker off-axis viewing angles
  • Built-in audio is average

Samsung Samsung S90F OLED

Samsung

Number 2: Samsung S90F OLED

PS8.9/10

Best picture quality

The best image quality here by a clear margin, and the Gaming Hub is a genuinely useful touch for a household running more than one console. Worth the premium if picture quality is your priority.

Pros

  • Near-perfect contrast and color accuracy
  • Dedicated Gaming Hub auto-enables Game Mode per console
  • 4 full-bandwidth HDMI 2.1 ports

Cons

  • No Dolby Vision support
  • Priciest of this set
  • Middling built-in audio

PS8.5/10

Best premium OLED

This ranking places it third, and that is worth explaining rather than defending: our score weights what you pay, and at $1,599.99 it costs roughly three times the Hisense above it. On picture it is not close — per-pixel OLED blacks, a 144Hz ceiling rising to 165Hz, four HDMI 2.1 ports and Dolby Vision, which the Samsung in this ranking does not support at all. The premium is justified in a specific situation: a dim or light-controlled room, where OLED contrast is visible and where a bright LED panel's main advantage stops mattering. It is not justified in a bright living room, where the Hisense will simply look better for a third of the money, and it is not justified if you mostly watch rather than play, because the refresh ceiling above 120Hz is unreachable by any current console. One more honest caveat, and it is the reviewers' own: the outgoing C5 generation performs almost identically for meaningfully less. Buy this only once that stock is gone or the price gap has closed.

Pros

  • 144Hz native and up to 165Hz across four HDMI 2.1 ports
  • Dolby Vision gaming support, which the Samsung S90F in this ranking lacks
  • Per-pixel OLED blacks with near-instant pixel response

Cons

  • $1,599.99 for the smallest 48-inch size — the most expensive option here by a wide margin
  • Built-in audio is the weakest part of the package, per the review
  • The outgoing C5 delivers close to the same experience for less while stock lasts

TCL

Number 4: TCL QM6K QD-Mini LED (65-inch)

PS8.1/10

Best budget Mini-LED

The set that makes spending more feel optional. Two independent outlets rate it the best budget TV of the year, and the reason is that it does the thing cheap televisions usually get wrong: it keeps shadow detail without dimming the bright parts of a scene. The catch is port count — with two HDMI 2.1 inputs, a PS5 and an Xbox fill it and there is nothing left for a soundbar or a PC. If you have one console, that does not matter and this is the buy.

Pros

  • RTINGS rates it the best budget TV it has tested, for holding deep blacks alongside bright highlights
  • 144Hz native panel — above what any current console can output, so nothing is left on the table
  • Mini-LED with quantum dots at roughly a third of the price of the OLED in this ranking

Cons

  • Only 2 of its 4 HDMI ports are 2.1 — two consoles fill them completely
  • Sound performance is inconsistent, per reviewers
  • Glare handling is weaker than the brighter sets here

Hisense Hisense U65QF

Hisense

Number 5: Hisense U65QF

PS7.7/10

Best budget

The one to buy if budget is the deciding factor and you're only connecting a single console. Everything that matters for GTA VI on PS5 or Xbox Series X/S is here — you're mainly giving up a second HDMI 2.1 port and a nicer smart-TV interface.

Pros

  • Genuinely capable gaming spec sheet at a budget price
  • 2 full HDMI 2.1 ports covers a single PS5 or Xbox Series X/S comfortably
  • ALLM auto-switches to Game Mode

Cons

  • 13.1ms input lag — still good, but a step behind the other two
  • Only 2 of 4 HDMI ports are full 2.1 bandwidth
  • Fire TV interface is slow and ad-heavy

How we rank

Picksights methodology

Picksights Score is a weighted average of 5 criteria, each scored from the specs and lab-tested figures published by the source cited on each product — not from a copied star rating. For TVs, the weights are:

Image quality

30% of score

Gaming responsiveness (input lag + refresh ceiling)

25% of score

Connectivity (full-bandwidth HDMI 2.1 ports, VRR/ALLM)

20% of score

Price-to-value within this comparison

15% of score

Smart TV software experience

10% of score

This is why our ranking can differ from a source's own editorial pick — theirs reflects their overall judgment call; ours is a fixed, disclosed formula applied to the same underlying facts.

FAQ

Do I need a new TV to play GTA VI?

No — GTA VI will run on any TV compatible with PS5 or Xbox Series X/S. A TV with HDMI 2.1, 4K/120Hz and VRR gets you the best possible experience the consoles can output, but it isn't a requirement.

Will GTA VI actually run at 4K/120Hz?

Not officially confirmed. Rockstar hasn't published resolution or frame-rate targets for GTA VI. What's confirmed is that PS5 and Xbox Series X/S are both capable of 4K/120Hz output for games that support it — this page ranks TVs on that console capability, not a confirmed GTA VI spec.
