Best TV for Xbox Series X / S and PS5: updated list
Here is the updated list of where you can find the best TV for next-gen consoles. A few months ago, in July, we told you about the most suitable televisions in view of the future release on the market of Xbox Series X / S and PlayStation 5. Now that the aforementioned video game platforms are available for purchase (or almost, given the immense problems had with pre-orders ), the list of televisions suitable to accompany them has not changed much.
So if you need advice, you've come to the right place.
Features needed for next-gen console TVs
The characteristics necessary for a new TV to make you enjoy your video games to the fullest are essentially seven: the 4K resolution, the presence of HDMI 2.1, the lowest possible input lag , the refresh rate , the image quality, the audio one and the size. in inches. I will not go into detail explaining these last three characteristics, but it is necessary to talk about the former.
4K resolution, or UltraHD, refers to the number of pixels (the squares that make up the image) in the TV.
Input lag is the delay that occurs between the time the TV receives a signal and the time the signal is displayed on the screen.
The refresh rate, on the other hand, is the screen refresh rate, i.e. the number of times (per second) in which the image is redrawn on a display. A higher frequency is less tiring to the eye and makes moving images appear much smoother.
HDMI 2.1
HDMI 2.1, on the other hand, is the new standard for audio / video connection between console and television. The best known and most relevant changes introduced with HDMI 2.1 are:
- Support for specific resolution pairs – refresh rate has been improved, for example it is now possible to reach the incredible 4K resolution at 120Hz and 8K at 60Hz .
- Increased bandwidth
- Dynamic HDR support implemented
- The limit of color depth is now that of 16BIT
- Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) introduced
As far as image quality is concerned, the best is certainly that of televisions with OLED technology (produced by LG, PANASONIC and SONY), not to be confused with Samsung's QLED which is "only" an improvement on traditional LED technology.
All the televisions that we are going to propose are 4K and equipped with HDMI 2.1.
Best TV for Xbox Series X / S and PS5: 65 ″ LG OLED CX Series with soundbar and subwoofer
Nothing to do, the LG CX series OLED is always the best when it comes to gaming, especially for its very low input lag .

and Dolby Atmos® and, above all, on board we find HDMI 2.1 with a maximum bandwidth of 48 Gbps, with ALLM, VRR and G-Sync, to take advantage of the variable refresh rate.

Best TV for Xbox Series X / S and PS5: PANASONIC 55HZ1500E 55 "
In July we talked about its predecessor: the 55GZ1500E. The new HZ range introduces some innovations and confirms the immense Panasonic quality. As far as picture quality is concerned, Panasonic has been the go-to brand in Hollywood for professional displays for many years: their televisions aim for perfection and color realism.
The input lag is greater than LG's CX, but if you'd like to use the screen for watching movies too, we can't recommend any better.
Obviously it has HDMI 2.1 and, usually, its price is extremely competitive for the quality it offers.
This Panasonic home gaming offering features a 55 ″ 4K UHD screen with HDR10 + support and a deep black filter.
Thanks to the Biade Speaker, the 2020 HZ1500 4K OLED TVs offer an innovative visual experience and intense audio. The HCX Pro Intelligent processor displays details with excellent contrast and smooth gradations. Realism assured by Dolby VisionTM and HDR10 +.

This Sony AG9 TV is excellent, but a little more expensive for the same inches, compared to those of Panasonic and LG. The strong point is certainly the sound system , certainly the best sound system you could find on board a "standard" television. It's thanks to the Acoustic Surface Audio + . Two actuators and two powerful subwoofers ensure multi-dimensional sound that allows you to immerse yourself in a completely new entertainment experience.

Best TV for Xbox Series X / S and PS5: 65 ″ Samsung Q80T
It is not an OLED, so the image quality is not comparable to the three TVs we proposed a little while ago, but Samsung could not miss it with its 65 ″ Samsung Q80T , which, thanks to a lower price, can tempt lot of.
Among the specifications of this particular model, we highlight the Ultra Viewing Angle for deep contrasts, and the HDR1500 certification. Furthermore, thanks to FreeSync technology, Samsung's QLEDs reduce the delay in signal reception to give us that game speed that no doubt serves.
Quantum HDR and Direct Full Array are technologies that allow for above average colors and contrasts, but not comparable to OLED. Plus, Quantum Dot technology captures light and transforms it into stunning colors.
