Best mid-range performance

Best Premium OLED

Shopping for a new OLED TV to pair with your PS5 or PS5 Pro console? I’ve been testing TVs for nearly three years and know just what to look for when picking quality displays that meet every gamer’s needs.

Fortunately, the PS5 is a lot less finicky than gaming on a PC. All you need is a high-speed HDMI cable and a TV capable of handling that signal, like the LG C5 OLED or Samsung S90F. Aside from being two of the best OLED TVs to launch this year, these two sets come with four HDMI 2.1 ports, making either OLED an ideal choice for PS5 players.
want to see even more options? Check out the full list below to find one of the best gaming TVs for your PS5.

Sony Bravia 8 — Best PS5 features

(Image credit: Tom’s Guide)
Although it originally launched in 2024, the Sony Bravia 8 still offers incredible gaming performance. It’s the only TV on this list that comes with PS5-exclusive features, which include Auto Genre Picture Mode and HDR Tone Mapping.

The Sony Bravia 8 is a TV you almost have to see to believe, as its metrics don’t do it justice. Case in point is its lower luminance numbers against other premium sets at the same price, with the Bravia 8 topping out at just 815 nits in HDR versus 1,187 nits on the Samsung S90D.
Sony TVs also typically have some of the highest input latency in our testing, and the Bravia 8 is no different. We measured this set at 12.6ms of input lag, which is fine, but could be much better.
Still, the Bravia 8 punches up with its color volume, covering 75% of the Rec2020 gamut and 99.11% of the UHDA-P3 gamut, which means games like Armored Core 6 and Elden Ring will look phenomenal on this set.

Sony 65″ Bravia 8 OLED TV: was $1,999 now $1,399 at Best Buy
The Bravia 8 was launched in 2024 and while it may not yield the most impressive performance metrics, it does offer incredible color coverage in HDR. It also comes with an ATSC 3.0 tuner, meaning you have access to Nextgen TV and 4K broadcasts in between gaming sessions.

LG C5 OLED — Best value

(Image credit: Tom’s Guide)
The LG C5 OLED is one of the most affordable 2025 OLED TVs you can buy right now, yet it still offers incredible gaming performance and features to meet the demands of most modern titles. It’s equipped with four HDMI 2.1 ports, which is great if you plan on upgrading the speaker with a soundbar — something that I highly recommend.
Sure, the LG C5 doesn’t have the most bombastic sound stage, but it does boast some of the lowest input latency in our lab tests this year. It clocks in at 9.1ms, which is neck-and-neck with another OLED on this list, the Samsung S90F.
Gaming aside, it’s also a gorgeous screen for movies and TV shows. It offers relatively good HDR brightness for an OLED TV, but it lacks the same color coverage as the S90F, particularly in the Rec2020 gamut tests.

Still, with a max 144Hz refresh rate via VRR and an extensive gaming menu, the C5 is a no-brainer if you’re looking for a quality OLED to pair with the PS5 but don’t want to spend over $2,000.

LG 65-inch C5 OLED TV: was $2,696 now $1,696 at Amazon
The LG C5 OLED is one of our favorite value TVs and is brilliant for those looking to save a little on the more advanced screen. With the C5, you get tons of gaming features, including a 144Hz refresh rate built on four total HDMI 2.1 ports. LG’s webOS platform also has a slew of free channels to dive into as well as cloud gaming platforms.

Samsung S90F — Best mid-range performance

(Image credit: Future)
I spent a week testing the Samsung S90F OLED, and I’m already convinced it’s one of the best OLED TVs this year. Granted, it does have a few setbacks, like a middling speaker system. (Nothing one of the best soundbars can’t fix.) It also doesn’t support Dolby Vision, but since the PS5 is also without the HDR format, you won’t be missing much.
As previously mentioned, the S90F has an extremely low input latency of 9.1ms, surpassing not just its predecessor but also the higher-end Samsung S95F. It’s also one of only two TVs to cover exactly 100% of the UHDA-P3 gamut this year, mirroring the Sony Bravia 8 II.
If you’re looking for a value OLED TV, one that isn’t too expensive but still has excellent picture performance (particularly when it comes to HDR color and color accuracy), the Samsung S90F is the one to buy.

Lowest Price! Samsung 65-inch S90F 4K OLED TV: was $2,497 now $1,697 at Amazon
The Samsung S90F OLED TV is combines a 144Hz refresh rate with one of Samsung’s best upscaling processers. It also has Tizen OS, which is built with tons of free channels not to mention several cloud gaming services, and a full Gaming Hub for all your settings in one place. The S90F also has tons of AI baked into it, like an AI Sound Pro that boosts audio dramatically.

Panasonic Z95B — Best audio

(Image credit: Tom’s Guide)
I’ve ranted and raved about the 2024 Panasonic Z95A quite a lot over the last year, and Panasonic improved the display with exciting upgrades for 2025. The Panasonic Z95B OLED TV launched only a few months ago, and it might well be one of the best TVs bar none.
Unlike its counterparts, the Z95B takes audio seriously. Sure, you could get a soundbar to elevate your home entertainment audio setup, but the Z95B doesn’t need one. It’s already kitted out with a 5.1.2-channel speaker with a 170W output, which is just absurd for a TV.
Add to that its multi-faceted audio software that lets you customize and optimize the sound across a wide range of settings, and you’ve got the single best OLED for audiophiles. If that wasn’t enough, the Panasonic Z95B is also equipped with an extensive gaming menu that lets you change sound modes to suit any genre.
Seriously, this is the OLED to buy if you have no budget and don’t want to fiddle with adding a sound system to your cart.

Panasonic 65″ Z95B OLED TV: was $3,399 now $2,997 at Amazon
The Panasonic Z95B is the OLED to beat in 2025. It seemingly pulls out all the stops, offering exceptionally high HDR brightness for an OLED, great color accuracy, and one of the most robust speaker systems in the market. This is by far one of the most feature-rich OLEDs you can buy, but it does miss the mark in some key areas, like only having two HDMI 2.1 ports, and using Fire TV, which isn’t for everyone.

Samsung S95F — Best premium OLED

(Image credit: Tom’s Guide)
If you’re willing to spend a high premium on a new TV for your PS5 in the biggest size possible, look no further than the 83-inch Samsung S95F OLED. It comes with all the same great features baked into the S90F, but has even better picture performance and probably the best anti-glare technology money can buy on an OLED TV.
The Samsung S90F might beat it slightly in input latency, but the S95F still hits a low 9.5ms. While the PS5 only supports up to 4K/120Hz, the S95F does also have a 165Hz refresh rate, so if you ever plan on upgrading to one of the best gaming PCs, you’re covered.
What makes the S95F an utter game changer is its exceptionally high HDR brightness. OLED TVs don’t often hit high luminance levels, but the S95F managed to hit 2,138 nits in a 10% window. That’s pretty remarkable for an OLED, and pretty much means glare won’t be a problem for you. Trust us, on a TV this size, you’re going to need it.
You can also expect darker video games, like Silent Hill f, Chronos: The New Dawn, and Hell Is Us, to look breathtaking and lifelike on this display. That’s thanks to its inky blacks, coupled with the quantum dots in its QD-OLED panel that give scenes that pop of intense color.

Samsung 83″ S95F OLED TV: was $6,297 now $5,997 at Amazon
The Samsung S95F OLED TV is the top Samsung OLED in 2025, offering a 165Hz refresh rate on one of Samsung’s best upscaling processors. It also has Tizen OS, which is built with tons of free channels, not to mention several cloud gaming services, and a full Gaming Hub for all your settings in one place. Like the S90F, the S95F also offers AI Sound Pro technology that boosts audio dramatically.
