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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.
