perfect for ps5 2026-03-03

why not C6K? It's perfect for your PS5 and in darkish Room since it has basic requirements to have good HDR. 700+ Nits ✅ Enough Dimming zones so blacks look like black ✅ Wide Color Gamut with support on all HDR Format including Dolby Vision ✅ Actually decent speaker setup with subass ✅ And most importantly for your PS5 is 144hz VRR ✅ That tv is literally on sale every week and it kinda future proof for a while since it's a decent enough tv for all use cases including HDR viewing giving you "Real" HDR vs "Fake" HD

More flexible for casual viewing 2026-02-25

Honestly, I’d go for the LG OLED C3, great value OLED, perfect for OTT bingeing and PS5 with 4K/120Hz and insane contrast. If you want something more flexible for casual viewing, even the LG StanbyME 1 is a fun add-on

Excellent for work and gaming 2026-02-23

Have one and it’s excellent. I use it for both work and gaming. It’s perfect for my 4090 build. I do think it may be overkill for your use case though. The Xbox and ps5 aren’t outputting anything beyond 120fps. I suppose you’d be future proofing though.
