How to choose

Check input lag

Lower is better. Tom's Guide measured 8.9 ms on the LG B6 in Game Optimizer mode and 9.1 ms on the LG C6 in game mode.

Compare HDR brightness

Brighter HDR makes highlights pop. In the same choose.tv test, the LG C6 hit 1,527 nits, the Samsung S85H 837, the LG B6 804 and the LG B5 628.

Count full-speed ports

PlayStation says the PS5 outputs 4K at 120 Hz over HDMI 2.1. Wilson's Media says the Roku Pro Series OLED runs only 2 of its 4 HDMI 2.1 ports at full 4K 120Hz.

Plan for sound

choose.tv lists 2.0-channel, 20W speakers on the LG B6 and Samsung S85H, against 2.2-channel, 40W on the LG C6. Tom's Guide calls the B6 speaker system weak.

Know launch prices

Tom's Guide lists the 55-inch Roku Pro Series OLED at $999.99. What Hi-Fi lists the 55-inch Samsung S85H at $1,499 and the 55-inch LG C6 at $1,999.

The trap

Every HDMI 2.1 port runs full speed

Not on every TV. The Roku Pro Series OLED has four HDMI 2.1 ports, but Wilson's Media says only 2 run full 4K 120Hz. On the LG C6, all four do, so a PS5, a PS5 Pro and a soundbar can share it at full speed.

Questions buyers ask

Did you test these yourselves?
No. Gear Receipts never tests products itself. Every number on this page comes from published lab tests such as Tom's Guide, choose.tv and What Hi-Fi, or from buyer reviews at Best Buy and Sam's Club, and each one links to its source.
Which OLED TV has the lowest input lag for PS5?
Tom's Guide measured the LG B6 at 8.9 ms in Game Optimizer mode and the LG C6 at 9.1 ms in game mode. TechRadar says the B6E uses the same panel as the B6. choose.tv measured the Samsung S85H at about 10 ms at 4K 60Hz.
Does a PS5 need a 144Hz or 165Hz TV?
No. PlayStation says the PS5 follows the HDMI 2.1 standard and outputs 4K at 120 Hz. Higher ceilings, like the LG C6's 165Hz listed by Smart Home Perfected, matter for gaming PCs.
How do I turn on VRR on my PS5?
Go to Settings, then Screen and Video, then Video Output, per PlayStation's guide. The PlayStation Blog says VRR turns on by itself for supported games on HDMI 2.1 VRR TVs, and you can also apply it to games that don't support it. If that causes odd visual effects, PlayStation says you can turn the option off at any time.
Is the LG B5 still worth buying over the B6E?
RTINGS calls the B5 the best TV under $1,000 it has tested. choose.tv measured the B6 at 734 to 804 nits on small HDR highlights, against 589 to 628 nits on the B5. So the B5 only makes sense if you find it cheaper than the B6E.
Does the Samsung S85H support Dolby Vision?
No. What Hi-Fi says the S85H supports no version of Dolby Vision, including Dolby Vision Gaming. It handles HDR10+, HDR10 and HLG only.

The LG C6 is the PS5 OLED to get
