One of the biggest features of Sony's forthcoming PlayStation 5 (and the Xbox Series X) is support for 4K resolution gameplay at 120 frames per second (and 8K at probably 60fps), so naturally PS5 (and Series X) owners will want a 4K/120fps-ready TV that can make the most of that promise of super-sharp, super-smooth gameplay.

While the current choice isn't as vast as you might think, many new TVs do support 4K/120fps over HDMI. (This resolution and frame rate pairing is actually a HDMI 2.1 feature, although just because a TV supports HDMI 2.1 doesn't necessarily mean it supports 4K/120fps, and vice versa.) These compatible TVs include LG's 2020 OLED TV range, most of Samsung's 2020 QLED TVs (bar the entry-level Q60T range and the 49in Q80T model) and a couple of Sony's 2020 TVs...

The XH90 can display 4K at 120fps images with a low input lag of 7.2 milliseconds (based on based Sony's internal testing conditions), while the ZH8, in addition to that, will also be able to make the most of the PS5's 8K support (again via a future firmware update) – although who knows how many 8K PS5 games will actually be available!
