Good day. I’m looking for good tv for my ps5 without spending too much. I’ve found
these models at my local store:

Sony X85DJ or TCL 55C725

Which is better?

The Sony will be much brighter and have better contrast. I'd lean towards that.

I'd save a bit and buy a NEO QLED from Samsung. Mini led and good brightness levels will make a massive difference for HDR content, which is heavily supported by PS5 titles.

I broke my telly recently so need a new one mainly for ps5. 

 

Is it worth the considerable extra cash to get a 120hz one? 

 

Few hundred quid for a 4k 60hz  at least double for a 120hz. Wonder if any ps5 owners have noticed a difference?

Have you got a link as it seems theres a lot or variations of that tv.

 

This one looks like it would do the job, Within budget and has the 120hz refresh. Although at the moment it seems a bit silly considering there are so few native ps5 titles. Still at least it will be future proof (for a year or two anyway!).

 

Its nanocell though and have no idea what that means

This one also. Its the same size as the broken one too!!

Price is not too bad. Think I am gonna be gaming on my ps5 now rather than pc since amazon lost my 3080! Still have a 5700xt which will do the job. I just want to go back to the simplicity of a console that plugs into a tv and plays games!

Actually the one above is only 60Hz

 

Don't want to send £1000 on a tv, even though money is not a massive problem I have wasted a fortune these past 12-18 months attempting crypto mining which was basically a disaster from start to finish so trying to recoup some losses before spending another thousand quid on technology!

Take a look at rtings PS5 section.

 

They have pretty in depth reviews. I would definitely go with one that would be on their list.

 

You're sure to find one within your budget.

With a 120Hz TV you can use the 40fps mode that some PS5 games will have, though the only one I know that currently has it is Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. Horizon Forbidden West should also get a 40fps mode in a future patch. Basically in 40fps mode you get the same graphical fidelity as in 30fps but at a higher fps. I've got an LG CX which is 120Hz and while an extra 10fps might not sound like much it actually makes a big difference, it's of course not as fluid as 60fps but much better than 30fps. Why you need a 120Hz TV for 40 fps is that in that mode the console sends a frame to the TV every third refresh, so 120/3 = 40.

 

Here's Digital Foundry's video on the subject:

Not watched the video but surely 40fps is pretty terrible these days unless I am missing something!

 

Why would a ps5 game have such a low frame rate? I am clearly missing something. 40fps on a 120hz display is pointless surely?

Originally Ratchet & Clank had three graphics modes: 

 

Performance: 60fps, no raytracing, 1620p - 1800p resolution

Performance RT: 60fps, raytracing, 1080p - 1440p resolution

Fidelity: 30fps, raytracing, 1800p - 2160p resolution

 

The 40fps mode increases the frame rate of the Fidelity mode so you get the best possible graphics at a higher frame rate and also reduced input latency. But like I said, that requires a 120Hz TV.

Interesting.

 

I have ordered the telly above so hopefully will be a good experience. Price was quite reasonable for the spec I think. 120Hz seems a no brainer really if buying new these days. I imagine there won't be many 60 Hz displays around in 3/4 years but I could be wrong. 

 

Been quite impressed with the ps5 visually but only had it on a QHD 165Hz and a 4k 60Hz both of which are pretty good. So expecting this to have the best of both worlds. All I need Sony is for developers to make some ps5 native games! Instead of filling the subscriptions with ps4 games, or older. Is I wanted a load of ps4 games, I would have bought a ps4 and saved £300!
