Best TV for PlayStation Gaming: Forget 3D, Target 4K/HDR/120Hz

3D TVs are dead. No current PlayStation (PS4/PS5) supports 3D gaming. Sony removed 3D output in PS4 firmware 1.70 (2014). Buying a used 3D TV for PlayStation is a bad investment.

What Actually Matters for PS5 / PS4 / PS4 Pro

Feature	Why It Matters	Target Spec
Resolution	PS5/PS4 Pro render 4K (checkerboard/native). 1080p TV wastes detail.	4K (3840×2160)
HDR (High Dynamic Range)	Wider color gamut (DCI-P3), higher peak brightness, deeper blacks. PS5/PS4 Pro HDR10.	HDR10 minimum; Dolby Vision not supported on PS.
Refresh Rate	PS5 supports 120Hz at 4K (HDMI 2.1). 120fps modes in CoD, Dirt 5, Fortnite.	120Hz native panel + HDMI 2.1 ports
VRR (Variable Refresh Rate)	Eliminates screen tear/stutter without VSync lag. PS5 supports HDMI Forum VRR.	FreeSync Premium / HDMI Forum VRR certified
Input Lag	Time from button press to pixel change. Critical for competitive.	< 15ms (Game Mode), < 10ms ideal
Panel Type	OLED: perfect blacks, instant response. Mini-LED: bright, no burn-in. VA/IPS: budget.	OLED (LG C/G series, Sony A95L) or Mini-LED (Samsung QN90C, TCL QM8)
