Hello I am contacting you because I am a little lost in terms of living room TVs optimized for the PS5, I spotted the LG C4 in 65 inches, can you confirm that my games will run at 120 Hz and not 100 or 144 Hz I'm looking for a living room TV that does real 120 Hz for the PS5. Thank you for your site, it helps me a lot. Sincerely

Difficult to navigate with the marketing of figures hammered out by all manufacturers in general – in this case in the field of gaming – and we can understand that not everything is clear to consumers. The answer is fortunately quite simple for this specific case: who can do more, can do less. A television (or monitor) that can go up to 144 Hz will of course be able to display 60, 100 or 120 Hz.

120 fps sur PS5 ?

The maximum image refresh is more relative to the performance of the machine than to the technical sheet of the television. It is the PS5 which will be limiting to reach 120 fps (frame per second or frames per second in good French) and therefore benefit from 120 Hz, and demanding games will often run at a much lower value anyway. The PS5 Pro should improve this situation a little, but let's remember that only PCs can currently reach 144 Hz on a television. PCs are in any case better equipped in this area, and some monitors are even capable of displaying up to 480 Hz or 560 Hz today, but that's another story.

Coming back to the LG C4 in question, it is fully 120 Hz compatible with an efficient panel and HDMI 2.1 ports compatible with ALLM and VRR and, as we showed in our test, it is an excellent television for gaming video, but also for cinema. You can therefore go there with your eyes closed, or look at our buying guide dedicated to the best televisions for PS5 if you want to have other ideas:
