This new version of the console features a much smaller form factor and even a slightly larger hard drive. For many, the PS5 Slim is a great entry point to the world of PlayStation gaming. But grabbing the console is not enough. To really draw out the console’s potential, you’ll need a TV that can show off its true power.
So what TVs are best for the PS5 Slim? And what should you look for in a PS5 Slim TV? Our Reliant tech experts understand the need for great display options in modern gaming. So we’ve put them to the task of picking the best displays that will pair effortlessly with a PS5 Slim!
What TV Features Are Best For The PS5 Slim?
The original PlayStation 5 console was often derided for its massive form factor. The original console had a vertical height of around 16 inches. This made it very difficult for some gamers to find the perfect spot for their TV. In some cases, it also meant that gamers were forced to opt for smaller television screens, just to sit the console beside it!
The PS5 Slim, on the other hand, is only 14 inches tall and has a far reduced width. This means that you can pick up a much larger display to pair with the console. The PS5 Slim can more easily be propped up beside the screen, or nestled away safely in a cabinet.
The PS5 Slim’s small form factor means the console can easily be stored. So you can easily opt for a much larger TV! Just make sure to grab a 4K display with a 120Hz refresh rate!
In terms of graphical power, the PS5 Slim is not too dissimilar to the original PlayStation 5. It can output at 4K, and at 120 frames per second. So, in order to take advantage of these graphical benefits, you’ll want at least a 4K display. And preferably one with a 120Hz refresh rate!
