PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S both support 4K resolution, 120Hz refresh rates, Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), and HDR, but no TV or monitor gets you all four just by being expensive. GTA VI’s open world spans neon-lit streets, open water, and long sightlines across the Leonida Keys, and how much of that detail actually reaches your eyes depends on the display you’re using, not just the console. This guide compares OLED TVs, mini-LED and QLED TVs, and gaming monitors across price tiers so you can match a display to your room, budget, and setup.

| Samsung QN90D | Mini-LED | 65" | 4K | Yes | HDR10+, HLG | Brightest QLED | $1,499.99 |
| Hisense U8N | Mini-LED | 65" | 4K | Yes | Dolby Vision, HDR10+ | Best value | $999.99 |
| TCL QM8 | QD-Mini-LED | 65" | 4K | Yes | Dolby Vision, HDR10+ | Best value | $999.99 |

| Dell AW3225QF | QD-OLED | 32" | 4K | Yes | HDR True Black 400 | Curved monitor | $899.99 |
| Gigabyte M32U | IPS | 32" | 4K | Yes | HDR400 | Budget monitor | $649.99 |
Best overall TV: LG OLED (C5 or G5)
LG’s OLED lineup is the default recommendation for a reason. Every pixel produces and controls its own light, so black areas of the screen are actually off, not just dimmed, which matters for GTA VI’s night driving and neon-heavy street scenes. The C5 (65-inch, $1,499.99) pairs that panel with a native 144Hz refresh rate, HDMI 2.1 on all four HDMI ports, and input lag low enough that both fast-paced shooting and open-world driving feel responsive.
The G5uses a brighter panel and LG’s Gallery Design, which sits flatter against a wall without a stand, aimed at rooms with more ambient light. It costs meaningfully more than the C5 for a similar core feature set, so it’s worth the upgrade mainly if your living room gets real daylight.

Best Samsung TV: S95D OLED or QN90D QLED
Samsung skips Dolby Vision in favor of its own HDR10+ format, but the S95D(65-inch, $1,799.99) is a QD-OLED panel with the same kind of per-pixel contrast as LG’s OLEDs, plus a glare-free coating that cuts reflections better than most competing TVs in a bright room. It supports HDMI 2.1 and VRR, and is compatible with both G-Sync and FreeSync Premium Pro.
If you want Samsung’s picture processing without OLED’s price, the QN90D (65-inch, $1,499.99) is a mini-LED alternative with an anti-glare screen and enough peak brightness to hold up in a sunlit room where even a good OLED can look dim by comparison.
Best value TV: Hisense U8N or TCL QM8
Mini-LED TVs use a backlight with hundreds or thousands of independently dimmed zones instead of self-lit pixels. It’s not quite OLED-level contrast, but it gets close, at a fraction of the price, and with more raw brightness. The Hisense U8N (65-inch, $999.99) includes a 144Hz Game Mode Pro, HDMI 2.1, and Dolby Vision, with enough peak brightness to compete with TVs twice its price.
The TCL QM8(65-inch, $999.99) is Hisense’s closest competitor: a QD-Mini LED panel with a 144Hz native refresh rate, HDMI 2.1, and Bang & Olufsen-tuned audio, which is a rare inclusion at this price. Between the two, picture quality is close enough that smart TV platform preference (Google TV on both) and whichever is discounted at the time should decide it.
Best gaming monitor: ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDM
If you’d rather sit closer on a desk than across a living room, a 32-inch 4K monitor is the sweet spot for console gaming without needing to scale up UI text. The ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDM($1,129.99) is a 4K QD-OLED panel at 240Hz with HDMI 2.1, a custom heatsink to help manage OLED heat over long sessions, and 99% DCI-P3 color coverage. On PS5 or Xbox Series X|S you’ll only use up to 120Hz of that refresh rate, but the panel, contrast, and color are the real draw for console play, with extra headroom there if you also game on PC.
The Dell Alienware AW3225QF ($899.99) is a close alternative: also a 32-inch 4K QD-OLED at 240Hz, with a curved screen that some players find more immersive for open-world games. If OLED is outside your budget, the Gigabyte M32U($649.99) swaps in a 4K IPS panel at 144Hz, still with HDMI 2.1, for meaningfully less money. You give up OLED’s contrast but keep every gaming feature that actually matters for console play.
Budget pick: Hisense U7N or TCL QM7
You don’t need to spend four figures to get a display that does right by GTA VI. The Hisense U7N (65-inch, $749.99) keeps the essentials from the U8N: mini-LED backlighting, HDMI 2.1, 144Hz Game Mode Pro, and VRR, dropping some brightness and local-dimming precision to hit a lower price. The TCL QM7 (65-inch, $799.99) is the equivalent step down from the QM8: a QD-Mini LED panel with 120 to 144Hz refresh and HDMI 2.1. Neither will match a flagship OLED in a dark room, but both cover every spec that actually matters for console gaming.
What to look for in a GTA VI display
Rockstar hasn’t published resolution or frame rate targets for GTA VI on any platform, so buy for general display quality and confirmed console capabilities, not a specific promised number. A few specs matter more than the rest:
- HDMI 2.1: the port standard that actually carries 4K at 120Hz, VRR, and Auto Low Latency Mode from PS5 or Xbox Series X|S to your screen. A TV with a fast panel but only HDMI 2.0 ports can’t use any of that.
- 4K resolution: both consoles are built around 4K output, and it’s the safer long-term choice even before GTA VI has a confirmed resolution target.
- 120Hz refresh rate: lets you use a 120Hz performance mode if GTA VI offers one, the same way many current-gen games do.
- VRR (Variable Refresh Rate): smooths out frame-rate dips by syncing the display to the console instead of a fixed refresh rate, reducing stutter and screen tearing.
- Low input lag: matters more in an open world with driving and shooting than it does in a slower-paced game. Every display in this guide measures well here in independent testing.
- HDR: expands the range between the darkest and brightest parts of the image, useful for neon signage against dark streets and bright daytime skies over open water.
