If you’re looking for a quality TV to use with your PlayStation 5, but also need to stick to a budget, the LG QNED80 is a great option. It’s available in screen sizes from as small as 50 inches to an impressive 86-inch version for dedicated gaming spaces and home theaters. And with an affordable price tag at any size, you won’t have to choose between buying a new TV and snagging a few games off your wish list.

And even at such a low price, the QNED80 still offers plenty of features that gamers have come to expect as-standard, such as: a 120Hz refresh rate, VRR support via AMD FreeSync, 4K resolution, HDR10 support, and Dolby audio. It even has a few exciting extras like Nvidia GeForce NOW support for cloud-based gaming, and a dedicated gaming dashboard for keeping tabs on refresh rates and picture settings in real-time.
ZDNET’s Artie Beaty was pleasantly surprised with the LG QNED80 when he got to test it out in person. He was impressed with the picture and sound quality for being considered an “entry-level” TV, though he did note that it only had one HDMI port that supports an ARC passthrough. So if you have multiple consoles as well as a soundbar, you’ll have to choose which console is connected to the only other HDMI 2.1 port for VRR support and higher refresh rates. Verified reviews at Amazon and Best Buy also praise the TV for its high-quality audio and picture, though a few do note that the screen has a glossy finish, which creates reflections and glare that can reduce viewing angles and visibility in bright environments.
