PC players can reach 4K/144Hz or 1080p/288Hz, providing unusually flexible high-refresh options for a television.
Pros: resolution, HDR format support
Cons: software updates, account requirements
High-refresh-rate gaming works extremely well, with one reviewer sustaining 120 frames per second in a demanding PS5 title.
Pros: display technology, response time
Cons: setup ease, account requirements
High-refresh play looks smooth and responsive, giving modern consoles and gaming PCs room to run at their supported frame rates.
Pros: overall image accuracy, resolution
Cons: motion clarity, response time
The move from 144Hz to 165Hz is a useful upgrade for PC players. One test found intermittent flicker and softness at 165Hz, while 120Hz remained more stable.
Pros: resolution, contrast ratio
Cons: HDR10+ support, account requirements
PC gaming reaches up to 165Hz, while consoles are exceptionally well served at 120Hz. The maximum 165Hz mode can trade some gradation and chroma quality for speed.
Pros: panel type, display technology
Cons: account requirements, DTS support
