PS5owners have just got a great piece of news courtesy ofSony, with the firm confirming that “Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) support will start rolling out globally to PS5 players this week”.
As T3previously reported on, VRRis a big dealfor PS5 gamers as it allows your screen to adjust how often it refreshes the image to match the frame rate from your console or PC. As we’vepreviously explained, that basically means the frame rate of the game and TV are in sync, which leads to smoother, better graphics and removes unwanted graphical problems like screen tearing.
So the fact that Hideaki Nishino, Senior Vice President of Platform Experience has confirmed on theofficial PlayStation Blogthat PS5 owners can look forward to the rollout of VRR starting this week is great news.
Well, it’s good news providing you have a TV that supports VRR that is – and specifically the type of VRR thatPlayStation5 supports, which is HDMI 2.1-standard VRR. VRR comes in a variety of proprietary flavours, too, including AMD’s FreeSync and Nvidia’s G-Sync, andMicrosoft’sXbox Series XandXbox Series Sconsoles support AMD FreeSyncas well asHDMI 2.1-standard VRR.
But what PS5 gamers need is a TV that is HDMI 2.1-standard VRR compatible to make the most of this feature being turned on. For a great selection of displays that support HDMI 2.1-standard VRR check out T3’sbest gaming TVsguide. T3 has also put together a list of what we consider to be thetop affordable 4K VRR-compatible TVs, too. These TVs also will allow you to make the most of the PlayStation 5’s 4K 120Hz support as well.
From a personal point of view I recommend theLG C1 OLEDas a great choice here for PS5 owners. This TV, as well as this year’s newer version, theLG C2 OLED, both support VRR and come with a host of game-enhancing specs and features.
