You still can’t pre-order a PS5, but the first official ‘Ready for PlayStation 5’ televisions are already on the market. On Wednesday, Sony Electronics announced that it had created a new ‘Ready for PlayStation 5’ slogan in partnership with Sony Interactive Entertainment to make it easier for future PS5 owners to determine which TVs will be able to take full advantage of next-gen consoles. specs and features when launching this holiday season.
In a press release, Sony revealed that the X900H 4K HDR Full Array LED and Z8H 8K HDR Full Array LED models are the first televisions to carry the slogan. According to Sony, the X900H “displays gaming images of up to 4K resolution at 120 fps with a very low input delay of 7.2 ms”, while the Z8H “is capable of displaying incredibly detailed 8K resolution images and also displays images gaming resolution 4K at super smooth 120fps. “
If you are looking for a new TV and plan to purchase the PS5 this fall, here are the listings for both TVs:
In addition to being top-of-the-line televisions, the X900H and Z8H also have a game mode “that allows users to automatically play on the PS5 with low latency.” Also, with game mode, you can activate your TV and PS5 at the same time with your DualSense controller, or control your PS5 using the TV’s remote control.
Here’s what we learned about the PS5’s specs during the Road to PS5 live stream earlier this year:
PS5 will feature a CPU with 8 Zen 2 cores at 3.5 GHz, a GPU capable of 10.28 TFLOP, 36 CU at 2.23 GHz, custom RDNA 2 GPU architecture, 16 GB of GDDR6 RAM, memory bandwidth of 448 GB / s and a custom 825 GB SSD. It will also have a 4K UHD Blu-ray drive and an NVMe SSD slot for expandable storage.
There are still a lot of things we don’t know about the PS5, but Sony still has a lot to tell us before the console gets in order. We don’t know how much it costs, when it will be on store shelves, or even what the operating system will look like when the console starts. Let’s hope to get some of those answers before the end of August.
