GTA 6 TV: what to buy and what to look for in 2026
For GTA 6, look at contrast, HDR and game mode first; 120 Hz still pays off in other games while Rockstar hasn't confirmed its graphics modes.

For GTA 6, look first at what you’ll actually see: 4K, good contrast, HDR and a low-latency game mode. The only performance figure that has leaked points to 30 frames per second on console. If that rate holds, a 120 Hz panel won’t make GTA 6 generate more frames; it will still come in handy for other games.
Davy Jones came back from Rockstar North with that number: 30 FPS. By his account, Rob Nelson, the studio’s co-head, told him the game was running at that rate on consoles. VGC reported his comments.
Rockstar still hasn’t published the final resolution or graphics modes for each console.
What to look for in a GTA 6 TV
First comes the panel. An OLED can switch off each pixel individually: where the image calls for black, there’s no backlight left on behind it. A mini-LED keeps an LCD screen, but splits the backlight into many zones to better control which parts light up and which stay dark.
Neon at night, dark interiors, a beach in full sun and reflections on the water: the GTA 6 trailers have already shown where that screen is going to work. That’s where you’ll notice contrast and HDR long before the difference between 120 and 144 Hz on the spec sheet.
Next comes game mode. It cuts back some of the image processing to lower latency: you press the button and the screen responds sooner. If the TV supports ALLM, the console can switch that mode on automatically.
HDMI 2.1 matters mostly if you also play titles that run at 120 Hz, because it allows 4K signals at 120 Hz and features like VRR on compatible hardware. I wouldn’t buy a new TV just for that port on the hope of a possible 60 FPS mode in GTA 6.
If you play at a desk or want a smaller screen, the GTA 6 monitor guide covers that case better.
Budget: TCL QM6K
TechRadar picks the TCL QM6K as its best budget gaming TV in its guide to gaming TVs, updated on August 7, 2026.
It’s a QD-Mini LED TV with a 4K panel and a native 144 Hz refresh rate. TCL splits the backlight into up to 500 dimming zones to control light more precisely than a conventional LCD.
Sun on one part of the scene, shade on another: those zones mean the screen doesn’t have to light both the same way.
For GTA 6, the QM6K covers 4K, HDR and gaming features, including Dolby Vision gaming and ALLM, without jumping straight to OLED prices. Its 144 Hz will get more work from other games than from GTA 6 if the title stays at the 30 FPS that has leaked.
Mid-range: LG C6 OLED
TechRadar names the LG C6 its best gaming TV overall in the same guide.
Every pixel switches off its own light. Where the image calls for black, there’s no backlight pushing from behind. That’s the advantage you see most in night scenes, lights against dark backgrounds and high-contrast areas.
It also has four HDMI 2.1 ports. PS5, Xbox and other devices can stay plugged into inputs that handle the highest-bandwidth gaming features, with no cable swapping.
For GTA 6, you’re mainly paying for the picture here: blacks, contrast and HDR. The panel’s 120 Hz or more also pays off in other games that do run at high refresh rates.
If your budget doesn’t stretch to the C6, TechRadar names the LG B6 its budget gaming OLED.
High end: Sony Bravia 8 II
TechRadar picks the Sony Bravia 8 II as its best TV for PS5.
It’s a QD-OLED with 4K at 120 Hz and PS5-specific integration features. It does have two HDMI 2.1 ports, though, fewer than the LG C6’s four.
A console and TV wearing the same logo doesn’t, on its own, add any confirmed improvement for GTA 6. TechRadar’s recommendation comes from its general testing with PS5.
As an alternative high-end reference, RTINGS names the Samsung S95H OLED its best TV for gaming in its guide updated in 2026.
See Sony Bravia 8 II on Amazon.
If you already have a 4K TV
Already have 4K, HDR and a game mode that responds well? Keep your wallet where it is.
Rockstar still hasn’t published GTA 6 specs that would force you to replace that screen. Before buying another one, turn on game mode and calibrate HDR from the console settings.
Then listen to the speakers. If the picture holds up but the sound falls short, a GTA 6 headset can fix that part without replacing the whole TV.
Which one to pick
The TCL QM6K is the most restrained purchase in this guide: mini-LED, 4K, HDR and gaming features, with 144 Hz for the games that can use it.
The LG C6 makes the jump to OLED and adds four HDMI 2.1 ports. If GTA 6 shares the screen with other games and several consoles, those are two easy advantages to put to use.
The Sony Bravia 8 II holds the high end for PS5, according to TechRadar. It has tighter integration with the console, although only two of its HDMI ports offer the 2.1 features.
If you already have a good 4K set with HDR and game mode, I’d wait to try GTA 6 on that screen before buying another.

What isn’t confirmed
Rockstar hasn’t published GTA 6’s resolution on PS5, PS5 Pro, Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S.
It also hasn’t officially confirmed a 60 frames per second mode or detailed which HDR formats the game will use.
PlayStation’s official GTA 6 page lists the game as “PS5 Pro Enhanced,” but doesn’t yet explain what changes.
We’ll update this guide when Rockstar publishes the final graphics modes and picture features.
