LG's 55-inch organic EL TV 'OLED 55CXPJA' compatible with PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X 4K 120fps review
In order to get the best performance from PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, you also need to consider the corresponding monitors. In particular, it not only supports 4K / 120fps, but also supports a variable refresh rate (VRR) that changes the frame rate in the range of 30fps to 120fps, and Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) that automatically switches to low delay mode. When it comes to refreshing TV, the options are quite limited. Meanwhile, LG's organic EL TV ' OLED55CXPJA ' is one of the few 4K TVs that supports 4K / 120fps, VRR, and ALLM, so I actually connected PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and played with it.

The monitor on the left is a monitor that supports 4K resolution, but while it is highly responsive, its color reproduction is low, and the colors are inevitably lightened.
