What’s the Difference Between 4K and Blu-ray?
The distinction between 4K and Blu-ray is mostly about resolution. A standard Blu-ray disc will usually offer 1080p resolution whereas a 4K disc will offer 2160p resolution. And while all Blu-ray players will be able to play those 1080p discs, not every machine is equipped for 4K.
Best 4K TVs
If you’re looking to buy a new TV that will make your 4K movies shine, you’ll definitely want to take a look at our favorites. Our tech editors have selected the best 4K TVs for gaming, which will also work great for movie-watching. And since both the PS5 and Xbox Series X have 4K Blu-ray play-back built in, you’ll probably be doing plenty of gaming on them as well.
LG C5 OLED Smart Gaming TV

The LG G5 is currently our top pick for a gaming TV, but the price on those refelcts their quality. Which is to say they’re really expensive. If you want a deal on a terrific TV in a more reasonable price range, you might want to consider picking an LG C3, which costs significantly less for the same size TV. Get the one that best fits your needs and your budget.
