The hype for the PlayStation 5 is at an all-time high right now. Fans are ready to pre-order, the next-gen games are looking great, and the future is generally looking pretty bright. The Twitter account for PlayStation Spain clearly recognised this though and decided to play a bit of a cruel joke on its followers. A short while ago, it tweeted the official profile for Sony Spain asking if it could get a heads up on some PS5 news dropping later today.
The account responded with: "Stay tuned for what's to come!" However, the PlayStation Spain account wasn't having any of that. It, much like us, wanted to know right now. And here's where, unfortunately, the troll begins.
All the Sony Spain account had to announce was a range of Bravia TVs that have been dubbed "Ready for PlayStation 5". We assume these sets sport the very best 4K visuals, HDR, and HDMI 2.1 capabilities the hardware manufacturer has to offer, but it's obviously not the news that PlayStation fans were hoping for. The two accounts knew exactly what they were doing though -- wink emojis and all.
Let's hope the information we're waiting for is just around the corner. Strong rumours of a State of Play livestream in August have been circulating for a while now and the Japanese giant will have to talk sooner or later. Are you thinking of purchasing a new TV for the PS5? Fork out the cash in the comments below.

Top trolling!
I don't wanna buy a new tv that's why I want 1080p 60-90 fps in Miles Morales with ray tracing and stuff
Spaniards, what do you expect from those people....
HDMI 2.1 does this mean my 4K TV With HDMI 2 Will need upgrading..............I am ready
We might get some proper news in the next few days though.
Samsung Q80T is the tv am planning to get for my ps5
@Number09 I assume the PS5 will be able to scale down to 1080p 60 frames a second for the old HDMI 1.
@Ryall cheers just checked its HDMI 2 I think i'll get 4K 60fs I'm happy with that.
I looked into getting one of the new, smaller (48-50") OLED TV with HDMI 2.1 and VRR. Seems if you want quality then only the LG CX delivered this. If you want HDMI 2.1 on a Bravia you'll need to go with the latest LED models 55" and up.
Problem with LG is that their arrangements with subscription based streaming services isn't that consistent over time - unlike the Bravias which run Android.
So I'll be waiting to see what else Sony come up with.
I might upgrade have to see what TCL puts on sale on black Friday. I paid $259 for my series 4 TCL 43inch TV and love it. At that price the 4 year extended warranty was only about $29 so I got it. It made my PS4 Pro upgrade really shine over my high end 27inch PC monitor.
I should have given you an email from Sony i had ages ago about their new 2020 range of TV that said it was ready for ps5 i researched one of the tellies from curries and they look good but this is old news to me tbh.
I have a hisense 4k tv..40 incher..hdr10 and hdmi 2.1 (3 hdmi but only 1 is hdmi 2.1) and its an awesome looking set..friend of mine has an lg oled does everything under the sun blah,blah,blah and was quite honestly shocked at the picture quality so i am good to go..gotta love black friday sales (how long will we be allowed to still call them that ?)
I thought the X900H or XH90 depending on where in the world u are was the only Sony TV supporting the features. Even at that it's additional features unlocked via a patch. @Northern_monkey Oh that size would fit my desk setup far handier. Could you let me know what the model number for that hisense is?
@Northern_munkey Your mates LG (if it's a recent set that has 2.1) will be better pq than your hisense. They're good for the money but not as good as LG.
Yeah i didnt say it was better...just that my friend was shocked at just how good it is compared to the price difference..and to be honest there isn't that much in it..
I need to buy new tv, because a few lines of pixels in center of screen are dying, BUT while tv is way more expensive than fine used car, it have to work for another few years.
@Nexozi H40M3300..sorry i didnt reply earlier as i didnt read your post..
@nathanSF Not the latest Bravia. X950H doesn't have HDMI 2.1, you have to go back to the X900H for that.
@kemosabii Hi. Thanks for the clarification.
Think I'm going to give it a year. wait for a Sony with HDMI 2.1, VRR
