One of these days, we’ll have pricing and preorder details for PS5 and Xbox Series X. But for now, we just have lots of promises of our next-gen futures. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t prepare yourself now to be fully immersed in the next-gen consoles’ capabilities, however. One of the best TVs around is marked down $350 at Newegg right now, meaning you can tweak and calibrate your screen well ahead of the “holiday release” for both new consoles.

The LG CX series TVs feature 4 HDMI inputs, all of which support 4K signals at 120Hz. That means no matter what input you use, you’ll be able to enjoy PS5 and Xbox Series X games at 120fps (if the games support that framerate).
One thing I need to point out: in order to actually take advantage of a 4K/120Hz signal from your next gen console, you’re going to need an HDMI cable supporting the HDMI 2.1 standard. A 4K signal at that refresh rate requires a massive amount of data, something the HDMI cables you currently use almost certainly don’t support. We don’t know if the Xbox Series X or PS5 will include HDMI 2.1 cables, but to be fair, we also don’t know lots of crucial details about these two systems. I’d be surprised to find they don’t have the cables in the box, but they’re a bit more costly than your standard HDMI cable, so who knows?
Another cool thing about the CX series is it supports composite hook-ups, although you’ll need an adapter. That’s good news if you want to hook up your N64 or something, although personally I don’t recommend using modern TVs to play classic games. But I’m a huge dweeb, so who am I to dissuade you from having fun? Go wild.
Save some money now, and fully prepare yourself for when PS5 preorders and Xbox Series X preorders go live.
