And any TV that's good for gamers will usually do pretty well at everything else. It impressed us in our testing, and it's more affordable than you'd expect given the feature set.
The CX's slim OLED display is gorgeous, and it boasts some of the fastest response times we've seen, with a tested lag time of It also packs other gamer-friendly features, like a full set of HDMI 2. On top of that, it's an incredible TV, with tons of smart features, like built-in Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa support, integrated smart home controls and an intuitive motion-control remote, and even AI-powered features for better video and audio quality and smarter content recommendations.
Selling for hundreds of dollars less than the competition, the Vizio OLED packs plenty of smart features alongside the 4K OLED display, and delivers the sort of premium picture quality that normally costs much more. Most notable is a slew of HDMI 2. Combine all of this with an improved remote control design and great sound with better-than-average bass, and you've got one of the best TV values of the year, and the easy pick for affordable OLED TVs. With a low lag time of 14 milliseconds, this set also will handle fast-paced gaming well.
It also has weak speakers, with little bass and limited power. If this is going to be your main TV, consider adding a soundbar to overcome the sound issues. The Toshiba C Fire TV is the addition to the small family of Amazon-powered smart TVs, offering good features and decent performance for its extremely affordable price. It's also a killer 4K gaming TV, with a It lacks HDMI 2.
It's a decent example of the Fire TV template, combining good-enough 4K picture quality, impressively short lag times, and Amazon's great Fire TV smart features, like built-in Alexa voice control, a pretty big app store and of course an interface that puts Amazon's Prime Video service front and center. If low prices are what you're after, then the Vizio V-Series model might be just the budget-friendly 4K smart TV you're after. With exceptional affordability, decent smarts from Vizio's SmartCast software and great gaming capabilities, it's a fantastic bargain, even when it's not on sale — and it frequently is, with steep discounts occurring throughout the year.
A trio of HDMI 2. If you want great gaming performance for less, this is definitely the budget gaming TV to get. But keep in mind that this is a 60Hz display, so variable refresh rates and high refresh rates are off the table.
And general performance is decent enough, but the brightness isn't great and the audio would benefit from adding a soundbar. Read our full Vizio V-Series model review. It also offers both full Roku access and a smart home device that cooperates with your Alexa or Google Assistant ecosystems. Though the 's performance is far from premium, the x p resolution satisfies for the screen's size.
And it's excellent for gaming, with a lag time of It may not offer 4K resolution, but the full HD display makes it perfect for the Nintendo Switch and any older consoles you might own. When it comes to picking the best 4K gaming TV, there are several factors to consider. While the advice in articles like Everything you need to know about buying a TV offer a one-size fits all approach for most TV shoppers, there are some factors that gamers need to consider differently.
Refresh rate: You'll want to check the TV's frame rate, often listed as the refresh rate. Most current TVs will offer a 60Hz refresh rate, which means that the TV refreshes the picture 60 times per second. Given that most current consoles and games top out at 60 frames per second, this is an ideal match.
However, the latest systems demand better, with the new PS5 and Xbox Series X consoles offering frame rates up to Hz. If you want a TV that will handle next gen gaming, you'll need something that supports Hz, as well.
However, do bear in mind that not everything you read about refresh rates is true — so check out our TV refresh rates: How to see through the TV industry's biggest lie article for more info. Lag time: The other major aspect of a good gaming TV is lag time, which encompasses the interval between an image or button press registering on the console and the resulting change displaying on screen. Measured in milliseconds, we recommend sticking to less than 30 millisecond lag times for any gaming, but more competitive gamers will want to find sets with lag times shorter than 20 milliseconds for the best performance.
Screen size: Size is another element to consider. It also works with all your smart-home assistants like Alexa, Siri, and Google Assistant.
It's definitely one of the smarter TVs on the market right now. Most importantly Samsung ditch the dreaded One Connect box that they use on the Q90, so all your connections hook up directly to the television's rear panel. I always appreciated what Samsung was trying to do but One Connect by plugging everything into a convenient cable hub. The only problem is that when it broke it essentially made your TV useless.
The Q70T is a premium TV that won't totally bankrupt you. If budget is an issue, Samsung does a 43" version of this TV, but we'd recommend 55" or above. And we also like the Q60 model from Samsung which is a fine, ever-so-slightly older member of the QLED family to check out. Samsung's panels are very good across their whole range, and these models have made big strides around viewing angles and the quality of upscaling non-4K pictures.
What we like about the TU series models is the Real Game Enhancer feature, which drops the response time of the panel to a super-low 6. Combined with Freesync, this makes the panel superb for faster-paced shooters and games that require reflexes as well as a handsome display. Just be aware that the 49" version doesn't have a number of these features, including Real Game Enhancer, so make sure you stick to 55" or above for this set.
This is a recent model too, so you get a bunch of Samsung's 'nice to have' features, like a universal remote with built-in voice control - although this is very, very inconsistent , cable management around the back of the TV, and the Universal Guide with a whole bunch of streaming services already built in.
It's a nice all-rounder. While the rest of Samsung's standard 4K TV range is cheaper, the TU series is best for gaming, so it's worth spending a little extra on. This is the resolution of the image that can be displayed by your TV. Almost all modern gaming TVs are 4K. HDR isn't strictly about contrast - it's a way of making the difference more noticeable between colors and blacks , and HDR can actually be used by game makers and developers to pick out more details in their creations.
Primarily, HDR is used to boost the color of a picture by making colors more vivid, thereby contrasting them further. If you can separate very similar shades of color, then you can create clearer images.
The minimum standard for HDR is a brightness of nits the measure of brightness on a TV , although some TVs manage nits in Basically, while LCD and plasma panels require something called back-lighting or edge-lighting to create pictures on screen, OLED panels don't need it.
With back-lit or edge-lit TVs, the LEDs in the panel are illuminated in groups or lines to create a picture. This is what allows for truer blacks in OLED sets. With the ability to completely switch off each individual LED, you get sharp edges on images and deep blacks because there is no backlight showing through at all. This means QLED sets offer brighter colors and better contrasts than any other panel type.
The panel is still either back-lit or edge-lit like traditional 4K TVs, and this can make a huge difference when it comes to black levels. This makes them perfect for gaming. You'll hear a lot about the response time of a panel, especially when discussing gaming TVs. This is basically the speed at which a color can change on your TV eg. Most 4K TVs have response times quicker than we can perceive them, so it makes no real difference to gameplay outside the twitchiest of shooters.
However, purists will want a TV with the quickest response time possible. This is the speed at which an image can be refreshed on your TV and shouldn't be confused with response time. A 60Hz 4K TV, for example, refreshes the image on screen 60 times per second, which allows a certain level of smoothness to the image. If the TV refreshes at Hz, the image is twice as smooth, and you notice that in how slick the motion appears on screen. Many TVs 'game modes' will boost refresh rate artificially, usually by downgrading other display features eg.
You need at least an HDMI 1. The majority of modern console games can't display at 4K 60fps, so as long as you have a 2. And no, you don't need to buy expensive gold-plated HDMI cables to get a better picture - just the Amazon Basics will do just fine.
This is always a good question, but never one with a straightforward answer unfortunately. But, we'll try: as objectively as we can be, we don't think many people would disagree that if the absolute best screen type for presenting games to our eyes is probably a QLED screen or an OLED screen. However, given all the information on this webpage, we can see that it's a bit more tricky than just trying to select an objective winner - and technical stuff aside, you always have to consider price, and what's best for you.

Not only are they larger than most PC monitors, but these days the best 4K TVs can even rival the best gaming monitors in terms of fidelity. Sluggish response times for TVs are a thing of the past, particularly for the top panels. There's even the added benefit of fancier technologies, such as OLEDs, that have not yet graced our desktops in any meaningful way. At the moment your choices for the glorious OLED panel technology, in PC terms, are limited to high-end gaming laptops or the best TVs that are built with gaming in mind.
These new GPUs can nail fps at 4K in all but the most challenging games. Though, while 8k sounds like immense fun, most of the gaming TVs we've tested here are 4K; it's more attainable than 8K.
There are some 8K TVs out there, but right now you're going to pay handsomely for the privilege. Sure, strapping a inch monster to the wall so you can game on your couch is appealing, but this is the first OLED TV to actually retail in a inch form factor you could realistically use on your desk.
It's going to have to be a pretty big desk, and sturdy too, but you'd be surprised just how rapidly you will adjust to having such screen real estate in front of you. And though it is a TV, it's certainly not devoid of PC sensibilities. In terms of picture quality, no other technology can match the contrast and black levels of the self-emissive pixels in an OLED screen. The even better news is that G-sync is enabled on all E9-series TVs when you have Game Mode active, so you no longer have to suffer through skipped frames and torn pictures when playing at higher frame rates.
Unless you're gaming on an AMD card Unfortunately, you can still only play 4K at 60Hz on the E9-series as it was with the E8 , but the response rate has been boosted over the previous year, and now sits at a handsome 6ms for p and 13ms for 4K.
As with most OLED panels, the thinness of the screen means the sound output itself is never going to be as rich as a separate speaker system speaker size is sacrificed for aesthetics , but the E9 still manages surprisingly good audio that surpasses the E8. While it has now been replaced as the flagship model by the Q90R, it remains a showstopping panel. What's more, you can now pick it up for half the price, making this elite TV actually affordable, and it has almost all the features present in the newer vastly more expensive Q90R.
It's all very well boasting about it, but you can actually see a significant boost in vibrancy over every other TV set, with a noticeably broader range of colors. It's a fantastic all-rounder, thanks to a direct full-array LED picture display, and the anti-reflection screen is the icing on the cake.
