The Q80T is a great gaming TV and that comes from its ability to offer the triumvirate of excellent image quality, Hz capability, and downright, sheer bang for buck value. Throw in dynamic HDR, superb colour fidelity and a full-array backlight upping the ante on both of these , and razor-sharp detail, and this is an exceptional package.
What with Samsung superseding these once-top-of-the-pyramid panels with the newest NeoQLED range, it's really worth looking at the Q80T range and similar models as their prices will become increasingly attractive. The icing on the cake is a two-speed Game Mode. Game Motion Plus keeps some picture processing turned on, for maximum eye candy, while hardcore Game mode just improves input lag, to an astonishing 8. Available in five screen sizes, from small to massive, this new entry-level 4K HDR screen from Hisense is well worth shortlisting for the budget end of the best gaming TV spectrum.
Design is de rigueur, with a slim bezel and spaced-out feet. Hisense claims an input lag of better than 20ms, but we measured Overall picture performance is good, with excellent fine detail and reasonable dynamics. Dolby Vision helps a lot, effortlessly making the set shine with Dolby Vision shows. Read more: Hisense A6G review. And this contender for the best gaming TV is an OLED-powered beaut, offering a near-perfect blend of high design and cutting edge gaming features.
But if you can look past this, then you're in for a treat. Connectivity is impressive too: all four HDMI inputs are v2. Elsewhere, to finish, LG has revamped its menus for and includes a new Game Optimizer interface that allows in-depth tuning, including game genre selection, based on game style. It's hard to argue with the logic behind buying the Samsung TU it's got 4K at 60Hz that reads beautifully for gaming and watching movies, and all the smart apps you need, along with a price tag that's hella wallet-friendly: in terms of sheer value it really is one of the best gaming TVs going.
The Samsung TU has good color quality including really deep blacks thanks to a high contrast ratio decent sound, and a fantastic little feature called automatic console detection - as soon as power on your console, the Samsung will automatically switch to from movie mode to game mode.
It will also automatically turn on your console if you navigate to it in the source menu. It's a nifty little feature and one that ultimately ends up saving you a lot of time navigating with what is quite a clunky remote. The picture quality is solid, with a great contrast ratio and impressive black uniformity. Though you will need to do a bit of adjusting from time to time - our reviewer had to do a bit of adjusting when playing Call of Duty: Warzone because the game was too bright.
The user interface is easy to navigate, even if the remote is clunky, which makes switching between gaming consoles and Samsung TV apps a breeze - although the apps themselves can be a little buggy at times. The one major downside is that the Samsung Series 7 only has two HDMI ports, which means you'll require a splitter if you have more than one gaming console and some type of streaming device like the Amazon Firestick which, you'd think would be rendered useless by the Samsung TV apps, but isn't.
Overall, the Samsung TU is a great television for its price point, and one that's especially tempting for gamers, as the input lag is low, the blacks are deep, and its contrast ratio is fantastic.

Offering the same features as it's pricier Q90 QLED sibling, the Q70T offers the same nearly bezel-less screen with decent HDR, and a nice range of rich colors just in time for watching all the colors pop on your fave Disney Plus shows. Console gamers will appreciate the 14ms input lag on this TV and take full advantage of the HDR glow up. The Q70T also comes loaded with everything to satisfying all your streaming needs.
The Q70T even compiles a special watch list based on your viewing habits across all your apps. 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. If you are a serious gamer and want a TV with the lowest input lag and the most advanced gaming features, these picks are for you. The differences they offer in gaming performance might be small—but in competitive gaming, every little bit counts. Such support includes the following:. During our research and testing of the newest TVs, we found that many models supported some of these features but very few supported all of them—at least for the time being.
Some manufacturers have promised firmware updates to add these features, but in our latest round we considered only those TVs in which the HDMI 2. Of course, we still consider picture quality to be a priority, but in this category we particularly look for a good combination of gaming performance, picture quality, and affordability.
Fortunately, this year we found that several of our top overall performers were also the best TVs for gaming. For video gaming, two criteria are more important than they might be for standard TV or movie viewing: input lag and motion response.
Input lag concerns how long it takes an image from a gaming system to appear on the screen after the TV has finished processing it. Most TVs offer a game mode that lowers input lag at the expense of image quality, but the mode can make a huge difference in how responsive the game feels.
Your button presses are more in sync with the on-screen actions you see, improving your gaming experience and, hopefully, your performance. To measure input lag, we used a Murideo Seven Generator , which can test input lag at a wide range of resolutions and frame rates, including p at Hz. The other main feature of a gaming TV is how fluid and responsive the motion of a game is.
Games run at 30, 60, and now even frames per second, while movies run at only 24 fps. Sports content also runs at 60 fps. Some TVs now support a variable refresh rate, automatically changing their refresh rate to match that of the video game console.
Since many video games run at rates lower than the Hz refresh rate when the action on screen is too intense, a variable refresh rate allows the TV to display motion without repeating frames to create a smoother, judder-free presentation. The CX comes in , , , and inch sizes, so you should be able to find one to fit your room, and though the pricing of OLED TVs is still higher than that of similarly sized LCD TVs, it has fallen considerably over the past few years.
Unlike almost every other HDMI 2. That means you can hook up multiple gaming systems and not have to choose which one gets the better input. It seems that the focus is on higher frame rates in the short term, with higher resolutions potentially coming later. Even then, native 8K gaming seems unlikely.
It's broadly agreed that neither console has the processing power to run blockbuster games at that resolution. We might, though, see games appear that dynamically scale at resolutions above 4K before being output as an 8K signal, much as the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X invariably handled 4K on games truly native 4K games were very rare until this new console generation. In other words, while 8K should perhaps be at the back of your mind, we don't think it's essential that you buy an 8K TV right now.
Such sets will likely be much, much more affordable by the time 8K gaming becomes a serious concern — assuming it ever does. That said, there is an excellent 8K TV on this list for those who have very deep pockets. Right, that's the broad strokes. Now it's time for our list of the very best TVs for gaming. You'll notice that most models here are from LG and Samsung, and there's a simple reason for that — they currently offer the most complete gaming feature sets and the best gaming performance, though other brands are finally starting to catch up.
LG's new C1 isn't a huge improvement on the CX it replaces, but it didn't really need to be. The picture performance and feature set were already exemplary, and LG has slightly improved the former with its new Cinematic Movement motion processing and enhanced de-contouring feature which reduces banding , and slightly improved the latter with a better menu system and a more complete app selection all UK catch-up apps are present.
In short, there's no better-specified gaming TV out there, and it's great with movies and TV, too. Do also check out the G1 below, though, as it offers all of the same features and also boasts a new, brighter OLED panel. We've tested the C1 in its inch and inch sizes. It's also available as a inch, inch and inch model. We've not yet reviewed these versions but you'll see the latest, lowest prices for all of them below.
You can call up a handy Game Bar display that shows you at a glance what graphics features a game is using. Its brightness and rich but controlled colours play beautifully with the spectacular 4K HDR graphics capabilities of the latest gaming machines, while the support for higher and variable refresh rates joins forces with the exceptionally low input lag to contribute to a fantastically immediate and immersive experience.
Deeper blacks would be nice, though. We've tested the AU in its inch size. It's also available as a inch, inch, inch and inch model. We've not yet reviewed these versions so can't vouch for their quality, but you'll still see the latest, lowest prices for all of them below.
That makes it a seriously stunning picture performer. Sound is less strong, but if you were always planning to combine your new TV with a separate sound system and the design works for you and you've got deep pockets , the G1 should be seriously considered. We tested the G1 in its inch size. It's also available as a inch and inch model. We've not yet reviewed these versions but you'll see the latest, lowest prices below.
This year looks very much like the year of Mini LED , and Samsung is going bigger on this new backlighting technology than anyone else. In real-world performance terms, Mini LED might not quite be the revolution that Samsung is pitching it as, but it is still a substantial upgrade to an already excellent range of TVs. This means that you're limited to 4k gaming at 60 fps instead of fps.
It's not the best choice for gaming in well-lit environments either because its peak brightness and reflection handling are both just decent. If this doesn't bother you and you're on a budget, it's one of the best gaming TVs that we've tested. If you want something brighter, then check out the Hisense U6G. It's a great budget TV that delivers great picture quality, in line with more expensive options.
Although it doesn't have VRR support like the Vizio M7 Series Quantum , it's still impressive for gaming because of its low input lag, quick response time, and backlight strobing feature. The local dimming feature also improves the already-excellent contrast for deep blacks.
Sadly, it has narrow viewing angles, so it's not the best choice for co-op gaming. If you don't want to spend too much and want the best TV for gaming with VRR support, you should be happy with the Vizio.
However, if you tend to game in a well-lit room and prefer something with higher peak brightness and excellent reflection handling, then check out the Hisense.
