3 Best Gaming TV for PS5 & Xbox Series X
The Sony PlayStation 5 and Microsoft Xbox Series X gaming consoles have advanced features that, in conjunction with the right TV, can offer the best gaming experience possible. After putting new TVs through our regular battery of tests and then adding an Xbox Series X to the mix, we’ve found that the LG C1 OLED TV is your best choice for high-performance gaming and has every feature that gamers will need for the foreseeable future.
1. LG C1 - The best TV for video games
The LG C1 provides low input lag and the most comprehensive set of gaming features, as well as the best overall picture quality.
The LG C1 is the best gaming TV to pair with the PS5 and Xbox Series X consoles. Its input lag is supremely low, which means less time between when something happens in a game and when you see it on your screen. And unlike many other TVs, the C1 doesn’t sacrifice image quality in its game mode. All four HDMI inputs support the full HDMI 2.1 feature set, including automatic low-latency mode, variable refresh rate, and the bandwidth to accept a 4K signal at 120 frames per second (see How we picked for an explanation of these features). The C1 is one of the few TVs that support the new HGiG high dynamic range guidelines for gaming, as well as 4K 120 Hz Dolby Vision gaming. PC gamers can also use it as a monitor thanks to its support for the AMD FreeSync and Nvidia G-Sync variable refresh rate modes on certain GPUs and graphics cards. In addition, this TV provides an on-screen gaming dashboard that lets you easily check and adjust its gaming-specific settings to ensure that it’s giving you the best performance, and it’s available in screen sizes from 48 to 83 inches. As an OLED TV, the C1 offers better viewing angles than an LCD TV and faster pixel-response times for less image blurring. But this premium performer also carries a premium price tag.
In 2022, LG introduced the newer C2 Series OLED, which is also a great gaming TV and comes in a smaller 42-inch screen size that’s good for desktop gaming. However, the C2 costs more than the C1 without offering significant improvements in gaming. In fact, its input lag was a little higher. So for now, we’re keeping the C1 as our top pick and have added the C2 to Other good gaming TVs.
The Samsung QN90A offers low input lag and full HDMI 2.1 support, and its high light output is good for a bright room.
Some people worry about burn-in, or uneven wear on the screen, when using OLED TVs for gaming. We don’t think that’s an issue with the LG C1, but if you prefer to use an LCD TV instead, the Samsung QN90A is a great choice. Like the C1, it has low input lag, supports the major HDMI 2.1 gaming features, and offers a gaming dashboard that makes it easy for you to see if all those features are set up correctly. But this TV has only a single 4K 120 Hz HDMI input, whereas the LG C1 has four. The QN90A can get brighter than an OLED TV and has a good anti-reflective screen filter, so it’s a great choice for rooms with lots of windows or skylights. It’s available in screen sizes from 43 to 98 inches, and it’s also our upgrade pick for the best LCD/LED TV, so you can rest assured that its image quality on movies and TV is top-notch.
The U7G is a good all-around performer and has the most important gaming features, but it lacks some advanced gaming functions and comes in fewer screen sizes.
If you want great gaming performance for a more affordable price, the Hisense U7G has low input lag and supports all the important HDMI 2.1 gaming features, including the ability to receive 4K 120 Hz signals on two of its four HDMI inputs. This TV is the top pick in our guide to the best LCD/LED TV, and it provides excellent image quality, though its brightness and contrast aren’t as high as what you can get with the more expensive LG and Samsung picks. It doesn’t have the gaming dashboard or the gaming-specific HGiG HDR support of our other picks, and it’s available in only three screen sizes (55, 65, and 75 inches). The lack of a screen size under 50 inches means it may not be ideal for a desktop gaming setup.
