For avid gamers, a good TV might be the most important part of their gaming set-up. The more suitable a TV is for smooth gameplay, the more you’ll enjoy your favourite titles. But how do you know which TV best matches your gaming needs, and what are the best gaming TVs right now? We’ve listed the 5 best gaming TVs.

What is the best gaming TV?

Choose the best gaming TV by focusing on a few key points. A high refresh rate, expressed in hertz (Hz), is essential for smooth images. Games are often best played on TVs that support at least 120 hertz, as they won’t stutter or judder. Resolution also plays a big role: Full HD is fine for a PS4, but 4K works on all recent consoles. Also pay attention to input lag, also known as game latency. The lower the input lag, the faster your TV responds to your controller. The room you game in also matters, especially for the size of the gaming TV you want to buy. For the best gaming experience, choose a TV size that matches the viewing distance in your bedroom or living room.
