The best gaming TVs at MediaMarkt

Friends sit together in a brick-walled living room, watching a television with colourful visuals.

You choose the best gaming TV by paying attention to a few key points. A high refresh rate, measured in hertz (Hz), is very important for smooth visuals. Games are often best played on TVs that support at least 120 hertz, as they deliver motion without judder or stutter. Resolution also plays a major role. The current standard for today's generation of consoles is 4K. It's also worth looking at input lag, also known as gaming latency. The lower the input lag, the faster your TV responds to your controller. The room where you game matters too, especially when it comes to the size of the gaming TV you'd like to buy. For the best gaming experience, choose a TV size that fits well with the viewing distance in your bedroom or living room.
