How do I choose a gaming television?

A good gaming TV will let you experience your games best without trading off any game fun. This means that the graphics look great, while the input lag is low. Want to enjoy the new standard that are being set by the Xbox Series X and the PlayStation 5? You'll need a 4K TV that supports HDR.

Low input lag - how?

Input lag

The last thing you want while gaming is a lagging TV. The input lag should be as low as possible. For gamers, we recommend an input lag of 20ms or lower. With this, the delay between the moment you press a button and the action displayed on the screen is barely visible to the naked eye.

Color gamut and contrast

Image quality gaming TV

A large part of video game enjoyment comes from the slick graphics. Consoles keeping getting more powerful, allowing games to increasingly come close to reality. Or to becoming a visual spectacle, like the world of Horizon Zero Dawn. The best gaming television helps make these graphics come alive. With help of 10 bit television that's able to show over a billion different color shades, for example. Or with help of an OLED tv and its infinite contrast and perfect black levels.

Resolution and HDR

Resolution HDR gaming TV

With the launch of the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5, you mainly play games in 4K resolution. Plus, these consoles are also bringing HDR to your living room, which is a nice addition. You'll see more colors, shadows are much more detailed, and bright images are extra clear. Night scenes that used to be difficult to navigate because you couldn't see thing are now a cakewalk. In order to benefit from this technique, you need a 4K television that supports HDR.

Optimal gaming

Best television for gaming

Which television should you choose? The answer depends on the console you're using. If you own an older console, a TV with a maximum input lag of 50ms is sufficient. For an Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5, you need to ask more of your television. These consoles support 4K and HDR images, which means that it's important that your TV does too. Naturally, a low input lag is still a requirement for these televisions.
