If you’re after a quick and well-featured gaming performance, whether you play on an Xbox, PC or PS5, we’ve reviewed the best gaming TVs to make that decision easier.
Gamers are well-catered for in the TV world, with many brands offering a wide array of features whether you’re a casual, well-honed or e-sport player. TV gaming performance has never been as good as it is now.
Things to look out for are low levels of input lag. Most TVs can hit under 15ms, and for the best performance, that’s where we’d start looking for a gaming TV. Features is another area to cover. Some TVs are designed to work best with a PS5, others work well across any console, while others have placed an emphasis on doubling up as a PC monitor. We’ve looked to cover all (your) bases with our picks.
Below is our list of the best gaming TVs. For a more broad list that aren’t specifically for gaming, but are better all-rounders, visit our best TVs and best cheap TVs guides instead.
We’ve added the Samsung S90H as our pick for best 48-inch TV, and another Samsung TV in the M80H as our best value gaming TV. The LG C6 has been added to the list as the tellie we’d recommend for Xbox gamers.

Learn more about how we test televisions
Every TV we review is put through the same set of tests to gauge its picture performance, usability, and smart features.
Tests are carried out over several days and are done by eye but supported with technical measurements. Testing by eye involves an expert watching a wide range of material to understand and determine a TV’s performance in fields such as brightness, contrast, motion processing, colour handling and screen uniformity.
We’ll consider the design of the TV in terms of build quality, study the spec sheets and see if the TV’s connections are up to spec, as well as playing video and audio content to ensure that the set handles playback as it claims. We also take note whether a product’s compatible formats and features are in line with industry trends or not to gauge whether it’s relevant for you.
Comparison to other related and similarly priced products is also important, to see if it’s missing any vital features and whether it impresses as a whole. After all this, we’ll come to a judgement on how the TV performs as a whole.

What is the best gaming TV for Xbox Series X
LG’s OLEDs are the official choice for Xbox consoles. LG’s OLEDs also support Dolby Vision, but we’re still waiting to hear whether the TVs will be able to support Dolby Vision for gaming at 4K/120. If so, then they’d be an even greater partner for the Series X.
