Tv for gaming ps4: The best gaming TVs for 2022

Best TVs For Gaming On PS4 And XBOX One [2022 Guide]

Are you looking for a gaming TV for your PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Xbox One S, Nintendo Switch, Wii, or Wii U?

We’ve compiled a list of only the best TVs for gaming, which will ensure low input lag and quick response time for a smooth gaming experience no matter whether you just need a cheap 720p TV or a more expensive 4K HDR model.

Although these consoles don’t support 4K UHD resolution natively, they (or the TV) can upscale the image to 4K, thus providing you with crisp and vibrant image quality for gaming as well as other multimedia use.

Since the prices of 4K TVs have dropped drastically in recent years, we highly recommend future-proofing your setup with a 4K TV – unless you’re on a really limited budget or just want a secondary TV.

As you can see, TCL dominates the budget range of LED TVs for gaming. In most budget price ranges, they simply deliver the best bang for the buck.

There are many things to consider when buying a TV besides its screen size and resolution. The most essential TV specs for gaming are response time and input lag.

Given that the manufacturer doesn’t reveal these specs, we’ve tested and researched the performance of each TV in this list, so you can rely on our information to pick the best TV for gaming on PS4 and Xbox One.

Note that this list consists of entry-level and mid-range TVs costing up to $500.

For the best high-end 4K HDR TVs, visit our best TVs for gaming on PS5 and Xbox Series X buyer’s guide.

For the most responsive console gaming experience, many gamers opt for monitors instead of TVs. However, monitors are usually more expensive and don’t offer as an immersive viewing experience as equally priced TVs.

Check out the best PS4/Xbox One monitors and the best PS4 Pro/Xbox One X monitors.

About The TV

Want the best cheap gaming TV? The TC S325 series offers the most affordable TVs that have proven fantastic performance for their price in both gaming and other multimedia activities.

We don’t recommend getting a cheaper TV than the TCL 32S325; many more expensive TVs aren’t nearly as good when it comes to gaming performance, which is why the S325 series is the best choice for around $200 (32″ – 43″ models, we don’t recommend the 49″ model since it’s notably more expensive, at that price point you can buy a better 4K TV).

Image Quality

The TCL S325 is based on a VA (Vertical Alignment) panel with a static contrast ratio of 3,500:1, which ensures deep black colors. However, it has a somewhat limited peak brightness of ~200-nits.

This means that the picture will be optimal in darker rooms rather than in bright rooms. There aren’t any advanced color adjustments available in the OSD (On-Screen Display), but the colors are accurate and vibrant straight out of the box.

The 32-inch model is available with either 1366×768 or 1920×1080 resolution. Note that the 32″ 1080p TCL TV has a slightly different series name – S327.

For its size, the 1366×768 resolution provides a solid picture quality with crisp details – given that you’re looking at the screen from a reasonable viewing distance.

The screen has a pixel density of roughly 50 PPI (pixels per inch), meaning that your eyes won’t be able to distinguish individual pixels on the screen as long as you’re sitting at least 5.5 ft away from the screen.

If you plan on sitting a bit closer to the screen, get the 1080p model since it’s only ~$10 more expensive.

Gaming Performance

When it comes to performance, the TCL S325 input lag amounts to only ~15ms (Game Mode needs to be enabled), which makes for imperceptible delay between your actions and the result on the screen.

Many much more expensive TVs don’t have as low input lag as the S325. In fact, there are even some older PC monitors models that have higher input lag!

The pixel response time speed also amounts to ~15ms, which is not bad either. However, in fast-paced games, there will be some motion blur and noticeable trailing behind fast-moving objects, particularly when dark pixels are predominant in the picture.

Overall, the amount of trailing is tolerable and won’t bother most gamers, especially after considering the price of the TV.

Features

When you set the TV at 31/100 brightness, it starts using PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) to regulate luminance.

This introduces screen flickering (180Hz), which is invisible to the human eye but may cause headaches to those sensitive to it after prolonged use.

The flickering also helps clear up the motion blur. So, if you’re a fan of fast-paced FPS games, reducing the screen’s brightness to 31 or less will provide you with clearer motion.

Moving on, the TCL S325 supports 24p format for judder-free playback, but only of native 24p content from DVDs and Blu-rays.

It features Roku TV OS, which offers easy-to-use and smooth navigation through the smart features. You’ll effortlessly find all the popular streaming apps, including Netflix, YouTube, Amazon Video, Hulu, etc.

The remote is easy to use, but the provided Roku application for smartphones and tablets is a lot better.

Just like all TVs included in this guide, the S325 supports 4:4:4 chroma, so you won’t get text fringing when you connect the TV to a PC.

Note that the older S305/S405 series doesn’t support 4:4:4.

Design & Connectivity

The TCL S325 TVs have a simplistic design with reasonably thick bezels and decent build quality. They can also be mounted on a wall or a third-party stand.

Connectivity includes three HDMI ports (one with ARC, all three with HDCP 2.2), a USB port, optical audio-out and analog audio-out ports, composite-in, a tuner, and two 4W integrated Dolby D+ speakers with a decent, but not great audio quality.

Note that the TV has no Ethernet port, so you will have to use WiFi for the Internet.

Summary

Keep in mind that the TCL’s 3 series 2020, the S335, is not as good for gaming as S325 due to the higher input lag. So, get the older S325 series from 2019 if you can. Hopefully, the 2021 series will be better.

The Pros:

• Good value for the price
• Low input lag
• High contrast ratio

The Cons:

• Low peak brightness level
• Minor ghosting in fast-paced games
• No 4:4:4 chroma support

About The TV

If you’re looking for the cheapest 4K TV for gaming that’s actually good and well worth the money, the best-selling Toshiba Fire 2020 is definitely for you.

Image Quality

The Toshiba Fire TVs (the Toshiba 43LF621U21, 50LF621U21 and 55LF621U21) are based on VA panel technology with a high static contrast ratio of 4,000:1 for deep blacks.

Moreover, they support 10-bit color via dithering (8-bit + FRC) as well as entry-level HDR (High Dynamic Range).

Its peak brightness is not really high enough for the true HDR viewing experience, as expected at this price range, but it’s decent at ~350-nits for HDR content and ~250-nits for SDR.

With such peak brightness and no local dimming, the HDR content won’t look nearly as good as it does on mid-range or high-end HDR TVs, but for its price, it is a nice addition as some HDR games will look a bit better.

Gaming Performance

The Toshiba Fire 2020 TV input lag is impressive. In Game Mode, it amounts to only ~11ms which is on par with some monitors and fit for competitive gameplay.

When using HDR, input lag is increased significantly, but since HDR is mostly meaningless on this TV, we recommend disabling it for games.

Additionally, the response time speed is a bit faster than that of the S325 series with a 12ms pixel transition speed. So, there will be less motion blur in fast-paced games.

For 4K Ultra HD resolution, remember to enable the HDMI 2.0 option in the TV’s settings by selecting ‘Mode 2’ under HDMI Input Mode.

Sadly, the full 4:4:4 RGB signal is not supported, so this is not a good TV to be used as a PC monitor.

Features

The TV is based on Fire TV OS, which is fairly smooth and easy to use.

Unlike the S325 series, 24Hz judder cannot be removed from any source.

Lowering the TV’s brightness introduces PWM flicker at 220Hz, but this shouldn’t bother most users.

The colors are accurate out of the box but can be further enhanced by calibrating the screen using the TV’s settings.

Design & Connectivity

Unlike the S325 series, the Toshiba Fire TVs have an Ethernet port – plus WiFi, three HDMI ports (one with eARC, all three with HDCP 2.2), a USB port, analog 3.5mm audio-out, digital audio-out, composite-in and a tuner.

Supported eARC/ARC audio formats include Dolby Atmos/Digital and DTS/DTS: X. There are two 10W integrated speakers, while the TV design is fairly slim.

Summary

Another good option is the TCL S425 series from 2019 if you can find it. They support 4:4:4 chroma and have a bit higher 6,000:1 contrast ratio, but peak brightness is a bit lower.

The TCL S435 2020 series is not nearly as good for gaming due to high input lag at 1080p and a bit slower response time speed.

Further, we also recommend avoiding the Toshiba C350 Fire 2021 series due to the slower response time speed.

The Pros:

• Excellent value for the price
• Low input lag
• Wide color gamut
• Good contrast ratio and peak brightness
• AMD FreeSync
• Dolby Vision & HDR10+ supported

The Cons:

• Moderate ghosting in fast-paced games

About The TV

If you can afford something a bit pricier than the Toshiba Fire 2020 series, we highly recommend getting the Vizio M7 Series Quantum 2021. For its price, it offers quite a lot!

Image Quality

While it has peak brightness of 500-nits, which is almost double that of the previously mentioned displays, you’re still not getting the true HDR viewing experience which requires at least 1000-nits.

Regardless, the picture is considerably brighter in comparison to the TVs mentioned above; you get more vivid details in highlights of the picture and you can watch the TV in reasonably bright rooms without worrying about glare and reflections.

The TV has a decent contrast ratio of ~6,500:1, and it supports local dimming, but as there are only 30 zones, the HDR viewing experience is, again, not on par with the more expensive TVs – as expected.

In other words, you’re not getting the ‘true’ HDR viewing experience, but rather a glimpse of it, which is understandable at this price range.

Surprisingly, the Vizio MQ7 supports all major HDR formats, including HDR10, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and HLG.

Another exceptional thing about this TV is that it has an excellent DCI-P3 gamut coverage of ~96%, so colors will be vibrant and rich. In comparison, the previously mentioned TVs have ~80% DCI-P3 gamut.

Next, it has a decent pixel response time speed of ~13ms, so some ghosting will be noticeable in fast-paced games, but to a tolerable degree. Input lag is only ~11ms meaning that you won’t be able to feel any delays.

Note that the TV uses PWM dimming below the maximum brightness, but due to its high 480Hz frequency, it shouldn’t bother most users sensitive to flickering.

Features

The Vizio MQ7 TV supports AMD FreeSync, which provides a variable refresh rate for the Xbox consoles with a 40-60Hz range.

So, if you have 45FPS (Frames Per Second) in a game, the TV will dynamically change its refresh rate to 45Hz, thus completely eliminating screen tearing and stuttering without adding input lag! Sadly, it doesn’t work below 40FPS.

There’s also a BFI (Black Frame Insertion) feature called ‘Clear Action.’

This technology ‘inserts’ black frames between the regular frames and by doing so reduces perceived motion blur, but sacrifices some brightness in the process. It’s particularly useful if you’re playing fast-paced games in a dark room where the lower brightness won’t bother you.

In the Film Mode, you can prevent judder from 24p DVDs, Blu-rays, and streaming apps, but not from a 60Hz PC signal – however, 4:4:4 chroma is supported.

The TV is based on SmartCast OS, which is fairly responsive and easy to use.

Design & Connectivity

The Vizio MQ7 has a nice design with thin bezels and VESA mount compatibility.

Connectivity options include a USB 2.0 port, both digital and analog audio ports, dual 10W speakers, composite-in, tuner, Ethernet, WiFi (2.4 GHz and 5GHz), and four HDMI 2.0 ports (although advertised as HDMI 2.1), one of which supports eARC; supported audio formats include DTS, DTS:X, Dolby Digital, and Dolby Atmos.

Summary

All in all, the Vizio MQ7 is the best TV you can get for gaming under $500. The Vizio MQ7 2020 series is also worth considering; it has a bit lower 5,000:1 contrast ratio, but an even wider 99% DCI-P3 color gamut.

Alternatively, you might be interested in the following models at this price range:

• TCL S535 – Has a bit higher contrast ratio and better local dimming (7000:1), but a lower peak brightness (up to ~400-nits) and no FreeSync or HDR10+ support.
• Hisense H8G – Offers the same contrast ratio as the MQ7, but has a bit higher peak brightness (up to 750-nits). However, it doesn’t have as wide color gamut (~90% DCI-P3) or FreeSync support.

In terms of input lag and pixel responsiveness, all three TVs are similar.

Conclusion

Did you find the best TV for your PS4 or Xbox One console? Let us know in the comments if you need any help!

Overall, the TCL S325 and the Toshiba Fire TV 2020 TVs are great for gamers on a budget, whereas the Vizio MQ7, or one of its alternatives, is perfect for those who want a bit better image quality, smoother performance, and additional features – but don’t want to overpay for features their console won’t be able to utilize.

10 Best Gaming TVs For PS4, Xbox Or PC

When looking for a great gaming experience for your PS4, Xbox, PlayStation or PC, the right gaming TV plays a vital role.

However, its painful to research for the best TV to match your needs, with the given number of choices, technology and prices.

So, we decided to do some research for you and came up with the list below.

First, let’s target at breaking down our requirements and narrowing down the search with these filters –

Screen size – Bigger screen size means more detail and a better sense of immersion. However, if you are going to sit close to the screen you might miss out on the edges, if your screen size is too big.

Input lag time – One of the most important requirement, input lag time is the delay in millisecond, between receiving a signal (like pressing a button on game controller) and displaying on the screen.

Low input lag prevents delays in response which is really important if you are playing a fast paced game. Look for a TV with 40 ms or lower input lag for high-end multi-player gaming and 55 ms or lower for single-player games.

Display technology – OLED and LED LCD are two most popular gaming display technologies. Except LG TVs, nearly all other TVs used LED display which are more affordable but do not provide the best picture quality as OLED.

Refresh Rate – Measured in Hz, refresh rate depicts how often the image on the screen changes on TV. Though refresh rate has an impact on the input lag, one should not overspend on this feature as most TVs offer the maximum refresh rate of 60Hz or 120 Hz.

Other essential features include resolution, number of connectivity ports, smart TV and screen shape.

10 Best Gaming TVs for PS4, Xbox or PC

Let’s take a quick look at the best gaming TVs based on their specifications and reviews on Amazon.

1. TCL 55R617 4K TV

Check Price On Amazon

This TCL gaming TV has a quality 4K HDR panel that’s great if you’re looking to upgrade your smart home living room experience without breaking the bank.

It offers HDR via Dolby Vision format, which competes with HDR10, and delivers deeper blacks and more vivid highlights with a rich and broad color spectrum that makes images pop. It also has contrast control zones for better differentiation between bright and dark portions of the screen and smoother contrast gradient.

Overall, the TV gives a greater sense of depth, especially in games with busy scenes where there are complicated lighting sources, such as Assassin’s Creed Origins.

TCL has included its impressive iPQ engine technology that ensures the panel displays clearer and more vivid images even in full sunlight or dark environments. Also included is a built-in Roku OS for easy access to major media streaming services without extra hardware, and voice controlled remote.

However, the refresh rate is not as great but it isn’t a deal breaker for its price range, but generally, you’re getting a well-rounded, high-performance panel, which can hardly be found anywhere.

8. Samsung QN55Q6FN QLED 4K TV

Samsung is one of the leading names when it comes to 4K TVs, but the best gaming TVs in the brand’s range are the QLEDs from the mighty Q90R to the plucky NU6900.

Most of these TVs have panels tuned specifically to enhance 4K play, as well as movies and other shows you watch on your home TV.

However, they’re a close match to the LG OLEDs with mid-range LED sets packed with gaming enhancements and features that are great with Xbox One, PS4, and PC.

The QLED panel makes colors brighter than any other panel type and this Q6 TV is among one of the best gaming TVs on the market today, with prices dropping by the day.

Its blacks may not match that of the LG OLED TV, but it’s panel exhibits colors that are way brighter than the standard LED set, managing about 1500 nits. Although it has since been replaced by its successor, the Q60, the Q9 or Q90R are more advanced, though pricier. This TV still offers some of the best gaming performance you’ll find.

The Q6 offers a 21ms response rate, with sharp images and excellent picture tweaking features that you can access from its fast UI. However, the sound isn’t as great but this doesn’t mean it delivers poor sound.

This OLED gaming TV delivers a highly intense gaming experience in every scenario with great viewing angles so you can sit anywhere without suffering color drops at any angle.

It has a ‘traditional’ look with a clear, ultra-skinny stand designed to make the picture seem as if its floating mid-air for a truly immersive gaming experience.

Additionally, the 8 series sports an impressive new alpha 9 processor that enhances HDR pictures, making them brighter than previous LG OLED TVs.

• Bright image and handles reflection well

CONS

TV for PS4, which one to choose?

The Sony Playstation 4 console is a powerful and functional device that is very popular among gamers around the world. High performance and flawless graphics require the right PS4 TV to get the most out of your gaming experience. To answer the question of which TV to choose for PS4, you first need to pay attention to the following characteristics:0003

• Image quality and screen resolution . A fairly important indicator (called a matrix), which is measured in the number of points. The higher this value, the better the output image and the sharper its detail. For PS4 slim, Full HD will be sufficient, if you have a playstation 4 pro, it is desirable to look towards 4K.
• Image refresh rate . This property is expressed in hertz. The lowest value for a comfortable game should be at least 60 Hz. To fully convey what is happening on the screen, the technique must have a frame refresh rate of 120 Hz. Modern models boast characteristics of 400 Hz.
• Type of die used . At this stage in the development of multimedia devices, there are 3 most common types of matrix — TN, IPS, MVA / PVA. The level of contrast, color reproduction, etc. will depend on the variety used. The last two types of matrix are the most suitable — such a TV for PS4 pro would be the best option.
• Signal delay. A range of 40 to 10 milliseconds will be sufficient, but in order to fully enjoy the game, especially when it comes to competitive and sports games, the value should be even lower. For more information on this issue, ask the consultant immediately before buying a TV for PS4. The INPUT LAG characteristic is extremely important, so it must be taken into account.
• Availability of HDR (High Dynamic Range). Both slim and pro versions of the console support this technology, which means that if it is available on TV, your picture will be even more pleasant.

TOP 5 best TVs for PS4

There is a wide range of equipment on the multimedia equipment market, which is distinguished by impeccable technical and operational characteristics. But which TV to choose for PS4, so that you can maximize the possibility of a gaming device. Below are the models that are the best options for the gameplay.

1. Sony KD -43 XE 7077 The diagonal of this TV panel is 43 inches, supports the 4K HDR technology necessary for high-quality image detail. Also important for excellent color reproduction is the built-in 4K X-Reality PRO microprocessor. A wide range of common interfaces is placed on the product case. There is an indispensable function of SMART TV. The cost of such a TV for PS4 varies, and is in the range of $800.
2. Samsung UE 49 MU 6300 U A distinctive feature of the device is a curved screen (49 inches). It allows players to take a fresh look at the mechanics of the game — new opportunities open up. The TV is equipped with 4K HDR technology and powerful, surround sound.
