What to look for in a gaming TV for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, or Nintendo Switch
Of the three current main gaming console companies, Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 are far more powerful than Nintendo Switch. However, the Xbox Series X is quite a bit more powerful than the smaller and more affordable Xbox Series S Still, you don’t really get the whole Xbox or PlayStation experience or even take full advantage of these consoles’ abilities unless you have a 4K TV (or higher) that offers HDMI 2.1 ports. These connection areas are the latest standard and allow the consoles to support 4K gaming at 120Hz for smoother gameplay than previous HDMI connections. When it comes to speed, the quicker response time the TV has the better. Ideally, this means 1ms response time or faster so the TV is sure to display the most recent image it is supposed to be displaying at any given moment.
Of course, some people like to connect their PCs and gaming laptops to TVs for a better (and larger) viewing experience. In these scenarios, it’s good to get TVs that support NVIDIA G-Sync and/or AMD FreeSync as these work with compatible NVIDIA or AMD GPUs to reduce stutter and tearing in games for smoother gameplay.
Outside of the more technical components, you also want to get a TV with great color accuracy, brightness, and contrast ratios. These all work together to determine how well visuals show up on the screen. OLED TVs offer the best true black experience, meaning that the areas that are supposed to be dark are actually turned off allowing greater contrast against other colors. This helps make darker video game scenes pop with plenty of detail visible. This is one of the reasons that I absolutely love my LG C2 OLED TV and recommend it to everyone. Now that it’s on sale at a low price, it’s an even better deal than usual.
