Best 4K TVs for Gaming

Maybe you’re a seasoned gamer who is almost as good as Michael “Shroud” Grzesiek, or you’re a newbie who wants to be the next PewDiePie. Either way, you want a great 4K gaming TV.

And we're going to guess that you want a TV that will make you feel immersed in the game. You want the best color, picture, sound, and reaction time, all for a reasonable price.

If we're right, you have to check out our top five 4K TVs for gaming on your Xbox Series X, PS5, or Xbox One. Let’s get into the details of the best 4K TV for your bedroom or living room.

This TCL 6-Series 4K TV is one of the most highly-rated TVs for gaming for its price, picture quality, sound, and THX Certified Gaming Mode.

But especially for its picture quality because many consumers have said it has the best image quality they’ve seen. *Adding to the cart*

THX Certified Gaming Mode promises zero image smear, slow response time, or input lag. So your scenes will appear instantaneously, images look sharper, and gameplay will be super smooth.

On top of all that, enjoy the brightness and vivid color of this HDR QLED TV as you’re playing Rainbow 6 Extraction or Elden Ring.

Even though this TV has excellent sound already, keep in mind that connecting to outside audio sources—like a soundbar—was a little difficult to set up with this TCL 4K TV. So make sure to set time aside to connect it properly so you can immerse yourself in the action's sound.

This inexpensive TCL 4K TV has features you’d see with $600–$1,000 TVs, such as Ultra high definition (UHD) and high dynamic range (HDR) for a lifelike gaming experience.

You get quite a bit out of this 4K TV for the low price. The picture, clarity, sound, and setup are all smooth and crisp that any gamer can likely get behind.

After the easy setup, you can connect your Xbox or PS4 and start playing Horizon Forbidden West within minutes.

Some consumers have said that turning on this 4K TV and launching apps, like Netflix, can take up to 10 seconds. And another consumer said the remote’s response time was speedy.

Any gamer will want a 120 Hz Native refresh rate for a smoother image while playing on your PS5.

This Hisense 4K TV also delivers Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, and IMAX Enhanced.

Dolby Vision HDR picture and Dolby Atmos sound will make you feel like you’re actually in Sifu. IMAX Enhanced adds to that cinematic experience with 4K HDR image and DTS audio technologies.

So you could say this TV is also great for those who’d rather watch action in the comfort of their couch instead of going to the movie theaters.

To be safe, we’d recommend grabbing a warranty—but it might be a good idea to do that with any TV. Some reviewers have said they’ve eventually encountered flaws with the screen, like flickering and blotchiness.

Many consumers have said great things about the quality of this product in relation to the price.

A recent customer review said this TV is the “best ULED TV for the price,” which boosts the color, contrast, brightness, and motion of your gaming experience. An avid gamer also said, “it has amazing picture, and the sound quality is top-notch.”

Like the Hisense above, this Hisense 4K TV also has a 120 Hz refresh rate, Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos sound, and IMAX Enhanced. The biggest difference we saw was a few gamers experiencing problems connecting their PS5.

This TV's features say it’s compatible with VRR on the PS5, but one consumer said the TV displayed 4K at 60 Hz instead of 120 Hz. Another said he turned on Enhance Mode to activate the VRR for the PS5, but they must constantly reset it.

It doesn’t hurt to order a warranty, but we will say there were still a lot of reviews that had no problems connecting their PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One S, and Nintendo Switch.

With the a7 Gen 4 AI Processor 4K, this LG OLED TV lets you catch every detail of Call of Duty with a smooth, crisp picture.

This technology can automatically adjust your viewing and audio settings with AI Picture and Sound for each scene.

The NVIDIA G-SYNC and FreeSync Premium compatibility allow for no screen tearing, easier access to game settings, low input lag, and fast response times.

You might wonder why this TV is in the fifth spot, but it had significantly fewer reviews than the TCL 6-Series 4K TV. But consumers said this TV would deliver an excellent gaming experience and cinematic picture for streaming Netflix, Hulu, or Disney+.

• TCL 55-inch 6-Series 4K Roku Smart TV: This TCL 4K TV is a consumer favorite because of its $650 price tag, excellent picture quality and sound, and THX Certified Gaming Mode makes playing Lego Star Wars so much better. You’ll get zero image smear, a quick response time, and no input lag.
• TCL 43-inch 4-Series 4K Android Smart TV: Best for money-saving gamers, this $248 4K TV has UHD, HDR, and an easy setup. Some consumers have said it can be slow to turn on or launch apps, but it might not bother you, knowing you saved money to buy more video games.
• Hisense 55U8G 55-inch 4K Android Smart TV: This Hisense 4K TV delivers a 120 Hz Native refresh rate, Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos sound, and IMAX Enhanced. (Depending on the kind of gamer you are, you might be interested in spending $50 more than the TCL 55-inch.) You’ll get the cinematic experience while gaming and streaming.
• Hisense 55U7G 65-inch 4K Android Smart TV: Reviewers have said you get the most bang for your buck with this Hisense 4K TV. This 65-inch TV for $800 has all of the features that the Hisense above possesses, but the most significant difference we saw reviewers comment on is this TV might not be for the PS5 gamers.
• LG OLED B1 Series 55-inch 4K Alexa Smart TV: If you’re willing to pay a little extra money for a great TV for gaming ($1,000), then this LG OLED TV might be it. The LG has the best processor of the bunch with the a7 Gen 4 AI Processor 4K, and it adjusts the picture and audio of each scene with AI Picture and Sound.

We ranked and found the best TVs for video games based on these factors:

1. Star rating and number of consumer reviews
2. Gaming features
3. Price

We weighed our ranking mainly on the star rating, total number of reviews, and content of the reviews. We trust consumers, especially the gamers, in this case, to deliver information on how their gaming experience played out (pun intended) with these 4K TV’s.

We ensured the price was right for the features gamers would appreciate, such as picture and sound quality, gaming mode, quick response time, and low input lag.
