The display quality has to be top-notch to make the most of the latest console gaming hardware. Additionally, it needs to have gaming-centric features like low latency input, high refresh rate and audio synchronisation for the best gameplay. To help you pick the right 55-inch TV for your gaming setup, we have shortlisted some models from top manufacturers. These models, available on Amazon, offer the right mix of powerful specifications and useful features.
