Best TVs for gaming

Updated on 12-Oct-2021

The latest TV models are rarely designed for just content consumption, with features such as 4K and HDR being equally sought for gaming. Once known for slower response times and an overall lack of fidelity, modern TVs have shed that reputation for good. Today, they come bearing features like adaptive refresh rate and auto low latency mode to compete with gaming monitors. With the latest generation of gaming consoles offering high resolution and frame rates, your next gaming TV needs to be capable of matching up. Additionally, it should also be equally good at non-gaming use cases to make it a versatile choice. Here are some models available on Amazon that offer a great combination of useful features and specifications.
