My lasting impression of this TV is just how impressive the OLED panel on it is. This is bolstered by AMD FreeSync Premium support, offering this TV a genuinely smooth gaming experience in my time with it.ĭid I mention I bought this TV myself? I've been so tempted by its spec for a long while now, after finally seeing one in person, I decided to take the plunge and pick one up. Not only is its refresh rate actually comparable to a gaming monitor, the automatic game mode keeps input lag to a minimum. The Samsung's spec list is practically immense for gaming. For now, a 4K TV is best suited to our needs, and this one is capable of running at 120Hz to sweeten the deal for us gamers.

8K TVs are available, but we'd need a lot more powerful graphics cards than even the RTX 4090 to really make the most of them. This is a 4K TV, which shouldn't come as a surprise. It's the culmination of a bunch of development from the massive Korean tech company, including Quantum Dot display tech, bundled in a smart-looking and unnervingly thin chassis. Most high-end TVs offer very low input lag, and plenty more support for FreeSync and G-Sync.įor the time being, this is Samsung's definitive OLED TV. The main thing we're looking for in the best gaming TVs, whether OLED or not, is a snappy response time. And soon enough I'm sure we'll be looking to MicroLED panels for our high-end picks, too, but they're a ways off affordable or available yet. That's why we're still recommending some other speedy TVs without OLED panels that are plenty suitable for gaming. The only thing is OLED, while getting cheaper every year, remains a premium purchase. Seriously, once you get a look at a stunning OLED, it's tough to go back to a standard LCD.

Most of our top picks in this guide are OLED screens simply because these are the panels we're buying ourselves.

OLED panels are starting to arrive in gaming monitors, but most of the time these are the same panels used in the best gaming TVs cut-down to size. They're often referred to as having infinite contrast ratio, and that makes them a great fit for gaming where dark and light scenes can be washed out without pricey backlighting tech on modern panels. Most high-end TVs today come with OLED panels, and these self-emitting pixels deliver exceptional contrast and color.
