The lack of a screen size under 50 inches means it may not be ideal for a desktop gaming setup. I have all the necessary test equipment and software to provide objective measurements to back up my subjective opinions. If you are a serious gamer and want a TV with the lowest input lag and the most advanced gaming features, these picks are for you. The differences they offer in gaming performance might be small—but in competitive gaming, every bit counts.
Although traditional criteria—such as 4K resolution, high dynamic range support, and low input lag—remain important, we now also look for TVs that have full HDMI 2. Such support includes the following:. During our research and testing of the newest TVs, we found that many models supported some of these features but few supported all of them—at least for the time being.
Some manufacturers have promised firmware updates to add these features, but in our latest round we considered only TVs in which the HDMI 2.
That said, this year we found that most of our top overall performers were also the best TVs for gaming. For video gaming, two criteria are more important than they might be for standard TV or movie viewing: input lag and motion response.
Input lag describes the amount of time it takes an image from a gaming system to appear on the screen after the TV has finished processing it. Most TVs offer a game mode that lowers input lag at the expense of image quality, but the mode can make a huge difference in how responsive the game feels. Your button presses are more in sync with the on-screen actions you see, improving your gaming experience and, hopefully, your performance.
To measure input lag, we used a Murideo Seven Generator , which can test input lag at a wide range of resolutions and frame rates, including p at Hz.
The other main feature of a gaming TV concerns how fluid and responsive the motion of a game is. Games run at 30, 60, and now even frames per second, while movies run at only 24 fps.
Sports content also runs at 60 fps. Some TVs now support a variable refresh rate, automatically changing their refresh rate to match that of the video game console. Since many video games run at rates lower than the Hz refresh rate when the action on screen is too intense, a variable refresh rate allows the TV to display motion without repeating frames to create a smoother presentation. The C1 also supports Dolby Vision HDR gaming at 4K Hz, which is rare in , and it has a gaming dashboard for you to easily access and adjust all of its gaming features.
The C1 comes in , , , , and inch sizes, so you should be able to find one to fit your room—and though the pricing of OLED TVs is still higher than that of similarly sized LCD TVs, it has fallen considerably over the past few years.
Unlike almost every other HDMI 2. The input lag on the LG C1 models is impressively low. With a Hz signal, our input-lag measurement in the center of the screen was just 7 milliseconds. Since a TV draws images from top to bottom, left to right, the center of the screen would take a minimum of just over 4 ms to draw if there were no lag, so the LG C1 adds less than 3 ms of lag to the image in game mode. This extremely fast response time is the best you can find in a TV today.
Unlike other HDR sources, game consoles can adapt their output to match what a display is capable of. By supporting the HGiG guidelines that the new consoles also support, the C1 allows you to use the HDR calibration feature in your console to make sure you get an ideal image adapted just for your display.
The LG C1, in contrast, fully supports this function, so you can get the best image quality from all your HDR games without sacrificing frame rate. Compared with the pixels on an LCD screen, the pixels on an OLED can change colors much faster, which produces less blurring on screen and a sharper, clearer image.
For even better motion quality, LG offers a black-frame-insertion mode called OLED Motion Pro, with low, medium, and high settings that adjust the length of time the black frames appear between frames of video. Longer periods increase motion clarity but decrease light output. In our tests, on low and medium this function added 9 ms of input lag, while on high it added 18 ms of input lag.
For truly hardcore PC gamers, the inch C1 OLED can even fit on some desks and costs less than many competing monitors with similar features. However, based on our experience and long-term test data from both Rtings. There are edge cases, though, so if you tend to play the same game for eight to 10 hours a day for months at a time, you might consider one of our LCD picks below.
But for normal use with different games and different types of content, burn-in is not a problem we think people need to be worried about. The main difference is that a 48 Gbps bandwidth allows a 4K Hz signal to support 12 bits per pixel, while 40 Gbps allows only 10 bits per pixel. It has low input lag and supports all the HDMI 2. Also, Samsung has included game-specific image enhancements, such as frame interpolation for smoother motion and shadow boosting to make it easier for you to spot enemies, and the TV offers a Game Bar interface that lets you easily access these features.
Input lag came in very low, at only 10 ms for a 4K 60 Hz signal and 6 ms for a p Hz signal. You can enable black-frame insertion to reduce motion blur, but not with Hz signals this function also doubled the input lag.
You can see the current refresh rate, whether variable refresh rate and HDR are active, and whether the input lag is in the fastest mode. The QN90A produces a very good image for non-gaming content, as well. One area in which the QN90A suffers is with the depiction of star fields, as it can overly dim the stars and lose detail, but otherwise it produces a superb image with great local dimming.
The integrated Tizen smart TV platform works well and offers good streaming-service support, though the selection is not as comprehensive as what you can get from a separate media streamer. The QN90A has a centrally located stand, which makes it compatible with a wider variety of TV furniture—as opposed to TVs that have widely spaced feet and require larger pieces of furniture to hold them. You also miss out on ways to improve the game image through shadow or highlight controls, a game-specific motion interpolation mode, and a larger variety of screen sizes to choose from.
But the U7G has very low input lag and works great with the newest consoles. Input lag on the U7G is very good at around 15 ms for 60 Hz games and 8 ms for Hz gaming.
