Want to have the best gaming experience while gaming? Do you want the most fantastic graphics and an ultra-fast response time? Then choose a TV that is suitable for gaming.

Gaming TV specifications

These specifications are important for having the best gaming TV:

• Low input lag
• Game mode
• HDMI 2.1
• Variable Refresh Rate (VRR)
• Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM)
• High resolution

Low input lag, fast response time

Especially when playing action games, a low input lag is of great importance. The lower the input lag of a television, the less delay there is between pressing the buttons and executing the action on the screen. Of course, you don't want the enemy to take you down during Call of Duty before you have him in your sights! For gamers who play fast or action-packed games, we recommend televisions with an input lag of less than 20 ms. This way, you stay one step ahead of your opponents.

Image quality

A second important point when buying a new TV for gaming is the image quality. You want to see your game visually as slick as possible. That means the best depth of field ratio, a large color range and an image where black is really black.

Is high contrast important to you? Then choose a TV from the higher segment such as an OLED TV. The OLED TV gives you true-to-life colors and ensures that you can see even the smallest details in the shadow. Take a good look at the input lag of the OLED TV or QLED TV that you want to buy, so that it meets your needs.

HDR

8K is coming, but for now the advice is to choose a 4K resolution. The higher the resolution, the more details you see and the more color tones you can perceive. It is important that the 4K TV supports HDR. A TV with HDR can show you up to 1000 million colors. A television without HDR 'only' 17 million. In short, a 4K with HDR ensures even more realistic colors!

Game consoles & TV

If you have a PS4, Xbox One or Nintendo Switch, you can get by with most televisions, as long as the input lag is no more than 50ms.

If you have a PS4 Pro, Xbox One X or Xbox One S, your ultimate gaming TV needs more specifications. These game consoles support 4K and HDR. So if you want to experience the best image quality while gaming, make sure you buy a TV that meets these specifications!
