whether you're a hardcore gamer or you only get to fire your console up a few
times a month you deserve a great gaming experience and some TVs are simply better
for playing video games than others if gaming is an important consideration
when you shop for a TV well these are the models you should be looking at
welcome back everyone I'm Caleb Denison and whether your team Xbox Team PlayStation team
PC or Team all of them these are my picks for the best TVs for gaming in 2022. I'm going to run them
down for you and along the way explain which TVs do which stuff best so you can hone in on the TV
that will best suit your needs I've got picks from budget friendly to cost No Object here so there's
a little something for everyone and hey if you like this sort of content consider giving this
video a like and subscribing so you can see more like it and if I left one of your favorites off
the list let us know about it down in the comments you might end up helping somebody out I appreciate
it because honestly I can't cover them all or we'd be here all day right thanks for your support oh
by the way I have links to all the TVs on this list at the best price from select retailers down
in the description if you buy through one of those links it'll definitely help out the channel thank
you for considering so before I get to my first pick I just want to explain my my criteria and how
I weigh them to arrive at the choices I'm about to run down the first thing I look for is low input
lag because if there's too much delay between the action of your thumbs and the action on screen
well that's just a frustration nobody needs plus it can actually be a disadvantage in competitive
gameplay where a few milliseconds can literally be the difference between a dub or an L next I
look for solid picture quality in the TV's game mode preset which is what you'll want to use for
the lowest input lag the picture quality doesn't have to be video file grade awesome but it can't
be trash either today's game Graphics are gorgeous and you deserve all that gorgeousness so we seek
to find the best balance between low input lag and awesome picture next we need to have great motion
resolution we don't have to have 120 hertz native panels for good motion resolution a 60 hertz TV
can look good but not all of them do so we want to make sure we see as little blurring and stutter as
possible for the best Clarity during fast moving gameplay but since I mentioned 120 hertz that is
definitely a nice to have along with some other Advanced gaming features like variable refresh
rate also known as vrr Auto game mode Dolby Vision gaming and maybe even up to 144hz refresh rate in
some cases now for some of you these are actually Essentials not nice to have so I'll definitely be
pointing these out for you and then I'll also give bonus points for extra impressive HDR and or Dolby
Vision performance as well as add-on features like a gaming dashboard or gaming Hub now there
are a lot of other TVs out there that are great for gaming but that's kind of the problem right
it's hard to narrow it down when you're shopping and that's why I'm just highlighting a few of my
favorites here so with that let's run down the list starting with some budget friendly options
and working our way to the best of the best so my top pick for a budget friendly gaming TV is
gonna have to be the TCL 5 Series this is a TV that has local dimming for better black levels
and pretty decent contrast too hdr10 and Dolby Vision support and very low input lag between
12 and 15 milliseconds it's got a 60 hertz panel but it does offer variable refresh rate between 48
to 60 hertz again this is the 2022 model okay and that's rarely seen at this price it's got
reasonably good motion resolution and a black frame insertion feature that can reduce blurring
if you like that sort of thing best of all though the picture quality is really outstanding at this
price this really is one of the best deals out there though I have to also give a shout out
to the Hisense u6h for being very competitive at about the same price next up on this list and on
the budget tiers is well it's a tie honestly two excellent TVs in general both great for
gaming and both ridiculously well priced for their picture quality it's the Hisense u8h and the TCL
6 series both offer impressive picture quality with solid motion resolution both use mini LED
backlighting and have a bunch of dimming zones for great contrast and H HDR performance both
offer very low input lag and support generic vrr as well as freesync both have 120 hertz panels
although PC Gamers may prefer the TCL since it can actually tip up to 144 Hertz in vrr
the Hisense u8h does get a bit brighter than the tcl6 series but the TCL tends to upscale a touch
better than the Hisense in the end the deciding factor may come down to which Smart TV interface
you prefer as the tcl6 series is a Roku TV while the Hisense u8h uses the Google TV platform either
way these are definitely the two best bang for your buck options on this list next up is a TV
that makes the list if for no other reason because it's a Sony with PlayStation 5 friendly features
that you won't find on any non-sony TV check out the Sony x90k it features Auto HDR tone
mapping which ensures that you get the best HDR image quality without having to manually adjust
anything on the PlayStation 5 like you will with other TVs it also has Auto genre detection which
knows the difference between a game that you're playing versus a movie that you're streaming and
it adjusts the picture mode automatically it supports 4K 120 hertz gaming with vrr
and input lag as low as 8.5 milliseconds but without sacrificing too much picture quality
with mini LED backlighting and some of the most accurate color in game mode at or around this
price point the Sony x90k is an excellent choice for gaming in general but an especially good one
for PlayStation 5 lovers we have now arrived on the Samsung qn 90b TV now I could have put the
slightly less expensive qn85b here but I think the qn 90b makes the most sense because for a little
bit more money you get quite a bit more picture quality and the gaming friendly features just
pile on from there mini LED backlighting some of the best backlight control on the market for
minimal blooming and amazing black levels some of the best glare reduction on the market for
full bandwidth HDMI 2.1 ports for 4K 120 hertz vrr freesync Auto game mode and auto console detection
it'll actually name your input automatically but what may set this TV apart from the others most
is that you don't need a game console or pc at all since Samsung supports the widest array of cloud
gaming apps including Xbox game pass really the only thing this TV can't do is Dolby Vision okay
we've worked our way to the best of the best here and my last pick is without a doubt the absolute
best gaming TV you can buy but in a very close second place is another Samsung TV one which has
the best overall picture quality on this list I'm talking about the Samsung s95b QD OLED now
QD OLED technology is a new type of OLED display that can produce more colors and brighter colors
than any other TV on this list in fact only the Sony a 95k QD OLED can actually match it but the
Samsung s95b has all the amazing gaming features I mentioned before with the qn 90b low input lag
great motion resolution cloud gaming options four HDMI 2.1 ports 4K 120 hertz vrr freesync a gaming
Hub the only thing it can't do is again Dolby Vision but with picture quality like this I'm
not sure you're going to care and finally the best gaming TV you can buy in 2022 drum roll
please it's the LG C2 OLED This TV has everything it's the only TV on this list with every gaming
feature Under the Sun for HDMI 2.1 ports 4K 120 hertz with g-sync vrr in Dolby Vision mode all
at the same time if you can even find content that requires that plus it's got a fun gaming
dashboard for nerdy performance stats as well as incredible picture quality instant response time
ultra low input lag like the lgc2 is just the total package and there's is just nothing else
like it except maybe the LGC one OLED if you can find one of those snatch it up and save yourself
some money either way you're not only getting what I think is the best gaming TV out there but one
of the best TVs you can buy right now period thus making it a universally great option for anything
you want to watch you are going to love it thanks as always for watching everyone which TV do you
