Best TV for Gaming in 2025 — What to Look For
Gaming on a big screen with a PS5, Xbox or PC is fantastic — but only if your TV has the right features. Here's what makes a great gaming TV in 2025.
Key Gaming TV Features
Refresh Rate (120Hz)
A 120Hz panel displays fast-paced games smoothly. Many current consoles support up to 120fps in supported titles, so a 120Hz TV is worth seeking out for serious gaming.
Low Input Lag & Game Mode
Low input lag makes controls feel instant. A dedicated Game Mode automatically reduces lag for a responsive experience.
HDMI 2.1 Features
HDMI 2.1 enables 4K at 120fps, plus VRR (variable refresh rate) and ALLM (auto low-latency mode) for tear-free, responsive play. Check the TV supports these if you game on a current console.
Resolution & Panel
4K is the standard, and QLED or OLED panels add vivid colour and deep contrast. Read QLED vs OLED vs LED.
Size & Placement
Pick a size that suits your room and seating distance — 50 to 65 inches is popular for console gaming. See our TV size guide.
