What Are The Best Gaming TVs?

When it comes to gaming TVs, it’s all about refresh rates (measured in Hz) and input latency or lag. Input latency/lag refers to how quickly a TV can display images, while refresh rate is how many times a TV refreshes itself every second.

 

“A low latency rating is what gamers want, so that you can complete those lightning-fast moves and not have to deal with any annoying lag with the images on your screen,” says David Linehan, The Good Guys Buyer – Tech Accessories. “The best gaming TVs have low input latency ratings of 30 milliseconds or less.”

When it comes to refresh rates, casual gamers should look for rates of 60Hz, while competitive gamers should aim for refresh rates of more than 120Hz.
