Play To Win With The Top 5 Gaming TVs

July 5, 2022- 4 min read

Buying a TV for gaming is different to buying a TV for general viewing. Kind of how purchasing a high-performance sports car is different from buying a family sedan. They’ll both get you where you want to go, but one has much more power under the hood. There are some important features to look for to keep you in pole position and TCL covers them all with their latest range of game-ready TVs. Packed with technology to help you level up, TCL TVs let you enjoy your favourite video games with incredible clarity and sound – so you can play to win every time.

Are TCL TVs Any Good?

You bet they are! Especially for gamers! In fact, according to John Milonas, The Good Guys Buyer – Televisions and Accessories, TCL is much more than just an affordable brand. “TCL actually makes TV parts for other brands and they’re experts in manufacturing screens. TCL is one of the world’s largest TV screen manufacturers. Buying your TV from the company that makes them can save you money while getting all those nice-to-have features for your gaming teen, or for playing to win after work.”

Top Features To Look For In A Gaming TV

When it comes to a gaming TV, the most important feature to look for is a high variable refresh rate. That means the number of frames your screen can show per second, or the difference between buttery smooth graphics and getting sniped by a player you couldn’t see.

Next, look for a strong game mode, which sets the TV to show the best possible picture for games, adjusting the HDR brightness, unlocking the refresh rate and boosting the audio.

If you want the best gaming TV for you (or your tween or teen), these are the top TCL TVs you need to upgrade your experience and always win on game night:

It has both Quantum Dot and Mini LED for optimum brightness and dimming capabilities to compete with top-of-the-line OLED TVs.

Best Gaming TV For Fast Action

The TCL C735 QLED 65” Google TV has 4K UHD with both Dolby Vision IQ and HDR10+. HDR (High-dynamic range) TVs allow for video and still images with much greater brightness and contrast, and better colour accuracy. Many streaming services and PlayStation 5 prefer HDR10, which is why it’s on so many TVs, but many of the big Xbox games are made for Dolby Vision. Having both is a huge benefit.

It also has Dolby Atmos audio, Google TV (for all your TCL smart TV needs and streaming services) and hands-free voice control. Plus, there’s a size to suit every home, including 65”, 75” and 98”, all at reasonable prices.

Best Gaming TV For Unbeatable Sound

The TCL C835 Mini LED 55” Google TV has something few other TVs have: a built-in subwoofer. When it comes to games, most of the truly important audio cues are in the bass, like soft footsteps and revving cars. The C835 can reproduce all of that with Dolby Atmos audio.

On top of that, it has a 144Hz variable refresh rate (VRR)* and Hands-Free voice control, truly bringing the future to your living room. Available in 55”, 65” and 75”.
