Which TV is best for gaming?

The best TV for gamers is defined by its ability to keep gameplay smooth, responsive, and visually stable, even in the most demanding fast-action scenes. For a truly immersive experience, look for a TV with a high refresh rate, high VRR (Variable Refresh Rate), and low input lag as your primary buying checklist. These features work together to reduce screen tearing, stuttering, and delay between your controller input and what you see on screen, so every movement feels more precise and natural, providing a smooth and responsive setup right out of the box.

The essentials of a great gaming TV

What is a refresh rate?

Refresh rate is the number of times your TV updates the image per second, measured in Hz (Hertz). In real gameplay scenarios, the difference is clear. A 120Hz TV refreshes the screen 120 times per second, making motion noticeably smoother than a standard 60Hz display, especially in fast gameplay like racing, sports, action, or FPS. While 60Hz may cause motion blur during quick turns, higher refresh rates improve clarity and reduce lag, helping you track enemies, UI elements, and fast-moving objects with professional precision.

LG TV for gaming shows a split-screen image of a car in motion, with the left side appearing more blurred and the right side clearer, highlighting reduced motion blur and improved clarity for smoother, more responsive gameplay.

What is VRR (Variable Refresh Rate)?

VRR is a technology that synchronises the refresh rate of games with your display in real-time. When the refresh rates aren’t synced, this can cause screen tearing and video stuttering. The most popular formats are Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync Premium. For gamers, this is a must-have feature to look for when buying a TV to ensure seamless and immersive gameplay without visual interruptions.

LG TV for gaming with VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) shows a racing game on screen, where a car remains smooth and aligned with the display as real-time sync reduces screen tearing and stuttering for more responsive gameplay.

What is input lag?

Input lag is the delay between pressing a button on your controller and seeing the action appear on screen. The lower the input lag, the more instantly your TV responds, which is the most critical factor for competitive gaming where timing and precision determine the winner. A TV with low input lag helps movements feel immediate, giving you a distinct competitive edge in fast paced environments.

LG TV for gaming with low input lag shows a side-by-side scene, where an attack toward a fast-moving creature appears delayed on one side and more immediate on the other, illustrating faster, more precise gameplay response.

Why are LG TVs good for gaming?

LG TVs are designed to be among the best TVs for gaming, delivering smoother, more responsive play with fluid motion, minimal lag, and immersive picture quality that keeps you fully in the game. These lineups are specifically engineered to meet the high-performance standards of next-gen hardware.

LG TV for Unbeatable Gameplay in 4K 165Hz shows a high-speed racing game with a yellow open-wheel car in motion, bold “WIN” text on screen, and NVIDIA G-SYNC and AMD FreeSync Premium logos at the top.

4K 165Hz VRR gaming with G-SYNC & FreeSync

Refresh rate is an indicator of how smooth your screen’s performance can be. While 120Hz is the standard, LG pushes boundaries with up to 165Hz support, meaning the screen refreshes 165 times per second. This higher refresh rate results in even smoother motion than 120Hz, which is most noticeable when playing ultra-fast-paced games or watching high-speed content.

*It only works with games or PC inputs that support 165Hz.

*NVIDIA G-Sync compatible with RTX 20, RTX 30, RTX 40 and GTX 16 graphics cards. Older GPUs do not support G-Sync compatibility.

*LG OLED TV sets have been certified as DSC by VESA.

LG TV with low input-lag shows an intense gaming scene with a towering combat robot amid explosions, with on-screen text referencing Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) and Intertek-certified Qualified Gaming Performance.

Low input lag with 0.1ms OLED response—no ghosting

With its 0.1ms pixel response time and ALLM for ultra-low latency, every command is rendered with immediate precision. This heightened responsiveness keeps fast gameplay clear and controlled, offering the best TV setup for professional-level competition.

*LG OLED displays have been certified as "0.1 response times (Gray to Gray) and Qualified Gaming Performance" by Intertek.

LG TV with Clear Motion shows a game scene of a character walking toward a castle beneath a large moon, with on-screen HGiG and VESA Certified ClearMR text highlighting smooth, clear motion.

Clear Motion with HGiG and ClearMR 10000

HGiG keeps HDR tone mapping true to the creator’s intent, while ClearMR 10000 minimizes motion blur for crisp clarity in fast scenes. The result is deeper immersion with visuals that stay remarkably accurate and clear in every moment.

*HGiG is a volunteer group of companies from the game and TV display industries that meet to specify and make available for the public guidelines to improve consumer gaming experiences in HDR.

*Support for HGiG may vary by country.

*ClearMR is a certification program of VESA to evaluate the motion blur performance of the display.
