What To Look For
in a Gaming TV

The following points show you what to look for in a gaming TV to save money and make the best purchase ever!

The input lag refers to the time the TV takes to convert the signal sent from the console and display it on screen. In other words, you want a gaming TV featuring a low input lag so your gaming experience is smooth, fast, and dynamic. When you are seconds away from winning, the low input lag will only amplify your chances!

After all, who wants to play games when the orders of picking up an object, shooting, or running don’t get translated to the screen right away? These delays feel like a lifetime when the game gets heated and intense!

So, to avoid the time gap between the order and its appearance on the screen, look for a gaming TV with an input lag of about 50 milliseconds (ms) or less. However, if you’re super competitive, aim for one with an input lag of 25 ms or less.

As LG OLED's self-lit pixels illuminate independently, the display achieves a 0.1ms response time for clearer visuals. VRR keeps up with changes in frame rate to reduce image tearing. And with a bandwidth of 48Gbps, you can play graphic-rich games without worries about delay.

If you’re new to gaming, you have probably heard of the high refresh rate feature. But what is it? And why is a high refresh rate one of the things to look for in a gaming TV? Simply put, the refresh rate refers to how often the image on the screen is updated.

Therefore, as you may be guessing, a TV with a low refresh rate will only irritate you during the game because it will take a long time to refresh the screen, and you will not see the impact of your action and that of others as immediately as you’d like!

When shopping for a gaming TV, you will come across numbers followed by the letters Hz. These numbers refer to the refresh rate. So, ensure you get a gaming TV with a 120Hz refresh rate, for instance, so you will not worry about any delays or slowness.

If you’re interested in such high-speed gaming, LG’s gaming TVs offer a refresh rate of 120Hz and more incredible features!

LG TVs are known for their advanced gaming features, which include support for Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), Automatic Low Latency Mode (ALLM), G-Sync, and FreeSync.

VRR is a technology that allows a TV to adjust its refresh rate to match the frame rate of the content being displayed. This can help reduce screen tearing, stuttering, and input lag, resulting in a smoother gaming experience. ALLM is a related feature that automatically switches the TV into its low-latency mode when it detects that a gaming console or PC is connected. This can further reduce input lag and improve the overall responsiveness of the TV.

G-Sync and FreeSync are two different technologies that allow a TV to synchronize its refresh rate with the frame rate of a connected device. This can help eliminate screen tearing and stuttering, resulting in a smoother, more immersive gaming experience. G-Sync is a proprietary technology developed by NVIDIA, while FreeSync is an open standard developed by AMD.

LG TVs that support G-Sync and FreeSync are compatible with a wide range of gaming devices, including the Xbox Series X and Series S, the PlayStation 5, and gaming PCs. They also support the latest gaming technologies like 4K resolution, HDR, and wide color gamut, which can enhance the visual experience of gaming.

In summary, LG TVs are equipped with advanced gaming features like VRR, ALLM, G-Sync, and FreeSync that can enhance the overall gaming experience. These features can reduce input lag and eliminate screen tearing and stuttering, resulting in a smoother and more immersive gaming experience. Additionally, they also support various gaming resolution and graphic display standards.

The higher the resolution, the more details visible to your eye, and the more you see.

To simplify this, imagine you are looking at a screen without your glasses; the vision is blurry, you cannot see precise shapes, everything lacks definition, and you cannot comprehend what you’re looking at. Now, put the glasses on, and you will enjoy clear vision with every detail visible. When it comes to gaming TVs, the high resolution is like glasses; when implemented, you can see the fictional world you’re part of clearly, vividly, and in great detail. Without it, however, all details and shapes blur into each other, leaving you with nothing solid to perceive.

QNED offers even more for gamers to love, with fast response times and a smooth, stunningly immersive Quantum Dot NanoCell display. Combined with an ultra-large 8K screen, this is the ultimate gaming experience.

With LG QNED gaming TVs, you will receive 8K resolution, immersing you in gaming where thrill knows no limits.

A TV with a High Dynamic Range (HDR) offers a wide range of colours and displays all images with the correct level of brightness. This technology makes the pictures displayed seem extraordinarily dynamic and lively with colours, engaging the player even further with the game.

LG OLED earned High Gaming Performance Gold* from TÜV Rheinland, certifying that the displays feature the highest grade display technology for gaming. In addition, Intertek accredited the televisions for Qualified Gaming Performance due to superior color and HDR support.

The good news is that every 4K TV on the market supports HDR, and LG’s NanoCell gaming TVs are no different! LG’s NanoCell gaming TVs are designed with the best technologies and features that exceed all expectations!
