Best TVs for gaming mode quality

#1

Automatic Game mode switches in with a console and produces highly responsive performance without requiring manual setup.

#2

Game presets retain bright color and strong contrast while leaving many picture controls available for customization.

#3

Game Optimizer is highly effective, reducing lag, improving frame-rate handling, and keeping controls smooth.

#4

Game Optimizer preserves strong HDR impact and provides quick access to useful controls. Some samples needed tuning, and one 48-inch unit showed reduced color saturation.

#5

Game Mode gets positive marks for making colors pop and producing an attractive image. The mode itself is good even though the 60Hz hardware limits performance.

#6

Game Mode is described as looking very good and offering substantial picture customization, even though it lacks some step-up-model conveniences.

#7

Game mode preserves much of the TV’s punchy picture while reducing latency, so speed does not require a severe loss in image quality.

#8

Game Optimizer is feature-rich and responsive, but firmware-dependent HGiG, color, and high-refresh accuracy issues keep it from being flawless.

#9

Game Mode usually cuts lag effectively, but a few users found it unavailable or needed extra setup to get the expected behavior.
