High-frame-rate gaming is a core strength, especially on PC where the panel can run up to 165Hz.
Pros: glare resistance, black levels
Cons: Dolby Vision support, color gamut
PC players can reach 4K/144Hz or 1080p/288Hz, providing unusually flexible high-refresh options for a television.
Pros: peak brightness, picture quality
Cons: color accuracy, viewing angles
High-refresh-rate gaming works extremely well, with one reviewer sustaining 120 frames per second in a demanding PS5 title.
Pros: picture quality, value for money
Cons: stand quality, daytime viewing performance
4K/120 gaming works well and gives modern consoles a responsive, fluid presentation.
Pros: overall satisfaction, picture quality
Cons: reliability, portability and versatility
High-refresh play looks smooth and responsive, giving modern consoles and gaming PCs room to run at their supported frame rates.
Pros: picture quality, value for money
Cons: stand quality, judder handling
The move from 144Hz to 165Hz is a useful upgrade for PC players. One test found intermittent flicker and softness at 165Hz, while 120Hz remained more stable.
Pros: picture quality, gaming performance
Cons: value for money, sound quality
PC gaming reaches up to 165Hz, while consoles are exceptionally well served at 120Hz. The maximum 165Hz mode can trade some gradation and chroma quality for speed.
Pros: picture quality, peak brightness
Cons: value for money, sound quality
120Hz play is smooth and responsive for consoles, but falls short of the higher refresh ceilings available on premium gaming TVs.
Pros: contrast ratio, value for money
Cons: peak brightness, HDR brightness
High-refresh gaming is usually a standout strength, especially for PC use and 120Hz-capable consoles. One conflicting source describes a 60Hz ceiling, while another cautions that the full 144Hz benefit is...
Pros: overall satisfaction, value for money
Cons: smart TV platform, blooming control
High-refresh gaming is a headline strength, reaching 165Hz in several tests and making the set particularly appealing to PC gamers.
Pros: overall satisfaction, picture quality
Cons: reliability, build quality
The TV is well suited to 120Hz console gaming, but its ceiling is less ambitious than newer 144Hz-and-higher competitors.
Pros: overall satisfaction, picture quality
Cons: HDMI 2.1 port count, reflection handling
120Hz gaming can feel smooth and responsive, but the lack of 144Hz or 165Hz support leaves serious PC players better served elsewhere.
Pros: gaming performance, peak brightness
Cons: HDMI 2.1 support, HDMI 2.1 port count
High-refresh gaming is a major weakness because the panel tops out at 60Hz. Reviewers consistently recommend 120Hz or 144Hz competitors for serious gaming.
Pros: picture quality, overall satisfaction
Cons: value for money, reliability
One demanding gaming test found 120Hz motion response notably weak, making the TV less appealing for high-refresh competitive play.
Pros: overall satisfaction, overall image accuracy
Cons: value for money, bass performance
