Best 2025 TVs for high-refresh-rate gaming

#1

Fast PC modes are outstanding value at up to 4K/144Hz or 1080p/288Hz on supported sizes, despite slower 60Hz pixel response.

#2

The near-instant OLED transitions keep 120Hz and 144Hz gameplay exceptionally crisp, notably on PC.

#3

Support up to 4K/165Hz is attractive to PC players, but the image can smear in difficult motion despite the high signal rate.

#4

Fast PC modes and console-friendly refresh rates are big strengths, though a reported PC handshake problem and slower pixel transitions keep performance from being flawless.

#5

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...

#6

High-refresh gaming is a headline strength, reaching 165Hz in several tests and making the set particularly appealing to PC gamers.

#7

Fast 4K play looks engaging, with support up to 144Hz through compatible inputs; 288Hz gaming requires a lower resolution.

#8

The large 144Hz panel and low lag appeal to gamers, but motion blur persists even at the highest refresh settings.

#9

Up to 4K/144Hz and low input lag appeal to PC players, but detailed motion testing reveals dark-transition blur even at high refresh rates. Speed on paper is not the same...

#10

120Hz and 144Hz are useful for responsive games, although slow transitions from very dark shades can add blur.

#11

120Hz consoles and 144Hz PCs get useful input support, but the slow pixel response prevents consistently crisp fast action.

#12

The 55-inch and larger versions support up to 144Hz with lower-resolution signals; the 50-inch version lacks that option.

#13

120Hz gaming can feel smooth and responsive, but the lack of 144Hz or 165Hz support leaves serious PC players better served elsewhere.

#14

The 120Hz and 144Hz formats appeal to competitive players, but slow pixel transitions can squander that refresh-rate advantage.

#15

120Hz is excellent for current consoles, but limited compared with 144Hz, 165Hz or faster sets aimed at serious PC gamers.

#16

Anyone used to 120Hz or faster screens will notice the 60Hz limit, which makes this a poor upgrade for competitive high-refresh play.

#17

The set tops out at 60Hz regardless of input resolution, so it cannot provide the 120Hz or higher output expected for modern fast-paced gaming.

#18

The 60Hz panel cannot serve high-refresh-rate console or PC gaming; 4K/120fps is not available.

#19

A native 60 Hz panel without VRR cannot meet the expectations of 120 fps competitive or high-refresh console and PC gaming.

#20

A commonly expected 1080p/120Hz mode fails on the configuration, despite support for 1440p/120Hz.
