Best 2025 TVs for response time

#1

Gaming response feels fast and fluid in the source that evaluates response time directly.

#2

Almost immediate pixel changes give games and video very little motion smearing.

#3

OLED pixel response is effectively instantaneous, keeping motion clean and ghosting minimal for games and video.

#4

Pixel transitions are adequate on smaller sets rather than truly fast, while the 98-inch panel makes visible gains in gaming clarity.

#5

Pixel response is a split point: some gaming tests call it excellent, while others see slower transitions and visible trailing at high refresh rates.

#6

Pixel response is mixed: high-refresh gaming feels responsive, but dark transitions and 60Hz scenes can be noticeably blurry.

#7

Response times are not uniformly fast; some extreme shade changes leave visible trails during rapid movement.

#8

Response times vary by transition, with slow movement between very dark and bright shades. Gaming remains responsive overall, but the panel is not an OLED-speed performer.

#9

Response is quick in brighter transitions but noticeably slow in dark ones, causing visible blur in 120Hz and especially 60Hz gaming.

#10

Dark-to-bright pixel transitions are sluggish enough to create trails, especially in shadowy games.

#11

The pixel response is uneven, causing blur in dark moving objects and occasional VRR overshoot despite low input lag.

#12

Pixel response is slower than a regular gaming monitor according to one expert. It is acceptable for casual play but not a strength for fast competitive gaming.

#13

Slow pixel transitions are a major limitation in independent measurements, leaving visible blur even when the TV accepts 120Hz or 144Hz signals.

#14

Slow dark-to-bright transitions impair responsiveness.

#15

Slow transitions, especially involving dark shades, leave blurred trails behind fast-moving objects.

#16

Pixel transitions are slow enough to smear rapid movement, a clear drawback in fast games and action scenes.

#17

Slow pixel transitions create long blurry trails, especially in shadowy fast-moving scenes.

#18

Slow pixel transitions are a drawback for sharper fast-paced gaming and sports, especially on the tested 60Hz panel.

#19

Slow pixel transitions create ghosting, dark-state smearing and noticeable blur in fast-moving content.

#20

Pixel response is slow even at high refresh rates, with particularly obvious dark trailing and general motion blur.
