I use a 50" Seiki 4K Smart tv. It allows me to play my Xbox games in 4K; that's the reason I bought it. My old tv was a piece of crap. What kind of TV/Monitor do you guys use for gaming?

Samsung 65 UHD; got it this winter.

I would usually not bother getting 4K televisions, as I don't honestly notice the picture quality differences. But my old one died out so I was long overdue the upgrade. & wanted to see what the fuss was about. I still don't really see a difference, but the screen itself is light and saves electricity by comparison to my older one.

@RSM-HQ: did you notice any improvements? I am not familiar with samsung but if its capable for good HDR mapping then you will definitely see a very good difference compared to older tvs. Colors just pop more. Also much more fragile modern tvs dont last long :/.

85" SONY X900H. It was the TV suggested and made for the PS5. I use it for all my games even though I know I'm at a disadvantage with that large of a screen in multiplayer games I don't care. One day I'll probably try playing on a home theater...

@sakaixx: The 65 UHD Samsung is the one I got recommended from a trusted source, the quality is considered good but not the best as it is a few years old now. For me more important is Samsung smart television last a long time (apparently)

For the color, or vibrate picture; find it's usually due to customers leaving the image as default. I always play with the settings to fit my preference. But not really notice it being any better in particular.

Prior had a 720p HD, the jump to my new 4K UHD just isn't quite the SD to a HD screen some make it out to be. As such for me the image isn't a clear difference. 4K remains more pixels than the eye can notice, it's marketing buzz-wording for those who like to brag about more pixels. I can only assume how stupid a 8K display is.

For me the new screens advantages are it being lighter, bigger, powersaving features, and working.

TCL 50 inch 4K

Before that I had a 42 inch Insignia Plasma HD TV that about two years ago broke. Had that TV for 14 years and it was decent.

“82” Samsung 4K tv. It was $4,000+ but worth the price. Use it for my XSX and watching the news for most of my television viewing I get.

Completely agree.

My main TV is a 75" 4K and while impressive, it wasn't quite the game changer SD to HD was.

Otherwise, I still game on a 1080p 60hz 27" computer monitor.

A Gigabyte FV43U. 144Hz VA 43" 4K Panel with Freesync Premium Pro. It's also in very much a normal PC desktop setup so it takes up ALL my viewing when playing games. It's great :D.

Overall happy with it but it doesn't tick all the boxes.

  • The HDR in it is poor due to a lack of dimming zones.
  • It's a VA panel so also has the problem of slow pixel response times. The overdrive generally does a solid job of hiding it but some artifacts do pop up when playing games.
  • The internal speakers are absolute rubbish. Thankfully it has audio jacks for external speakers.
  • The firmware is a bit janky. The panel

It's still a nice upgrade from my previous screen though. Freesync is very nice to have and the image quality is better overall than my old screen.

I use a 27" Acer monitor with a 165Hz refresh rate for gaming because I like to play shooters. The high refresh rate delivers a smooth and crisp graphical experience, which is critical for fast-paced and dynamic games. It helps me react faster and enjoy games to the fullest.

For gaming, it's best to use a TV or monitor with low input lag, high refresh rate (at least 120Hz), and good resolution (preferably 4K for clear visuals). Monitors with features like G-Sync or FreeSync are great for smoother gameplay. For professionals like a UI UX designer, a monitor with accurate color representation is important for design work, but gaming monitors can also offer an enjoyable gaming experience with fast response times and sharp visuals.

Same 42" LG LED I've used since 2011. I should probably get something faster since I'm playing Street Fighter competitively again, but it's serving me really well for what it is.
