A great gaming TV needs 4K at 120Hz, VRR, low input lag, and enough HDMI 2.1 ports for your consoles. These are the best gaming TVs you can buy new on Amazon, picked from lab test results, from a premium QD-OLED to a budget Mini LED.
The best gaming TV is the Samsung S95F OLED (about $2,200 for 65 inches): four HDMI 2.1 ports at up to 165Hz, near-instant response time, and a matte screen for daytime play.
The LG C6 OLED (about $1,400) gives you nearly the same gaming performance for less. The Hisense U7SG (about $1,000) is the best value, and the TCL QM6K (about $600) is the budget pick.

| TCL QM6K | 144Hz (288Hz at 1080p) | 2 | Budget | ~$600 |
Our picks follow RTINGS' lab testing of gaming TVs, limited to models you can buy new on Amazon. RTINGS' top pick, the 2026 Samsung S95H, isn't reliably available there yet, so its predecessor, the S95F, takes its place. It has the same 165Hz panel, four HDMI 2.1 ports, and matte anti-glare screen. All four TVs support 4K at 120Hz and VRR on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
The most complete gaming TV you can buy on Amazon. Its QD-OLED panel delivers inky blacks and incredibly vivid color, so HDR games look spectacular, and its matte screen all but eliminates reflections, so you can play during the day without glare. Four HDMI 2.1 ports run 4K at up to 165Hz with VRR, motion is crystal clear, and input lag is very low.
Worth knowing: Samsung doesn't support Dolby Vision, which matters only to the few Xbox games that use it. Blacks look a little gray in a very bright room.

You get the same four HDMI 2.1 ports with 4K at up to 165Hz, support for all three VRR formats (G-SYNC, FreeSync, and HDMI Forum VRR), crystal-clear motion, and very low input lag. Its blacks stay deeper than the Samsung's with the lights on, and it supports Dolby Vision gaming on Xbox.
Worth knowing: colors aren't quite as vivid as on a QD-OLED, and reflections are more noticeable with a lamp or window facing the screen.

Its gaming features match or beat the OLEDs: four HDMI 2.1 ports, 4K at up to 165Hz, VRR, and a 1080p mode that runs at up to 330Hz for competitive PC players. It gets very bright, its matte screen handles glare well, and it supports both Dolby Vision and HDR10+.
Worth knowing: its response time is slower than an OLED's, so fast games show a bit more motion blur, and you'll see some haloing around bright details in a dark room.

Input lag is low, motion blur is about the same as the Hisense, and it supports VRR, 4K at up to 144Hz, and 1080p at up to 288Hz. Local dimming keeps blacks bold, and it's bright enough to handle overhead lights.
Worth knowing: only two of its HDMI ports are HDMI 2.1, which is fine for one or two consoles. HDR is too dim for bright highlights to really pop.

The risk goes up if you play one game with a bright, static HUD for many hours every day. If that's you, a Mini LED like the U7SG can't burn in at all. Our guide to OLED vs QLED vs Mini LED covers the trade-offs.
