The Xbox Series X can run games in 4K at 120 frames per second, with VRR and Dolby Vision, but only if your TV keeps up. These four TVs, chosen from RTINGS' lab tests and sold on Amazon, get the most from the console at every budget.

The short answer

The best TV for Xbox Series X is the Samsung S95F OLED ($2,197.95 at 65"): perfect blacks, a bright matte screen, and four HDMI 2.1 ports with VRR and extremely low input lag.

For Dolby Vision gaming, get the LG C6 OLED (~$1,400). The Hisense U7SG (~$1,000) is the best mid-range pick for bright rooms, and the TCL QM6K (~$600) is the best budget choice.

What an Xbox Series X actually needs from a TV

Every TV below has HDMI 2.1, VRR, ALLM, and low input lag. Our picks follow RTINGS' lab testing (its Xbox Series X list was updated in October 2026), limited to TVs sold new on Amazon. RTINGS' top pick, Samsung's 2026 S95H, isn't sold there, so we chose the model it replaced. Prices and ratings are Amazon's for the 65-inch size; every pick comes in other sizes too.

Samsung S95F OLED
4.3 / 5 (281 Amazon ratings) · The predecessor of RTINGS' top Xbox pick, the S95H

The most impressive Xbox picture you can buy on Amazon. The QD-OLED panel has perfect blacks and exceptionally bright, saturated color, so Auto HDR and native HDR games pop. Its matte "Glare Free" screen keeps dark scenes visible in a bright room. All four HDMI ports are full HDMI 2.1, with VRR, extremely low input lag, and nearly instant pixel response for crisp motion.

Worth knowing: Samsung doesn't support Dolby Vision, so Xbox games that offer Dolby Vision fall back to standard HDR10. That's less of a loss than it sounds (see below). It's also the most expensive pick.

Best for Dolby Vision gaming~$1,400 (65")
LG C6 OLED
4.1 / 5 (142 Amazon ratings) · RTINGS' upper mid-range Xbox pick

The natural partner for an Xbox. It's the only OLED here that supports Dolby Vision, including Dolby Vision gaming at 4K and 120Hz, the format Microsoft's console is the only one to support. Four HDMI 2.1 ports, VRR, very low input lag, and OLED's instant response make fast shooters and racing games look clean. It also handles Dolby Vision movies from the Xbox's streaming apps.

Worth knowing: the glossy screen reflects lamps and windows, so it's happiest in a dim or moderately lit room. The 77- and 83-inch sizes are the brighter C6H.

Best mid-range~$1,000 (65")
Hisense U7SG
4.4 / 5 (447 Amazon ratings) · RTINGS' mid-range Xbox pick

Big, bright Xbox gaming without OLED prices. All four HDMI ports support full HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, so an Xbox, a PS5, and a receiver can all have one, and it runs 4K at up to 165Hz with VRR and low input lag. It supports Dolby Vision and HDR10+, and its matte screen and high brightness make it the best pick for a sunny game room.

Worth knowing: motion isn't as crisp as on the OLEDs, and you'll see some glow around bright objects in a dark room.

Best budget~$600 (65")
TCL QM6K
4.3 / 5 (2,052 Amazon ratings) · RTINGS' budget Xbox pick

The cheapest way to get everything the Series X can do on a big screen. Two HDMI 2.1 ports handle 4K at up to 144Hz with VRR, input lag is as low as the Hisense's, and it supports Dolby Vision. Local dimming gives it much deeper blacks than most TVs at this price.

Worth knowing: there's more glow around bright objects than on the Hisense, and it handles daytime glare less well, so it's best for evening gaming. With only two HDMI 2.1 ports, a second console or a receiver may have to share.

Does Dolby Vision gaming matter?

The Xbox Series X and Series S are the only consoles that support Dolby Vision for games, which is why it comes up in every Xbox TV discussion. In practice, it matters less than you might think. Only a limited number of games use it, and RTINGS notes that for most games, HDR10 with HGIG enabled (a setting that lets the console, rather than the TV, handle HDR tone mapping) looks as good or better.

So Dolby Vision is a nice bonus, not a dealbreaker. If you also watch a lot of Dolby Vision movies, the LG C6, Hisense U7SG, or TCL QM6K covers both. If you want the best picture overall and don't care about the format, the Samsung S95F is still our top pick. For more on how panel types differ, see OLED vs. QLED vs. Mini LED.

Xbox settings to change on day one

  1. Plug the Xbox into an HDMI 2.1 port. On TVs with only two, like the TCL, they're labeled 4K@120Hz or 144Hz.
  2. Turn on the TV's enhanced HDMI mode for that port (Input Signal Plus on Samsung, HDMI Ultra HD Deep Colour on LG, Enhanced/Mode 2 on Hisense and TCL). Without it, 4K120 and HDR won't work.
  3. On the Xbox, open Settings > General > TV & display options. Set resolution to 4K UHD and refresh rate to 120Hz, then under Video modes, turn on Allow 4K, Allow HDR10, Auto HDR, Allow variable refresh rate, and Allow Auto Low-Latency Mode. Allow Dolby Vision for gaming appears there on TVs that support it.
  4. Turn on HGIG in the TV's game HDR settings if it has one, then run the Xbox HDR Game Calibration app so HDR games hit your TV's real brightness limits.
  5. Set audio to bitstream under Settings > General > Volume & audio output if you use a soundbar or receiver over eARC, and choose Dolby Atmos for home theater if your system supports it.

What about the Xbox Series S?

The Series S renders most games at 1440p or lower and upscales them, so you don't need a flagship TV to get the most from it. Any of our picks will do, and the TCL QM6K is the obvious match at its price. If your TV accepts a 1440p signal, choose 1440p under TV & display options for sharper results in some games than the console's 4K upscaling.

Using a soundbar or AV receiver

The easiest setup is to plug the Xbox straight into the TV and send sound to your soundbar or receiver over HDMI eARC. That keeps 4K120 and VRR working even if your audio gear can't pass them through. Our guide to ARC vs. eARC explains why eARC matters for Dolby Atmos. If you route the Xbox through a receiver instead, it needs HDMI 2.1 passthrough with 4K120 and VRR; see our best receivers for gaming. Either way, use a certified Ultra High Speed cable; see our HDMI 2.1 cable picks.

Also have a PlayStation? Our best TVs for PS5 has the PS5-specific settings, and our best gaming TVs covers PC gaming at 144Hz and above.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best TV for Xbox Series X?
The Samsung S95F OLED is the best TV for Xbox Series X that you can buy on Amazon, with perfect blacks, a bright anti-glare screen, and four HDMI 2.1 ports supporting 4K at 120Hz and VRR. If you want Dolby Vision gaming, the LG C6 OLED is the better choice.
Does the Xbox Series X support Dolby Vision?
Yes. The Xbox Series X and Series S are the only consoles that support Dolby Vision for gaming, at up to 4K and 120Hz on compatible TVs like the LG C6, Hisense U7SG, and TCL QM6K. Only a limited number of games use it, and HDR10 with HGIG often looks just as good.
Do I need HDMI 2.1 for Xbox Series X?
You need HDMI 2.1 to play at 4K and 120Hz. On an HDMI 2.0 TV, the Xbox still plays at 4K and 60Hz, or 1440p or 1080p at 120Hz on some TVs. Every TV on our list has HDMI 2.1.
Is OLED or Mini LED better for Xbox?
OLED gives perfect blacks and the clearest motion, which suits dark-room gaming. Mini LED TVs like the Hisense U7SG get brighter and handle glare better in a sunny room, and they cost less at large sizes. Neither has meaningful burn-in risk for typical gaming use with varied content.
What TV settings should I change for Xbox Series X?
Plug the Xbox into an HDMI 2.1 port, turn on the TV's enhanced HDMI mode for that port, and enable 4K, 120Hz, VRR, and Auto Low-Latency Mode in the Xbox's TV and display options. Then turn on HGIG and run the Xbox HDR Game Calibration app.
