My Cart - 
This year has trumped most for incredible game console releases. First, we had the Xbox Series X, which played hard to get with most gamers, then we had the long-awaited PS5.
It’s worth considering that the games console is only as good as the gamer and how much effort they’ve put into purchasing the right equipment to go with it. This includes everything from your headset and chair and most importantly, having a decent TV to wire it all up into.
If you call yourself a gamer, then chances are- you already know how the specs of your TV can affect your gameplay. But, in case you don’t – here are the best TV features for gaming:
Pick A Gaming TV With Lots Of HDMI Inputs
This is a really basic one, but a TV fit for gaming will have lots of HDMI ports for you to plug your console and any vital accessories into. Though some games consoles don’t require a lot of faffing around with different HDMIs, there’s no harm in having extra in case you need them. Lots of cheap smart TVs come with several HDMI inputs, so you shouldn’t have a problem finding a suitable TV.
Choose A Display Team – OLED or LED?
TVs with OLED technology are one of those controversial topics in the gaming space. Whilst they come with so many perks, there are some downfalls for gamers in particular with this tech. This does depend on whether you’re willing to take the positives with the negatives.
Anyway, we’ll let you decide for yourselves. Here are some of the pros and cons of getting a TV with OLED TV technology:
Pros
• High-contrast imagery looks so much better than on an LED display
• It drops individual pixels so dark/black screen games work well on an OLED
• No backlighting – so your eyes won’t get as tired or dry after hours of gameplay
• No lagging or blurring; this is due to a fast-processing speed, which is usually measured in Hertz (Hz) and affects how quickly images flash up on the screen
• OLED TVs are energy efficient, which is super useful if you are gaming for hours on end and you’re using up lots of electricity
Cons:
• TVs with OLED TV technology are more likely to burn your screen
• OLED TVs are generally more expensive than plasma or LED, especially if you are going for a huge, cinematic type screen. If you want a cheap OLED TV, there is still a good few to choose from.
Go For A TV With 4K Quality
Although having a 4K TV will do nothing to improve the technical side of gameplay, you can rest assured that graphics will be crystal clear and not pixelated in the slightest. Because 4K has been around for a while now, you won’t need to break the bank to purchase one, which is great news when you’re looking to save some money to buy more games! If you’re looking for cheap 4K TVs the Samsung 4K TV is a stellar choice.
Choose A Curved TV
Curved TVs aren’t for everybody – but they aren’t the novelty technology people first thought they’d be either. One of the usually off-putting things about a curved TV is getting used to viewing what’s in the centre of the screen along with the sides, as it plays with your eyesight a little. But, as a gamer, there’s nothing better than being able to have eyes in the back of your head! In case you need other reasons to game using a curved TV, here are a few:
1. Curved TVs reduce stress and strain on your eyesight
2. TVs with a curve offer a more realistic, immersive gaming experience
3. They allow you to view more of the screen (and from different angles)
4. Also, curved TVs work well with 3D
5. You can find plenty of cheap curved TVs these days
Or Try Gaming On A 3D TV
If you’re a gaming enthusiast, the idea of looking at cheap 3D TVs has probably crossed your mind once or twice. And we wouldn’t blame you – it all adds to that immersive experience we all crave when we switch on our PlayStation or Xbox.
3D is especially enticing if you play first-person shooters like Call of Duty or graphic adventure games like The Walking Dead. If you’re into special effects, you might want to look at older models of OLED TVs which also have the 3D feature.
