Gaming helps you to escape the world of reality in a land of adventure, adrenaline and thrill-seeking missions, all from the comfort of your own home. But, as we have reached the golden age of digital technology, you need a device that can enhance these experiences for that complete immersive experience.
With both Sony and Microsoft embracing the technology of 4K with the Xbox series X and the PlayStation 5, making sure you have a suitable TV is essential to utilise the capabilities of these high-functioning consoles.
The Ultimate Gaming Combo
When it comes to incredible audio, Sony is well known for taking the lead, but add in the incredible visuals and the powerful smart features, and then you have a TV designed for immersive experiences. The Sony Bravia XR 4K HDR Google Smart OLED uses Cognitive Processor XR to provide lifelike visual and audio components, applying the correct depth of colour, true to the human eye, giving incredible contrasts and vivid colours.
With the Bravia XR providing 4K/120fps as specified in HDMI 2.1, this TV will offer a smooth and clear movement for responsive gameplay. Working alongside the PlayStation 5, it automatically adjusts and optimises the picture regardless of whether you are watching a film or mid gaming session with Auto Genre Picture Mode. The settings will adapt accordingly depending on your current requirements. In addition, the Auto HDR Tone Mapping on the PlayStation 5 allows the device to recognise the Bravia XR TV and select the best settings for your TV without prompt. Combined, these two devices make for the ultimate gaming experience.
While the price of these devices varies, with our cheap LED TV deals, you can afford to team up your console with a Sony Bravia XR TV for a lot less than other retailers.
Gaming in 4K on a Budget
We pride ourselves in offering some of the cheapest smart TVs online, but when it comes to gaming, you need to be sure that the TV price is appealing whilst still performing well with your console.
Known for excellence and affordability, Hisense seems to dominate the market for budget TVs. With a Hisense 4K Ultra HDR Smart LED TV, you can see every detail much clearer thanks to the four times more pixels than you would in a full HD. Blacks are much darker, and the whites are brighter, allowing for better contrast in the colours and a more detailed visual experience. The DTS Virtual technology helps to automatically recognise dialogue from background sound, providing a more crisp and immersive experience.
While the refresh rate is 60Hz, it supports HDR10, which is compatible with most gaming consoles, including the Xbox series X and PlayStation 4 and 5. Unfortunately, whilst it can support OLED, the Nintendo Switch hasn’t yet embraced HDR10 or any of the more advanced visual or audio technology available.
Best TV for Casual Gamers
Although the gaming industry is worth far greater than the likes of television and movie, gaming is a pastime rather than a passion for a few. For this reason, you will more likely require cheap TV deals for a more all-rounder TV. If you are looking to find a TV that will adapt well to your gaming and provide well for general TV viewing experience, a Samsung QLED 4k HDR Smart TV would be the perfect device for you. Thanks to the quantum dot, the display offers brilliant depth and enhancing abilities. With excellent smart features you would expect from Samsung, it has a built-in Amazon Assistant with the ability to link to other smart devices and home assistants.
Other features include a PC connectivity allowing you to work from home on an even bigger screen, free TV exclusive to Samsung and a range of components to help you with your well being with exclusive workout videos and apps to track progress.
This device offers Auto Low Latency Mode for gaming. This technology means you will never get frustrated by “lagging” again, providing smooth gameplay and high refresh rates for an optimum gaming experience. The Motion accelerator also offers a clear motion rate algorithm, which automatically compensates frames, so your picture adapts as quick as your game.
In addition, PC Connectivity can offer PC gamers an even better screen and experience than an average computer monitor could. Making this TV even better for a family or household with multiple gamers.
The Future is More than 4K
At the moment, TVs are well ahead of the game when it comes to technology with 8K already out on the market and has been for some time. However, there is very little content and platforms which support the newest technology.
Still, we are sure it will not be long with the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox series X already testing the waters with content for 8K and having the capability of 8K output.
