Most of the time, the best TVs for gaming are the best TVs you can buy, period. That said, there are a few key features to prioritize when picking out a big screen for your PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X. While nobody needs a fancy TV to just enjoy a video game, the right set can help you maximize your experience. If you're not sure where to begin, we've laid out some helpful advice for finding something good and researched a few well-reviewed gaming TVs that should suit your needs today. Whether you use it for gaming or not, all good TVs are built on the same foundations. You want a 4K resolution, high-enough brightness to overcome glare and make HDR content pop, a relatively high contrast ratio with deep and uniform black tones, colors that find the right balance between accuracy and saturation and wide viewing angles. For video games specifically, you want a TV with minimal input lag and fast motion response, with no blur or other unwanted artifacts behind quick-moving objects.

Although it might seem as though TVs are growing in size, good things still come in small packages. Plenty of manufacturers still support smaller TVs--models that range in size from 32-inches to 43-inches. These TVs can be the perfect fit for smaller living rooms or for bedrooms, guest rooms, and dorm rooms. While 65-inch TVs are more glamorous and 55-inch TVs are the most popular television size, the best 40-inch TVs can deliver great performance and desired features. There are plenty of cheap TVs out there that don't stand up, however.

Finding a suitable TV for your PlayStation or Xbox used to require a careful look at spec sheets.

If you're unsure of where to start, we've laid out some helpful advice for buying the right model below, along with a few recommendations for the best gaming TVs you can buy today. Whether you use it for gaming or not, all good TVs are built on the same foundations.

LG says OLED TVs will comprise 20 percent of the company's high-end TV portfolio in 2019, with the world's first 8K OLED (model 88Z9) and the 65-inch roll-up 4K OLED (model 65R9) joining its W-, E-, and C-series 4K models. There are 14 new models in the company's LED-backlit LCD series--the Nanocell line--in screen sizes ranging from 49 to 86 inches. New LG TVs will get a mid-year upgrade that will add Amazon Alexa support to the existing support for Google Assistant. Samsung doesn't have an answer to LG's eye-popping roll-up OLED, but it will offer 8K QLED TVs--the Q900 series--in screen sizes ranging from 65 inches to an eye-popping 98 inches. The company's 4K quantum-dot TVs (the Q60, Q70, Q80, and Q90 series) are available in screen sizes ranging from 43 to 82 inches.

Perhaps the most important choice you need to make is your preferred software: Just like phones and laptops, streaming devices have their own operating systems. So you should choose a platform that fits two criteria: It must play your favorite content and work well with the devices you already own. For example, if you want to watch shows and movies purchased from iTunes, then you need the only device capable of working with that software: the 4K Apple TV ($150 and up on Amazon). If you're all-in on the Apple ecosystem--you rely on a Mac computer or an iPhone--then you'll want this option. Android users, on the other hand, should lean toward devices, such as the 4K Nvidia Shield ($180 and up on Amazon), that run the Android TV operating system. This works best with Android-based video apps, everything from YouTube to Plex, although it can't play your iTunes content.
