What’s the best Gaming TV in 2021? I’m testing the LG G1 — 4K120, OLED, G Sync, FreeSync, HDMI 2.1, VRR, ALLM — but is it the ‘best’ and what should you look for when buying a Gaming TV?

Hey Chaps! What TV are you using at the moment?? (Bonus points if it’s super old & rubbish)! 😛
A Samsung from 2016
I recently got the qn900a 8k it’s a fantastic tv,great colour,brightness, 4 hdmi 2.1,generally amazing tv,I have a bright house so it was the best solution,i am thinking buying the gx for my bedroom 🤔
I’ve been gaming exclusively on an LG CX 48” since last September. It’s basically flawless.
Upgraded from 65″ B7 Oled to 77″ CX. Largest improvement was the greater screen estate.
LG UHD 55Inch 2020 smart tv
Your PS5 without a stand is giving me anxiety.
Imagine having a sleepover at Tom’s House 😁
Got my 55″ G1 for 1440euros with 5year warranty. Cant wait for tomorrow 🙂
*me looking through my screen*
‘Looks great!’
I’ve got the Sony X900H 65’ and it’s simply stunning with PS5…..!
minimal motion blur with the C1? now you’re just being generous 😛
But, by using Motion Pro ‘High’, you get plasma motion, but as expected there’s shadow detail crushing, a huge loss in brightness, subtle flicker and input lag doubles. Great to use when streaming if you set peak brightness to HIGH and max your OLED Light, IF you get the shadow detail crushing corrected via calibration and the inherent black crush.
This will give you Plasma tier motion quality, but with a bit more judder than plasma. G1 has a 10% brightness advantage over the C1 which comes in handy for the method i explained above in order to nail 200 nits in SDR mode.
I think the people who own Sony is retarded for not making on ps5. And they still to this day have made or put more out in stores who does that.
120hz is NOT needed now with Next Gen. There are 0 games running at 120hz. They aren’t even running 60 at 4k,it’s either 30 at 4k or 60 just at or above 1080.
you are wrong. these are the games with 120hz so far on PS5:
Borderlands 3 (PS5)
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War/ Warzone (PS5/PS4)
Destiny 2 (PS5)
Devil May Cry 5: Special Edition (PS5)
DIRT 5 (PS5)
F1 2021 (PS5)
Ghostrunner (PS5)
Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom (PS5)
The Nioh Collection (PS5)
Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Siege (PS5)
Am currently rocking the LG nanocell 86 55inch it’s a very decent TV for what am using it for which is my ps5, also lg needs to enable the VRR for it
they release a update on 6/3/2021 and AMD FreeSync is working. check the LG webpage and download it and manually install it.
@José G Pérez (QSPR) can you please send me the link to it 🙏
Im still in love with my 2019 77 inch c9
Just, Wow.
5:28 dude your ps5 isn’t sitting straight 😭😂
LG NANOCELL 48’ 85 series for my son
LG CX OLED 55’ for my wife & I
LG CX OLED 65’ for my living room
LG family over here… might wait for next years OLED’s. The LG C2 OLED maybe 🤔😂
If you’re a real gamer… you don’t game on a tv.
Dude how’s that the best tv? The LG CX is better
Thank you for this again nice video. I personally use a Samsung QN900A 65″ (not enough space between some furniture for a bigger one), with Sennheiser Ambeo soundbar plus audio pro subwoofer, Xbox Series X, Sony UHD Blueray player. It’s in a bright 🌞 living room and performs very well during daytime, when not darken the room. But it’s astonishing close to OLED in the dark.
4:03 oh no.
I’ll stick to my LG cx
Still rocking with my c9 for the series x and ps5
Looking at this really makes my tv looks very old lol…I’m not really sure what’s the model name of my tv, but it’s from Panasonic… I bought it in 2012 with a 1080p plasma screen
OLeDs have good pictures but ya gotta babysit em, especially when gaming & when ya don’t Burn in is imminent
Oleds have pixel refresh, and screensavers etc to prevent it
I’m using the LG CX 65 inch. outstanding TV from last year with all the specs. I love OLED, never go back to VA panel.
Nice review.
I am using a 27inch CRT TV from 2007 or something
Well done, Tech Chap. I remember when you used to «apologize» for your voice or for the video being too long. What a longs way you have come. Your reviews are professional and a pleasure to view.
Cheers Rob!
Everybody always say 8K is a waste of time don’t get it it’s a waste of money right now you can get the q800t 65-in 8K model for $2,000 and it’s the 2020 model again it’s always your own choice I game on the Samsung’s q800t 82 in 8K and I love it
Well this is crazy the camera you’re using to record this is Crystal clear
Thanks! a7S iii
When is the 42″ one releasing?
Heya Tom! Is there any chance of a review of the new Dell XPS 15 and 17 with 11th gen Intel ?? As always great work!
Yep — I ordered them yesterday
Can’t wait 😁 ty!!
Im desperate to renew my tv. This model and the c1 are on my choices. I hope I can finally get a chance for it.
I’m currently gaming on a 27″ monitor due to space constrains 🙁
Once I move to a new place, I’m planning on getting the C1, though I’m not sure what are the burn in risk as I’ll mostly use it for gaming and sports.
But it’s not perfect for my wallet
samsung tv review plss??
Deep blacks
Better than the Sony A90J?
I am using a sony tv is it still good
Love the presentation and very clear review
Would be interested to see how the QN90A compares
I hate the ps5 console design. I thought it was going to grow on me but it didn’t.
Hi Tom great video. A couple of questions if I can be so bold. So I too have a ps5 with a Sonos arc (only the arc for the time being sub incoming soon) but any recommendations on how the ps5 should be best setup to utilise the Sonos arc? I’ve read all sorts of differing information regarding formats etc. Recently started playing Last of us part 2 and the sound sync issues are rather alarming. Not sure if my settings are correct or not. Any advice or support would be greatly appreciated. Keep up the good work!
I’ve not had much trouble with just plug and play. Make sure the Sonos is plugged into the eARC hdmi (if you have one). You can also adjust sound sync issues in the Sonos app.
So the only difference between this and the c1 is you can’t mount it…
«Perfect for *your* PS5» is this a joke lol there is no «my» PS5 for 9 months now
The hot rod of TV’s
Nice video
I picked up the 65 inch LG CX for £1500 on Easter sale, I think it was such a good deal not to miss out on
Great video, I was debating on the C1 and G1, both are really good but went for the C1.
I have a ps5 and I’m still using my 2015 Samsung js9000 65” 😂😂😂
Hey, you forgot to say «coffee — check!» At the beginning of the video.
And where’s your beard??
Too hot for beards 😅
🤘👍👍👍👍
i will love to see the same enthusiasm for non-oled tv’s. I dont like oled because of all the stress involved in avoiding burn in. I am a trader ; bloomberg or CNBC is always on. Did i hear something like someone bought a detached house? Music to my ears. you deserve it. oh if i heard wrong well….. congrats on the move still.
Amazing 😁
Costs more than I mostly earns in a year
Is there a big difference between mi 10 Sienna and I will 10 t pro , camera is my second priority , I’m a big fan of you I like your activities and your response means a lot to me
Lg bx just got it yesterday for 880 love it
Hi Tom, great video! I’ve been considering the CX and now C1 for an upgrade to my gaming setup, in which I’ll merge my gaming PC arrangement with my console one to get the most use of the screen. I wanted to ask what you think is a suitable desk size for the tv to be used as a PC gaming monitor, or what you would recommend as a suitable viewing distance. my intention is to have the screen wall mounted too.
P.S. thanks for the heads up on the BlackFriday deals, I’ll probably hold off until then to purchase 🙂
Currently using a 66″ LG OLED from 2018 and picture wise it’s still amazing. I keep thinking about upgrading but honestly, no need yet as it just looks fantastic. Agree that RE Village was definitely meant for OLED
Where can I find the wallpaper?? 7:20
Wishing you good luck with your new house-may god make all your journey in your life a little bit more smoother cuz you are simply a gem in this tech world and you deserve it-you deserve more subscribers-eitherway great content like always, thank you so much for sharing😍🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂.
Are you playing with the hue sync box on? Does it affect the performance or picture quality?
Is the surround lighting aftermarket?
How much better is this then the c1? Im kinda low on budget should i save for a g1 or is the c1 a winner too?
