I use a 50" Seiki 4K Smart tv. It allows me to play my Xbox games in 4K; that's the reason I bought it. My old tv was a piece of crap. What kind of TV/Monitor do you guys use for gaming?

Samsung 65 UHD; got it this winter.

I would usually not bother getting 4K televisions, as I don't honestly notice the picture quality differences. But my old one died out so I was long overdue the upgrade. & wanted to see what the fuss was about. I still don't really see a difference, but the screen itself is light and saves electricity by comparison to my older one.

@RSM-HQ: did you notice any improvements? I am not familiar with samsung but if its capable for good HDR mapping then you will definitely see a very good difference compared to older tvs. Colors just pop more. Also much more fragile modern tvs dont last long :/.

85" SONY X900H. It was the TV suggested and made for the PS5. I use it for all my games even though I know I'm at a disadvantage with that large of a screen in multiplayer games I don't care. One day I'll probably try playing on a home theater...

@sakaixx: The 65 UHD Samsung is the one I got recommended from a trusted source, the quality is considered good but not the best as it is a few years old now. For me more important is Samsung smart television last a long time (apparently)

For the color, or vibrate picture; find it's usually due to customers leaving the image as default. I always play with the settings to fit my preference. But not really notice it being any better in particular.

Prior had a 720p HD, the jump to my new 4K UHD just isn't quite the SD to a HD screen some make it out to be. As such for me the image isn't a clear difference. 4K remains more pixels than the eye can notice, it's marketing buzz-wording for those who like to brag about more pixels. I can only assume how stupid a 8K display is.

For me the new screens advantages are it being lighter, bigger, powersaving features, and working.

TCL 50 inch 4K

Before that I had a 42 inch Insignia Plasma HD TV that about two years ago broke. Had that TV for 14 years and it was decent.

“82” Samsung 4K tv. It was $4,000+ but worth the price. Use it for my XSX and watching the news for most of my television viewing I get.

Completely agree.

My main TV is a 75" 4K and while impressive, it wasn't quite the game changer SD to HD was.

Otherwise, I still game on a 1080p 60hz 27" computer monitor.

A Gigabyte FV43U. 144Hz VA 43" 4K Panel with Freesync Premium Pro. It's also in very much a normal PC desktop setup so it takes up ALL my viewing when playing games. It's great :D.

Overall happy with it but it doesn't tick all the boxes.

  • The HDR in it is poor due to a lack of dimming zones.
  • It's a VA panel so also has the problem of slow pixel response times. The overdrive generally does a solid job of hiding it but some artifacts do pop up when playing games.
  • The internal speakers are absolute rubbish. Thankfully it has audio jacks for external speakers.
  • The firmware is a bit janky. The panel

It's still a nice upgrade from my previous screen though. Freesync is very nice to have and the image quality is better overall than my old screen.
