    Frequently asked questions

    Is a 120Hz TV worth it for gaming on PS5 or Xbox Series X?

    Yes. A 120Hz panel can display compatible games at up to 120fps, making motion smoother and controls more responsive than a 60Hz TV. Your console, game and HDMI connection must also support 120Hz.

    Do gaming TVs under £650 in the UK support HDMI 2.1?

    Some do, including selected models with HDMI 2.1 features such as 4K at 120Hz, VRR and ALLM. Check the exact port specifications, as not every HDMI input may offer the full feature set.

    Is QLED or LED better for gaming in a bright room?

    QLED TVs generally offer higher brightness and stronger colour volume than standard LED models, which can help in rooms with daylight. OLED delivers deeper blacks and excellent contrast, but its lower peak brightness on some models may suit darker rooms better.

    What HDR formats should a gaming TV support?

    HDR10 is widely supported by consoles and games, while Dolby Vision can improve compatible content on Xbox and streaming services. HLG is useful for broadcast content, so support for all three gives your TV greater flexibility.
