WHAT IS THE BEST TV AND MONITOR FOR GAMING?

Unread post by AHE »

HDMI 2.1-enabled TVs that support gaming have implemented Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) and Auto Low latency Mode (ALLM).

VRR has been associated only with G-Sync and FreeSync but now with HDMI VRR-enabled TVs, monitors, graphics cards and gaming consoles, the benefits of VRR are more widely available. VRR reduces or eliminates lag, judder and frame tearing for more fluid and better detailed gameplay. VRR enables a gaming source such as a console or computer to deliver video frames as fast as it can, which in many cases is slower than the normal static refresh rate.

HDMI 2.1 also supports 8K@60Hz and 4K@120Hz, both of which are available in the market. Many TV manufacturers have launched 4K@120Hz TVs along with VRR and ALLM and are ready for advanced gaming right now. They also can support both static and dynamic HDR for enhanced game details with extended contrast range and expanded color spaces.

And don’t forget that audio is part of the complete gaming experience. HDMI 2.1 brings Enhanced Audio Return Channel (eARC) which supports up to 192kHz, 24-bit audio including support for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. Many TVs have launched with eARC as have AVRs and soundbars, and several games support those advanced audio formats.

What’s the best HDMI cable for gaming? To make sure all the new HDMI 2.1 gaming features are supported you need the new Ultra High Speed HDMI® cable that supports all HDMI 2.1 features including 48Gbps bandwidth. Certified cables are required to display the Ultra High Speed HDMI® Certification Label so make sure you see that before purchasing.
