Having a good Smart TV is vital in order to get the most out of your console. Either because you bet on Sony, Microsoft or Nintendo, it is true that if you do not have a television up to expectations, you will not be able to enjoy a full experience.
And, the large number of options to take into account when buying a Smart TV to play , are really great. And no, not only size matters. You have to take into account other factors, such as the type of panel you want to have, technologies necessary to play in better quality …
Don’t worry, to make things easy for you, we have made a compilation with ten large-format Smart TVs, with 65 or more inches, which are ideal to use with your video game console.
A 4K Smart TV is a must
To start, keep in mind that, if you are looking for a Smart TV to use with your console, the TV must be UHD yes or yes. It is true that the Nintendo Switch offers 1080p resolution, but in the case of the PS4 or Xbox One, there are more and more titles that support 4K at 60 frames per second.
And then there are the next-gen consoles. This Christmas campaign we will have two great protagonists in the video game sector: the arrival of the PS5 and the Xbox Series X. Two weight consoles and whose main exponent is 4K. So, if you also take into account that a Smart TV has an average useful life of at least five years, it is clear that it is not worth buying a Full HD model. Another element that should not be missing is support for high dynamic range.
The latest titles have the HDR standard to improve image quality. Not to mention the large amount of content available on on-demand content platforms such as Netflix or Amazon Prime Video that support this format.
Therefore, it is quite important that your TV is compatible. Ideally, at the very least, any smart gaming TV worth its salt is compatible with HDR10. This technology offers dynamic metadata, or what is the same, is capable of adjusting the lighting in real time, achieving high results.
OLED or LCD?
Regarding the size of the screen, it is clear that the larger the television, the better experience you will have. But then there is another element to take into account: the technology of the panel.
The war between OLED and LCD solutions is and will be eternal. Mainly because each of these technologies has its advantages and disadvantages. With respect to OLED panels, thanks to having their own lighting, they achieve much purer blacks (that part of the panel simply does not turn on to achieve a perfect result).
Not to mention the fact that OLED panels have perfect viewing angles , so regardless of where you sit on the couch, you will always see the contents clearly and without annoying reflections. In return, LCD screens are much cheaper, in addition to achieving a much higher level of brightness, since they have an LED panel that takes care of it in exchange for losing those perfect blacks.
The difference in this aspect is that an OLED Smart TV cannot be displayed correctly in a bright environment , while an LCD panel can. And then there are burns and retentions. You cannot leave a fixed image for many hours on any OLED TV, as it could be marked on the panel.
If you are not sure, we can guarantee that both solutions will not disappoint you . Of course, if you are going to use your television with enough natural light, or you are simply going to be using it regularly to watch traditional television, better bet on an LCD solution.
More than anything, because in an OLED solution the logo of the television station you are watching could end up being marked. In any case, we have chosen LCD and OLED models so that you can find the solution that best suits your needs. Let’s see what are the best options to consider.
