It's a case of seeing is believing with the LG OLED G5, and having sat in front of it, the T3 team can safely say this is one of the TVs of the year. You get a simply great picture from any source you like – including of course, the Xbox Series X console.

Gamers are going to be particularly interested in the four HDMI 2.1 ports that are capable of serving up 4K/120Hz and 1440p/165Hz resolutions. Whatever you need for your Xbox Series X sessions, whether it's top-notch HDR brightness or super-low latency, this is a television that's able to serve it up.

And of course the LG OLED G5 is a fantastic proposition away from gaming too. The OLED panel provides superb black levels and vibrant colours, and low light conditions and screen glare are both handled well. It's a TV with very few faults.

The Samsung S95F is a fine companion to the Xbox Series X if you're prepared to spend whatever it takes for your TV upgrade: it's a model that's so special it was just named as the best gaming TV at the T3 Awards 2025.

It's really difficult to find anything to complain about in what is an all-round stunner of a set. It's simply packed with gaming features, including four HDMI 2.1 ports that can run content at resolutions up to 4K and refresh rates up to 165Hz, and it's one of the most responsive and bright panels we've had the pleasure of playing games on.

Samsung's QD-OLED tech has continued to get better, year on year, and in general use it handles contrast, colour, and HDR supremely well. Even the integrated sound and the on-board software are very well done.

All the specs and details you need to know about are in our Samsung S95F review, a full look at this model.

On-board sound is routine

You can still get yourself a brilliant TV to hook up to your Xbox Series X without paying over the odds, because the Amazon Fire TV Omni Mini-LED 4K TV is cheaper than a lot of its competitors, while still delivering a top-quality picture.

The set makes use of Mini-LED technology that improves on the standard LED backlighting by bringing sharper and more precise illumination, and here that results in a television that impresses in terms of brightness, colour, sharpness, contrast and motion handling – it really does tick all the necessary boxes.

There's the all-important 4K/120Hz HDMI 2.1 support on two of the four input ports here, and when you're not gaming, you've got the very capable Fire TV OS software to handle all of your video streaming apps as well.

Learn more about this set through our Amazon Fire TV Omni Mini-LED 4K TV review, which includes all the details you need to know.

Key features explained

HDMI 2.1: This is the latest version of the connection tech. It looks just like older HDMI ports, but can handle 4K 120Hz, VRR and ALLM – which we'll explain in a moment. Here's our full HDMI 2.1 guide, if you want more info.

4K 120Hz: The Xbox Series X is able to play certain games at 4K resolution at 120 frames per second, which makes things super-clear and responsive. In order to actually see this on your TV, though, your TV needs two things: it has to have a 4K screen capable of refreshing at 120Hz (120 times per sbext econd), and it has to have an HDMI 2.1 connector, because it's too much data for older versions of HDMI to handle. We have a more in-depth 4K 120Hz explainer here, if you want to dig in.

VRR (Variable Refresh Rate): This technology enables your console to tell the TV when it should refresh and show a new frame, instead the refresh happening at set regular intervals. This means that games can vary their framerate slightly with their being any weird graphical glitches from the fact that they're out of sync with the TV – which means games can be more flexible with including fancier graphics, or can run at higher framerates than usual. If that seems confusing, here's our full VRR explained guide, including a video.

ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode): This means the Xbox Series X tells the TV to switch into a 'gaming' mode, where less image processing is applied, but it means every frame the Microsoft console creates is shown on the TV screen more quickly – making games more responsive. Again, it's an HDMI 2.1 feature, though TVs without HDMI often support it, or have their own version of it.
