From movies and music to streaming and gaming, let's talk TV, tech and home entertainment!
TVs and gaming have gone hand-in-hand for decades. From pixelated platformers on chunky CRTs to immersive open worlds in dazzling 4K, the two have evolved side by side - each pushing the other forward. Fast-forward to today, and it's no longer just about plugging in a console - it's about buttery-smooth frame rates, jaw-dropping visuals, and that split-second responsiveness that can make or break a game.
The right TV doesn’t just show your game - it elevates it. And better yet, you don’t need to guess which ones deliver. We’ve handpicked 5 of the best Gaming TVs in 2025, all available right here at Appliances Online.
Each one is loaded with features that make them perfect for gaming, like ultra-fast refresh rates, VRR support, low input lag, and next-gen HDMI 2.1 ports. But more importantly, we’ll break down who each TV is best suited for - whether you're a casual weekend jammer or a hardcore console grinder.

If you’re using a PS5, Xbox Series X, or gaming PC, HDMI 2.1 is a must-have. It supports higher frame rates (like 4K at 120Hz), VRR, and low latency - all essential for top-tier gaming performance.
Absolutely. A 120Hz refresh rate is perfect for most gamers, especially for fast-paced shooters or racing games. If you’re a competitive gamer, TVs with 144Hz or 165Hz (like the Hisense U7QAU) give you an even smoother edge.
OLED offers perfect blacks and ultra-thin designs. QLED delivers bright, vibrant colour at great value. Mini-LED provides deeper contrast and better backlight control, ideal for larger or well-lit rooms.
Yes - these TVs are just as great for Netflix, sports, and everyday viewing. Gaming TVs are simply more responsive and often better equipped for high-quality visuals.
