From movies and music to streaming and gaming, let's talk TV, tech and home entertainment!
Gaming TVs have come a long way. Features that were once reserved for premium flagship models - like 120Hz refresh rates, HDMI 2.1 connectivity, Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), Mini LED backlighting and OLED displays - are now more accessible than ever.
To update this guide for 2026, we've looked at our current best-selling Gaming TVs and identified the models our shoppers are choosing most. Whether you're chasing ultra-fast competitive gameplay, cinematic single-player adventures, a massive screen for multiplayer sessions, or a versatile all-rounder for gaming and streaming, these are the Gaming TVs worth considering this year.
Many of this year's top sellers come from the LG QNED86B, LG OLED B6 and Hisense U7S ranges. Rather than repeating the same specifications across different screen sizes, we've focused on the gaming experiences each range delivers and who they're best suited for.

Best for: Gamers who want premium performance without jumping to OLED pricing
If there was one TV that best represents the sweet spot between gaming performance, picture quality and value in 2026, it would be the LG QNED86B.
Powered by LG's Alpha 8 AI Processor 4K Gen3, the QNED86B combines Mini LED backlighting, Dynamic QNED Colour Pro technology and a native 120Hz refresh rate to deliver an incredibly responsive gaming experience. Fast-moving action remains smooth and detailed, while vibrant colours and impressive brightness help games look fantastic in both dark gaming rooms and bright Australian living spaces.
The addition of four HDMI 2.1 ports means you're ready for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and gaming PCs alike, while VRR support helps keep gameplay fluid when frame rates fluctuate.
What makes the QNED86B particularly appealing is its flexibility. Whether you choose the 55", 65", 75" or huge 86" version, you're getting the same gaming-focused technology and AI-powered picture processing across the entire range.

Best for: Smaller gaming spaces and PC gamers
Not every gaming setup revolves around a huge lounge room display.
For bedroom gamers, apartment living, gaming dens or even PC gamers looking for a large-format display, the 48-inch OLED B6 is arguably one of the most exciting Gaming TVs in this year's lineup.
OLED technology delivers what many gamers consider the gold standard for picture quality. Because every pixel is self-emitting, black areas of the screen are genuinely black rather than illuminated by a backlight. The result is exceptional contrast, incredible detail in dark scenes and stunning image depth.
Combined with a 120Hz refresh rate, HDMI 2.1 support, VRR compatibility and ultra-low input lag, the OLED B6 feels incredibly responsive whether you're playing competitive shooters or exploring open-world adventures.

Best for: RPGs, open-world adventures and story-driven gaming
Some games deserve more than just a fast screen.
Whether you're exploring vast fantasy worlds, diving into story-driven adventures or experiencing the latest blockbuster releases, the OLED B6 creates a genuinely cinematic experience.
The combination of Perfect Black OLED technology, Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos helps bring every environment to life with extraordinary depth, contrast and realism. Dark caves, neon-lit cities and dramatic cinematic cutscenes all benefit from OLED's ability to control every individual pixel independently.
The 65-inch model strikes a particularly strong balance between immersion and practicality, making it one of the most popular choices for dedicated gaming rooms and lounge room setups alike.

Best for: Fast-paced multiplayer gaming and esports
If your focus is performance first, the Hisense U7S makes a compelling case for being the ultimate gaming TV in this year's list.
Its headline feature is the Native 165Hz Game Mode, delivering an incredibly smooth experience for competitive gaming. Combined with VRR, Auto Low Latency Mode and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, gameplay remains fluid, responsive and free from distracting tearing or stutter.
The gaming credentials don't stop there. Hisense also includes Game Bar controls, four HDMI 2.1 ports and a powerful Hi-View AI Engine Pro that continuously optimises picture quality in real time.
With up to 3,000 nits peak brightness and Anti-Reflection technology, the U7S also performs exceptionally well in bright rooms where many gaming TVs can struggle.

Best for: Massive lounge rooms, multiplayer gaming and home entertainment
Sometimes bigger really is better.
The largest model in the QNED86B family transforms gaming into a true event experience. Get the co-ops out, your favourite family console racers or the boot up your 4k movie collection. Whatever your preference, this 86-inch display creates a level of immersion that's difficult to replicate on smaller screens.
Importantly, you're not sacrificing gaming performance to get that size. The same Mini LED backlighting, Dynamic QNED Colour Pro technology, Alpha 8 AI Processor and 120Hz refresh rate found throughout the range are all present here too.
The result is a TV that feels every bit as responsive as its smaller siblings while delivering an experience that feels genuinely larger than life.

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.
If none of these TVs quite match your style of play, explore the full Gaming TVs range at Appliances Online. From OLED elegance to Mini-LED muscle, there’s something for every gamer and every lounge room.
