Best 4K gaming TVs 2020

The card file of games is constantly growing, as is the number of users who play them. If earlier the developers focused on solving a certain number of tasks, then in the current reality the presentation of the product is also appreciated: graphics, realism, etc.

A striking representative of this line is games from the companies "Valve" and "Blizzard Entertainment", which amaze with their graphics and various special effects. After the world tournaments in "Dota 1, 2 ”(difficult game), a series of various massive online games began to appear available to anyone, which borrowed some part from their ancestor.

Unfortunately, it is not always possible to assess the big picture on a computer. The solution to the problem was television monitors that can replace computer monitors. Attention is a review of the best 4K TVs for 2020, suitable for gaming activities.

What are 4K TVs - selection criteria

The Full HD monitor, or as it is also called 4K Ultra High-Definition (4K UHD), is considered the best today. It has a high resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels, which is capable of transmitting an image with active pixels (there are more than 800 million).

It is interesting! 4K appeared in 2005. Compared to 1080 resolution, the common man won't notice the difference at all.

Product Classification - Types of FHD TVs

There are two main categories of technology with this resolution: liquid crystal and plasma panels. The price segment for the latter is very high; not everyone can afford such a purchase. The main difference is that OLED plasmas are large diagonally (from 55 inches), as a rule, curved in shape, which makes it possible to do without creating additional backlighting, which cannot be said about LCD monitors.

Note! Good plasma TVs cost from 300-400 thousand rubles.

Tips for choosing

Some of the important metrics to look out for are brightness and contrast. This is necessary in order to understand how dark or light areas will be visible in games. The values ​​must be selected correctly, as there is no way to adjust them. For gaming, the TV must have at least 250 cd per square meter and a contrast ratio of 900-1000: 1.

On a note! Ideal numerical parameters are 375 cd / m2. and 1000: 1.If the indicators are less than the required values, then the dark areas will merge with each other.

How to choose the right vehicle model? First you need to decide for what purposes the installation will be used: set-top boxes, computers, etc. Using the example of connecting the Xbox One S console, step-by-step actions are taken that will not allow making mistakes when choosing: the presence of parameters: 4K with a resolution of 3840 by 2160 pixels, one of the frequencies: 24/50/60 Hz, support for HDR10 or 10+.

Checking 4K and HDR10 resolutions on a TV requires a series of console-specific actions: Game Settings - All Settings - Screen & Sound - Advanced Video Settings - TV Info.

Matrix selection! It should be noted that HDMI, DVI and VGA are no different except for the price (inexpensive / expensive). The brand line will always install the best in the TV, so you should think about whether it is worth overpaying, and it may be better to look for an alternative. In any case, which company is the best product - the buyer decides.

An important indicator is the transmission of sound. As a rule, this is stereo sound, which can be supplemented with other functions: surround transmission, low frequencies, autonomous sound control or various combinations.

Where is the best place to buy a 4K TV for gaming?

It is better to buy such purchases in official stores. The consultants will clearly show everything, tell you how everything works, what needs to be done, and give advice.

The second point is the warranty card. Official dealers always provide the buyer with a quality guarantee. As well as favorable conditions for the purchase: installments, discounts, etc.

Your doubts, for any model, can be checked virtually: watch video clips where various tests are carried out with a TV; read reviews. In any case, which monitor is better to buy is up to you.
