![]() ![]() adjust its refresh rate in real-time to match the source's output at any given time. Setting up the PC or game console to output in VRR over HDMI tells a compatible TV that it should also operate in VRR mode, i.e. A specific game may render at 120fps in dialog scenes but drop to 50fps or lower in action sequences. Some games run at an 'unlocked' frame rate, which is what you need to enjoy the benefits of VRR. However, a game running on a game console or PC does not always have a fixed frame rate. Modern TVs can refresh at all of these fixed refresh rates – and sometimes other refresh rates – depending on the source signal. This is in contrast to a fixed refresh rate, which is the norm in TVs that have historically refreshed at 60 or 120Hz in North America (and other NTSC regions) and 50 or 100 Hz in Europe (and other PAL regions). VRR is supported on PCs, Xbox One S/X and Xbox Series S/X, and Sony PlayStation 5 (after this week's update). That would typically be a game console or a PC, but it could also be a video player. What is VRR?A display with VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) can adjust its refresh rate in real-time to match the source. This TV’s only real drawback is that it doesn’t support the Dolby Vision HDR format.What is VRR and which TV models support it? Here is what you should know plus an updated list – from the TV Database – of TV models with HDMI 2.1 VRR, AMD FreeSync and Nvidia G-Sync Compatible. The QN90B is also available in six screen sizes, including a smaller, 43-inch model that’s good for desktop gaming. This improvement is especially good news if you own both the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X, as you can connect the two consoles simultaneously. Additionally, all four of the QN90B’s HDMI inputs can receive a 4K 120 Hz signal, unlike on the previous model, the QN90A (our former runner-up pick), which had only a single HDMI input that was capable of accepting 4K 120 Hz. ![]() It also supports the HDMI 2.1 features required to best complement modern game consoles, including automatic low-latency mode, variable refresh rate, and HGiG support. It boasts low input lag, averaging around 11 ms for 4K 60 Hz gaming (you can expect about half of that if you’re playing at 120 Hz). If you have a very bright room or you’re worried about the risks of burn-in with an OLED TV, the Samsung QN90B Series LCD TV is an excellent alternative to the LG C2. Ultimately, we preferred the LG C2’s superior black levels, wider viewing angles, and faster pixel response time in comparison with the QN90B, but this Samsung TV is so good that it’s almost neck and neck. It’s available in screen sizes from 43 to 85 inches, and it’s also our upgrade pick for the best LCD/LED TV-so you can rest assured that its image quality for movies and TV is top-notch. In addition, the QN90B is considerably brighter than any OLED TV and has a good antireflective screen filter, so it’s a great choice for rooms with lots of windows or skylights. It also gives you four HDMI 2.1 inputs and (like all 2022 Samsung TVs) access to built-in cloud gaming from sources such as Xbox Game Pass and Nvidia GeForce Now. Like the C2, the QN90B offers low input lag, HDMI 2.1 gaming features, and a gaming dashboard that makes it easy for you to see whether all those features are set up correctly. We don’t think that’s an issue with the LG C2, but if you prefer to use an LCD TV instead, the Samsung QN90B Series is a great choice. Some people worry about burn-in, or uneven wear on the screen, when using an OLED TV for gaming. But this premium performer also carries a premium price tag. As an OLED TV, the C2 offers better viewing angles than an LCD TV and faster pixel-response times for less image blurring. In addition, this TV provides an on-screen gaming dashboard that lets you easily check and adjust its gaming-specific settings to ensure that it’s giving you the best performance, and it’s available in screen sizes from 42 to 83 inches. PC gamers can also use it as a monitor thanks to its support for the AMD FreeSync and Nvidia G-Sync variable refresh rate modes on certain GPUs and graphics cards. The C2 is one of the few TVs that support the new HGiG high dynamic range guidelines for gaming, as well as 4K 120 Hz Dolby Vision gaming. All four HDMI inputs support the full HDMI 2.1 feature set, including automatic low-latency mode, variable refresh rate, and the bandwidth to accept a 4K signal at 120 frames per second (see How we picked for an explanation of these features). And unlike many other TVs, the C2 doesn’t sacrifice image quality in its game mode. Its input lag is very low, which means less time between when something happens in a game and when you see it on your screen. The LG C2 OLED TV is the best gaming TV to pair with the PS5 and Xbox Series X consoles. ![]()
