120Hz refresh rates have become the norm in the last few years on all mid- to high-end TVs. This faster refresh rate allows you to game at 120 fps, which gives you excellent motion clarity. Most TVs on our list pair well with modern consoles, as they support HDMI 2.1 bandwidth for 4k @ 120Hz gaming. Some TVs on this list also support 144Hz and 165Hz, giving you even higher refresh rates if you need that for your PC gaming rig. However, there's more to a good 120Hz model than just its refresh rate, as you still want a TV that delivers solid overall picture quality. We perform over 350 tests during our testing process to see just how good a TV is overall. Through this process, we can determine which TVs perform best in terms of image quality and features, and we use this data to inform our recommendations.
Below are our recommendations for the best TVs you can buy that have at least a 120Hz refresh rate. If you're looking for something a bit more specific that pairs well with your current console, check out our picks for the best Nintendo Switch 2 TVs, the best TVs for the Xbox Series X, or the best TVs for the PS5/PS5 Pro. You can also vote on which TVs you want us to buy and test. To learn more about new models released in 2026, check out our 2026 TV lineup page.
We buy and test dozens of TVs yearly, taking an objective, data-driven approach to deliver results you can trust. Our testing process is complex, with hundreds of individual tests that take over a week to complete. Most of our tests use specially designed test patterns that mimic real content, but we also use the same sources you have at home to ensure our results match the real-world experience. We use two main tools for our testing: a Colorimetry Research CR-100 colorimeter and a CR-250 spectroradiometer.

Best 120Hz TV
Mixed UsageHome TheaterBright RoomSportsGamingExpected ReliabilityBrightnessBlack LevelColorMotion HandlingGame Mode ResponsivenessProcessing (In Development)Native Refresh Rate:165Hz4k @ 120Hz:msCAD In Game Mode @ 120Hz:See all our test resultsSizes:55" 65" 77" 83"If you're looking for top-tier performance, the best 120Hz TV we've tested is the Samsung S95H OLED. It offers fantastic gaming performance at 120Hz, with low input lag for a responsive gaming feel and a nearly instantaneous response time, resulting in crystal-clear motion. It also supports 4k @ 120Hz signals on all four of its HDMI ports, so you can use it with multiple consoles. It has fantastic console compatibility, working with everything the PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2 offer. It works great with the Xbox Series X as well, but it doesn't support Dolby Vision gaming. It also supports higher refresh rates, up to 165Hz, when paired with a PC.
Of course, beyond input lag and motion handling, you also want your games to look amazing. Thankfully, the S95H delivers amazing picture quality in Game mode, with bright, vibrant colors, and fantastic accuracy out of the box. Switching to Game mode has no impact on picture quality, either, so you don't have to sacrifice anything to get the best gaming performance out of the TV. It's also an incredibly versatile TV, with fantastic reflection handling that makes glare nearly invisible in a bright room, but it also looks amazing in a dark room thanks to its deep, inky blacks.

Best Upper Mid-Range 120Hz TV

It offers a nearly identical gaming experience to the Samsung S95H OLED, with the same low input lag and the same incredible motion handling, but it has slightly worse picture quality overall. While your games will still look amazing at 120Hz, they won't be quite as bright or as colorful. They also have different screen coatings, so while the S95H is a fantastic choice for a bright or dark room, the C6 is better for a moderately lit or dark room, as glare can be a bit distracting during the day.
Like the S95H, it has everything you need to take full advantage of the latest consoles. It's fully compatible with all of the latest consoles, and it even supports Dolby Vision gaming with the Xbox Series X. It delivers fantastic picture quality when gaming, with bright, vibrant colors and deep, inky blacks, and switching to the dedicated Game mode has no impact on picture quality.

Best Lower Mid-Range 120Hz TV
Mixed UsageHome TheaterBright RoomSportsGamingExpected ReliabilityBrightnessBlack LevelColorMotion HandlingGame Mode ResponsivenessProcessing (In Development)Native Refresh Rate:165Hz4k @ 120Hz:msCAD In Game Mode @ 120Hz:See all our test resultsSizes:55" 65" 75" 85" 100"If you're shopping on a slightly limited budget but don't want to sacrifice on gaming features, the Hisense U7SG is the best lower mid-range 120Hz TV we've tested. It's an incredibly feature-packed TV, with four high-bandwidth ports that support 4k @ 120Hz gaming and the same impressive suite of gaming features as the LG C6 OLED 2026. The compromise here is that it delivers worse picture quality overall. While it still looks great in most rooms, blacks aren't as deep; there's some haloing around bright details, and the TV's not quite as colorful. Motion isn't as smooth, either, and while it's okay overall, there's more blur behind fast-moving objects.
That's not to say that it looks bad, either. It's an incredibly bright TV overall, with much higher peak brightness than the C6, making it a fantastic choice for sports games or other bright content. There's also no significant change in picture quality when you switch to the dedicated Game mode.

Best Budget 120Hz TV
Mixed UsageHome TheaterBright RoomSportsGamingExpected ReliabilityBrightnessBlack LevelColorMotion HandlingGame Mode ResponsivenessProcessing (In Development)Native Refresh Rate:120Hz4k @ 120Hz:msCAD In Game Mode @ 120Hz:See all our test resultsSizes:55" 65" 75"If you're really shopping on a budget, check out the Roku Pro Series 2025. This TV is surprisingly well-equipped for the price. There are two high-bandwidth inputs that let you take full advantage of up to two recent consoles or a gaming PC. It supports VRR to reduce screen tearing, and it has low input lag and similar motion handling to the Hisense U7SG when gaming at 120Hz. The biggest compromise here is picture quality. While it still looks good overall, the Roku is significantly less bright and not nearly as colorful as the Hisense, so games don't look as good as they should.
It has good compatibility with consoles and can take full advantage of the Xbox Series X, PS5, and Nintendo Switch 2, including Dolby Vision gaming support on the Xbox. It doesn't go above 120Hz, though, which may disappoint PC gamers looking for even smoother motion.
Notable Mentions

LG G6 OLED:
The LG G6 OLED shares many of the same features as the Samsung S95H OLED, like 165Hz.
It has very impressive colors, but it still doesn't match the level of vividness you get from the Samsung. The LG also doesn't do as good a job at reducing the intensity of reflections, making the Samsung the more versatile option.

LG B6 OLED 2026:
If you mainly game in a dark room, the LG B6 OLED 2026 is a good, cheaper alternative to the LG C6 OLED 2026. It's not as bright or as colorful, though, and the price difference is fairly small, so most people are better off getting the C6 instead.
