If you have an Xbox Series X or plan to get one, you may need a new TV to fully utilize the Series X's potential. If you want to get all of the coveted green check marks when you test your TV's compatibility with your Xbox, there are certain features to look out for. Having a TV that supports 4k @ 120Hz is crucial if you want to game in 120 fps, and it's also important for your TV to support VRR if you don't want to deal with screen tearing. You also want a TV with solid image quality, which is the most important thing to consider if you want your games to look good.
By putting TVs through our in-depth testing process, we can determine which TVs pair best with your Xbox, depending on your budget. Our picks reflect the market as it stands today, so you might still see some 2025 models in this article if they're still available. Below are our recommendations for the best televisions for the Xbox Series X. While this recommendation focuses on the Xbox Series X, the picks are the same for the Xbox Series S. For more options, check out our recommendations for the best PS5/PS5 Pro TVs, the best 120Hz TVs, and the best Switch 2 TVs. You can also vote on which ones you want us to buy and test. To learn more about the newest models on the market, 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 TV For Xbox Series X
Mixed UsageHome TheaterBright RoomSportsGamingBrightnessBlack LevelColorMotion HandlingGame Mode ResponsivenessProcessing (In Development)Resolution:4kNative Refresh Rate:165HzScreen Finish:MattePanel Type:OLEDSub-Type:QD-OLEDDolby Vision:NoSee all our test resultsSizes:55" 65" 77" 83"The Samsung S95H OLED is the best TV for Xbox Series X. It offers a complete package of gaming performance and top-tier image quality, with barely any drawbacks. This QD-OLED's image quality is stunning, with inky blacks and incredibly vivid colors. Bright areas, like the sun popping through the clouds, really stand out in games that support HDR, leading to an immersive experience. This is a very bright TV overall, and its matte coating does an exceptional job of eliminating reflections on the screen, allowing it to overcome glare from even the most bothersome light sources without issue. Add in the fact that it has an incredibly wide viewing angle for those with wide seating arrangements, and you get an extremely versatile TV that excels in any room.
The TV features four HDMI 2.1 ports that support up to 4k @ 165Hz, so it easily takes advantage of the 4k @ 120Hz maximum on the Series X|S, but you can put that 165Hz to good use if you also have a gaming PC. The TV supports VRR, providing a tear-free gaming experience. Motion is incredibly clear, and its low input lag provides a snappy gaming experience. Some Xbox gamers may be disappointed by the TV's lack of Dolby Vision support. However, very few games natively support Dolby Vision on Xbox, and you're typically best off using HGiG instead.

Best Upper Mid-Range TV For Xbox Series X
Mixed UsageHome TheaterBright RoomSportsGamingBrightnessBlack LevelColorMotion HandlingGame Mode ResponsivenessProcessing (In Development)Resolution:4kNative Refresh Rate:165HzScreen Finish:GlossyPanel Type:OLEDSub-Type:WOLEDDolby Vision:YesSee all our test resultsSizes:42" 48" 55" 65"The LG C6 OLED 2026 is the best gaming TV for Xbox Series X if the price of the Samsung S95H OLED is out of reach. Although bright colors aren't quite as vivid as they are on the Samsung, they still look vibrant, and since it still displays the same inky blacks that OLEDs are known for, games have incredible depth. Some bright areas in HDR games, like a bright moon in the night sky, don't pop out as much as they do on the Samsung. However, they don't look dim, and HDR games still have dimension to them. Reflections are more of an issue on this model, and any light sources facing the screen cause mirror-like reflections, but the TV's glare handling and brightness are good enough for moderately lit spaces. An advantage this TV has over the Samsung is that blacks stay much deeper in a bright room, so they avoid looking gray when you flip your lights on.
The TV offers the same features as the more expensive Samsung, and you still get four HDMI 2.1 ports capable of up to 4k @ 165Hz, so you can easily take advantage of the 120Hz maximum the Xbox offers. Furthermore, screen tearing is a thing of the past thanks to the TV's VRR support, input lag is very low for a responsive feel, and fast motion is crystal clear.

Best Mid-Range TV For Xbox Series X

The TV's picture quality isn't quite as good as the C6, but it still looks great. Colors aren't as vibrant as they are on the C6, but they still look rich and well-saturated, so games don't look dull. It delivers the same inky blacks that give games incredible depth, and even though bright areas in HDR games don't stand out as much as they do on the C6, the image doesn't look dim. Like the C6, blacks stay very deep in a room with the lights on. The TV is bright enough to handle some glare from overhead lights, but mirror-like reflections are an issue in bright rooms, so it's best suited for dimly lit and dark rooms.
The TV has four HDMI 2.1 ports that offer 4k @ 120Hz, and it supports VRR to nearly eliminate screen tearing, so it takes full advantage of the features offered by the Series X|S. Gaming feels just as snappy, and motion is still crystal clear, so gaming on this TV feels more or less identical to the C6. Although it doesn't offer quite the same level of image quality as the two OLED options above, this TV is a great entry point into the OLED market.

Best Lower Mid-Range TV For Xbox Series X
Mixed UsageHome TheaterBright RoomSportsGamingBrightnessBlack LevelColorMotion HandlingGame Mode ResponsivenessProcessing (In Development)Resolution:4kNative Refresh Rate:144HzScreen Finish:GlossyPanel Type:LCDSub-Type:VADolby Vision:YesSee all our test resultsSizes:55" 65" 75" 85" 98"OLEDs are well known for being the best gaming TVs in terms of overall performance, but you can still get a solid Mini LED TV, like the TCL QM7K, without sacrificing too much. You don't get the same inky blacks as OLEDs like the LG B5 OLED, but this TV's great local dimming makes blacks deep and bold, with just minor glowing around bright lights in dark scenes. Bright areas pop out in HDR games, and colors are vibrant, so it delivers very good image quality regardless of the game you're playing. Direct light sources facing the screen are visible, but the TV has excellent brightness, so glare from indirect light sources is a non-issue. Unfortunately, it doesn't have a wide viewing angle like the OLEDs above, so it's best to sit as centered in front of the screen as possible.
This model offers a wide variety of gaming features, like 4k @ 144Hz, VRR, and low input lag, so it takes full advantage of your Xbox's features. You can even game in 1080p @ 288Hz if you also have a PC rig. It doesn't have the same crystal clear motion as the OLEDs above, but they're quick for a Mini LED model, so fast motion only has some minor trails of blur behind it. All in all, this is a great gaming TV that also supports Dolby Vision for those who want it.

Best Budget TV For Xbox Series X
Mixed UsageHome TheaterBright RoomSportsGamingBrightnessBlack LevelColorMotion HandlingGame Mode ResponsivenessProcessing (In Development)Resolution:4kNative Refresh Rate:144HzScreen Finish:GlossyPanel Type:LCDSub-Type:VADolby Vision:YesSee all our test resultsSizes:55" 65" 75" 85" 98"What if you like what the TCL QM7K offers, but the TV is still a bit out of your price range? That's where the TCL QM6K comes into play. Colors appear slightly muted compared to the QM7K, but they're still vibrant enough to enjoy in most games. Blacks don't have the same depth as on the QM7K, but its local dimming still delivers bold blacks, especially for a budget model, although you do see a bit more glowing around bright lights in dark scenes. Unfortunately, it's a bit too dim for bright areas to truly pop out as they should in many HDR games, but they still look decent. The TV is bright enough to handle glare from overhead lights, but lamps and other light sources facing the screen cause mirror-like reflections. It has the same narrow viewing angle as the more expensive TCL, which isn't ideal for large living spaces.
Fortunately, the TV's gaming performance is almost on par with that of the more expensive TCL. Input lag is low, it supports VRR for nearly tear-free gaming, and the amount of motion blur is pretty much the same. You get up to 4k @ 144Hz from its two HDMI 2.1 ports, and it even supports 1080p @ 288Hz for those with gaming PCs. If you're looking for the most affordable model on the market that still offers solid image quality and a range of gaming features, this is it.

Best Cheap TV For Xbox Series X
Mixed UsageHome TheaterBright RoomSportsGamingBrightnessBlack LevelColorMotion HandlingGame Mode ResponsivenessProcessing (In Development)Resolution:4kNative Refresh Rate:60HzScreen Finish:GlossyPanel Type:LCDSub-Type:VADolby Vision:YesSee all our test resultsSizes:43" 50" 55" 65" 75" 85" 100"If you're on a very strict budget but still hope to get a TV that can take advantage of some of your Xbox's features, the Hisense QD6QF is a decent option. Unlike the TCL QM6K, the TV lacks local dimming, so blacks aren't very deep and appear gray. It's not as bright as the TCL, but it's just good enough to overcome glare in a room with moderate lighting. However, its limited brightness means that bright areas don't stand out in HDR games, so those games tend to look a bit flat and dim. Colors also look a bit lackluster, since the TV struggles to display both bright and dark colors. However, it still displays a solid range of colors, so the picture doesn't look too muted. Unfortunately, like most LED models, its viewing angle is on the narrow side, so it's best to sit centered to the screen for the best image quality.
It doesn't have a ton of gaming features, but it does support VRR to help reduce screen tearing. 4k @ 120Hz isn't possible on this model, but it does support 1440p @ 120Hz. However, input lag is very high in that mode, which holds back its usefulness. Fortunately, you can still game in 4k @ 60Hz with decently low input lag. Fast motion appears a bit blurry, but it's not too bad for a cheap model. If you game on a daily basis and care about getting the most out of your Xbox, you may want to look elsewhere; however, the TV is more than fine for casual gamers.
Notable Mentions
-
LG G6 OLED:
The LG G6 OLED competes with the Samsung S95H OLED and offers a similar gaming experience.
It has very impressive colors, but it still doesn't match the level of vividness you get from the Samsung. The Samsung also offers better reflection handling and a brighter HDR gaming experience,
making it the slightly better gaming TV overall.
See our review -
Samsung S90F OLED:
The Samsung S90F OLED is a 2025 model that competes with the LG C6 OLED 2026. The Samsung displays more vivid colors if you get a 55, 65, or 77-inch model. However, the LG performs better in bright rooms and provides a brighter HDR gaming experience, so it's the better gaming TV all-around.
See our review -
Hisense U7SG:
The Hisense U7SG is a great alternative to the LG B5 OLED if you mostly play games in a bright room. The Hisense is significantly brighter than the LG and has a very effective matte coating, so it easily overcomes glare in a well-lit room. However, the LG has deeper blacks, much clearer motion, and slightly less input lag, making it the better gaming TV overall.
See our review -
Hisense U75QG:
The Hisense U75QG is a brighter alternative to the TCL QM7K. Unfortunately, the Hisense drastically overbrightens HDR games, so it doesn't follow the game maker's intent. The Hisense also
has much blurrier motion than the TCL. Since the TCL also has deeper blacks, it's the better TV for most Xbox gamers.
See our review -
Hisense U65QF:
The Hisense U65QF is a brighter alternative to the TCL QM6K. However, the Hisense displays HDR games much brighter than intended. Since the TCL has superior accuracy, deeper blacks, and lower input lag, it's the better option for Xbox gamers.

Our recommendations above are what we think are currently the best televisions for the Xbox Series X. We factor in the price (a cheaper TV wins over a pricier one if the difference isn't worth it), feedback from our visitors, and availability (no TVs that are difficult to find or almost out of stock everywhere).
If you would like to do the work of choosing yourself, here is a list of all our recent TV reviews. Be careful not to get too caught up in the details. While no TV is perfect, most TVs are great enough to please almost everyone, and the differences are often not noticeable unless you really look for them.
