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. If you want motion to look crisp and clear, that's where a TV's response time matters. 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. If you're not just gaming on the Xbox, check out our recommendations for the best PS5/PS5 Pro TVs, the best 120Hz TVs, and the best Switch 2 TVs for more options. 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 RoomSportsGamingExpected ReliabilityBrightnessBlack 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 RoomSportsGamingExpected ReliabilityBrightnessBlack 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. 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. The 77- and 83-inch versions of this TV are called the LG C6H OLED. These larger sizes utilize an RGB tandem panel, which provides better brightness and more vibrant colors than the smaller sizes, so they deliver even better image quality.

Best Mid-Range TV For Xbox Series X
Mixed UsageHome TheaterBright RoomSportsGamingExpected ReliabilityBrightnessBlack LevelColorMotion HandlingGame Mode ResponsivenessProcessing (In Development)Resolution:4kNative Refresh Rate:165HzScreen Finish:MattePanel Type:LCDSub-Type:VADolby Vision:YesSee all our test resultsSizes:55" 65" 75" 85" 100"If you want a cheaper option than the LG C6 OLED 2026 and prefer playing your Xbox in a bright room, check out the Hisense U7SG instead. There are three main compromises here. First, the U7SG has a much slower response time, so motion isn't quite as crisp. It doesn't look quite as good as the top two OLED picks in a dark room, either, and you'll see a bit more of a glowing effect around bright details on a dark background. That's not to say it's bad, either, as its local dimming system does a pretty good job of keeping black levels low in more complex scenes. Finally, it has a much worse viewing angle, so it's less ideal for couch co-op parties in a wide seating area, as the people sitting to the sides will see a slightly degraded image.
This mid-range model still delivers a great gaming experience, with low input lag and a great selection of gaming features, including VRR support to reduce tearing and HDMI 2.1 bandwidth. It can take full advantage of the Xbox consoles, including 4k @ 120Hz and Dolby Vision support. It's also incredibly bright, so very colorful games stand out incredibly well. If you also plan on pairing your TV with a PC it supports a boosted refresh rate mode that goes up to 330Hz with a 1080p resolution.

Best Budget TV For Xbox Series X
Mixed UsageHome TheaterBright RoomSportsGamingExpected ReliabilityBrightnessBlack 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"If you're shopping on a tighter budget, the TCL QM6K is the best budget TV we've tested for Xbox Series X gaming. The biggest compromise between this TV and the more expensive Hisense U7SG is the overall picture quality. While the QM6K looks decent overall, it's significantly dimmer than the Hisense, and colors aren't as vibrant. It still looks pretty good in a dark room, with similar contrast and a slightly worse local dimming feature, but it's really not too bad.
Fortunately, the TV's gaming performance is almost on par with that of the Hisense. 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 RoomSportsGamingExpected ReliabilityBrightnessBlack 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 S90H OLED:
If you like what the LG C6 OLED offers, but you mostly play games in a very bright room, go with the similar Samsung S90H OLED. The LG displays punchier highlights in HDR and supports Dolby Vision, but the Samsung's matte screen coating does an amazing job of handling glare, so you don't have to worry about distracting reflections.
See our review -
LG B6 OLED 2026:
The LG B6 OLED 2026 is a great alternative to the LG C6 OLED 2026, but it's just a bit too similar. The C6 is noticeably brighter and usually sold for about the same price, so most people should get that one instead.
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.
See our review -
Vizio Mini LED Quantum 4K:
The Walmart-exclusive Vizio Mini LED Quantum 4K is an affordable alternative to the Hisense QD6QF. The Vizio has the advantage in image quality, as it's brighter, produces deeper blacks, and has slightly more vibrant colors. However, the Hisense is better for gaming because fast motion looks clearer on it, so the Vizio is best suited for those who mostly play slower-paced games.

All Reviews
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.
