The best TVs for Xbox Series X in 2025
1. LG C4 OLED – The best TV for Xbox Series X overall
- Sizes available: 42 to 83 inches
- Refresh rate: 120Hz native (up to 144Hz overclocked)
- Panel type: OLED
- MSRP: $1,499 – $5,399
The LG C4 OLED is our number one pick for the best TV for Xbox Series X overall, and it’s clear to see why. The latest in the flagship line-up, the C4 features a stunning OLED panel for deep inky blacks and (seemingly) endless color contrast for vivid images, which will make the best Xbox Series X games pop.
Speaking of gaming-specific features, the LG C4 OLED natively supports a 120Hz refresh rate. However, this can be bumped up to 144Hz when overclocking. Throw in genuine HDR modes, both AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and Nvidia G-Sync, as well as the combination of Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision, and you have all the makings of an all-star gaming TV in 2025.
Just keep in mind that the LG C4 OLED doesn’t come cheap. It’s been around a year since the top-end TV first hit the market, and sales are now more commonplace, but you should still expect to spend a fair amount. The starting MSRP for the 48-inch model is $1,499; however, regular sales have seen the model as cheap as $999.99, and you can sometimes find the 65-inch variant as low as $1,499, too. We advise waiting for a sale if you want a larger size.
2. Hisense Class U7 Series – The best budget TV for Xbox Series X
- Sizes available: 55 to 83 inches
- Refresh rate: 60Hz (native) up to 144Hz (overclocked)
- Panel type: OLED
- MSRP: $999 – $2,199
There’s no reason why the best TVs for Xbox Series X have to get up into the four-figure range, and that’s the philosophy behind the Hisense Class U7 series. Utilizing mini-LED panel tech (with local dimming zones and bright color contrast), this budget display is built for gamers with its 144Hz refresh rate, AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, several different HDR modes, and VRR included.
The best part is that the Hisense Class U7 Series is available from $999.99 for the 65-inch option, with sizes up to 85-inch if you want that wall-filling effect for less. With a peak brightness of up to 1,500 nits and IMAX-certified audio, the TV can be incredibly bright and loud as well, which means it will be perfect for accurately displaying all your Xbox Series X games as they should be played.
3. Samsung QN900D – The best premium TV for Xbox Series X
- Sizes available: 65 to 85 inches
- Refresh rate: 120Hz (native) up to 240Hz (overclocked)
- Panel type: QLED
- MSRP: $3,299 – $5,799
If you’re looking for a future-proofed TV for the Xbox Series X, then you may want to consider the Samsung QN900D. This is Samsung’s latest 8K flagship panel, which is purpose-built for today’s games but fully equipped for what the near future may hold. Armed with Quantum Dot Mini-LED tech, it’s incredibly bright and benefits from advanced AI-upscaling tech (as well as automatic HDR remastering), which can make 4K games look even better on the TV.
While 8K60 native is the selling point of the Samsung QN900D, the TV also natively supports not only 4K120 for gaming but also 4K at 240Hz through overclocking. As expected from a flagship 8K display, the QN900D is one of the pricier displays on the market; the starting MSRP is $3,299.99 for the 65-inch version and up to $5,799.99 for the 85-inch variant. However, regular sales have brought the starting price down to as low as $2,599.99.
4. LG G4 – The best big-screen TV for Xbox Series X
- Sizes available: 55 to 97 inches
- Refresh rate: 120Hz
- Panel type: OLED
- MSRP: $2,199 – $24,999
The LG G4 is one of the brightest OLED TVs on the market, with a reported peak brightness of 3,000 nits, being around double what many other flagships can typically do. Combine this with all the must-have features for Xbox Series X gaming: VRR, AMAD FreeSync Premium Pro, Dolby Vision, and true HDR support, and you have an encompassing panel for gaming and media playback.
The LG G4 only comes in large sizes, with everything from 55 to 83 inches present and accounted for. However, should money allow, you can go up to a monstrous 97-inch display for an eye-watering $24,999 (although discounts have seen it lowered to $19,999). That’s going to be well out of the realm of feasibility for most people, but it is an option; we recommend either the 77 or 83-inch version for the best big-screen experience.
5. Sony Bravia 7 – The best mid-range TV for Xbox Series X
- Sizes available: 55 to 85 inches
- Refresh rate: 120Hz
- Panel type: Mini-LED
- MSRP: $1,899 – $3,499
If you’re looking to strike a delicate middle-ground between a budget and premium gaming TV, then the Sony Bravia 7 is more than up to the task. Armed with a 4K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate, it’s ready to max out Xbox Series X games without breaking a sweat. One of Sony’s brightest TVs ever made, with Mini-LED panel tech for vivid colors and thousands of local dimming zones for dark blacks, you won’t quite be getting the same level of color contrast as with OLED, but the end results will certainly be comparable.
The Sony Bravia 7 starts at $1,899 for the 55-inch model and goes up to $3,499 for the largest 85-inch variant. However, frequent discounts have made this mid-range Xbox Series X far more affordable, as you can find it for as low as $1,299 for the smallest version and $2,499 when buying directly from the manufacturer. The XR processor inside is one of the best AI chips ever seen in a TV, too, for enhanced image quality, motion blur reduction, and HDR that’s optimized for gaming. Of course, there’s VRR and ALLM here for those higher framerates as well.
How to choose the right TV for your Xbox Series X
Investing in a TV for your Xbox Series X is one of the biggest gaming purchases that you’ll ever make, so you will need to do your research and consider a few crucial factors before putting money down. We understand that buying a TV can be challenging, and that’s why we’ve outlined the three biggest considerations when deciding between models: price, features, and size.
Price
Price will arguably be the biggest deciding factor when weighing up which Xbox Series X TV you buy. In an ideal world, we would all have the biggest and most expensive gaming TVs in our homes, but that’s simply not a possibility for most of us. There’s no minimum price you should aim for; however, be advised that 120Hz models generally start around the $700 mark from manufacturers such as Hisense, but some budget models may be cheaper than this.
Going any cheaper can mean being stuck at 60Hz or having a weaker panel tech in the TV, such as an edge-lit LED, which can be blurry and dim. In our opinion, it’s worth spending a little more on a gaming TV that’s fast enough and maintains the image quality of today’s demanding games instead of limiting how they can look and play.
Mini-LED TVs have come a long way in the past few years, becoming cheaper and available in larger panel sizes from trusted manufacturers. They are a viable alternative to OLED TVs in terms of color contrast, thanks to local dimming zones that can make the colors pop. However, this works differently from OLED, which has self-lit individual pixels, unlike much smaller LEDs that illuminate a backlight. OLED has the best blacks and the highest contrasts but far, but you’re typically going to pay double (or more) for the privilege.
Some flagship OLED gaming TVs in higher sizes can cost anywhere from $2,000 to $5,000 depending on the size (typically from 43 inches and above). If possible, we recommend heading to a brick-and-mortar store and seeing Mini-LED TVs compared against similar-sized OLED versions to see what looks better and what’s in your budget. Unfortunately, watching videos of the TVs and reading the tech specs won’t always accurately convey the differences.
Features
We’ve touched upon some features of Xbox Series X TVs above, but the most important you’ll want to look out for will be resolution, refresh rate, HDR support, and game-specific inclusions such as VRR and ALLM. The Xbox Series X supports resolutions of up to 8K. However, most people will be playing in 4K (either at 60fps or 120fps for the games that support this). We recommend a gaming TV with a minimum refresh rate of 120Hz, which will enable you to play at double the typical framerate of standard TVs (some cheaper panels are even locked to a sluggish 50Hz).
The Xbox Series X supports HDR (High Dynamic Range), which sets an enhanced rate between the darkest and lightest that a game can go for a deeper, richer, and more detailed image. With that said, HDR is not created equal, as there are varying tiers tied to the panel’s peak brightness. DisplayHDR 400 is the lowest, with a 90% DCI-P3 coverage gamut and a 1,300:1 contrast ratio, with DisplayHDR 1400 being much higher, with 95% DCI-P3 coverage and a 50,000:1 contrast ratio. Then we get onto DisplayHDR True Black, a range between 400 and 600, which is made only for OLED TVs and monitors and has the deepest contrast. Before buying a gaming TV, look into which HDR tier it offers and keep what we’ve said in mind.
Lastly, we need to talk about VRR and ALLM. The former stands for Variable Refresh Rate, and the latter means Auto Low Latency Mode; the two features are commonly found together on many gaming TVs and monitors. In short, VRR prevents screen tearing by dynamically scaling the resolution on the screen with no notable artifacts or blurriness. ALLM does what its title says and automatically reduces latency (and lag) for supported devices, such as an Xbox Series X. This means offering the lowest amount of input lag possible by the response time on a TV. Some OLED flagships have response times as low as 0.1ms.
Size
Most people play their Xbox Series X in the living room on a sofa from a fair distance away, meaning a larger gaming TV will be a better choice than a smaller gaming monitor. For this reason, we consider a 43-inch model to be the smallest you should go for when judging which model could fit in your living room. Larger displays will cost more but fill more space on your wall, and there’s a notable difference in sizing up to a 55-inch or 65-inch, which should accommodate most rooms. However, 75-inch and 85-inch variants will deliver that true home cinema experience for those who can afford it.
