Gaming on an OLED television

An OLED television stands out because of its color representation and contrast. Especially the contrast is crucial for the image quality of OLED. Thanks to the strong contrast, you'll have rich, natural colors and see many details in dark parts of the screen. You'll notice enemies in the shade quicker, and you'll be able to find your way better in dark caves. An OLED television can illuminate every pixel individually. Thanks to this, a black pixel is really black, which ensures a strong contrast.

When you play Mario Kart or FIFA with multiple people, not everyone can sit right in front of the TV. In that case, a good viewing angle is very important. OLED televisions are known for their excellent viewing angle. This allows you to play even when looking at the screen from the side of the room. You'll only start to notice a difference in brightness and colors from an 85-degree angle.

The input lag indicates the number of milliseconds of delay between your controller and the screen. The lower the input lag, the better. In the past, many OLED television had a high input lag. This isn't the case anymore, so you can trust that an OLED television has an input lag lower than 20 milliseconds nowadays. Always turn on the gaming mode on your television to optimize the input lag for your gaming session

If you already have a next-gen gaming console or want to buy one, we recommend you to buy an OLED television with an HDMI 2.1 connector. With an HDMI 2.1 connector, you can play games in 4K quality at 100Hz. When you play a game at 100Hz, fast-moving images and explosions look smoother. HDMI 2.1 also supports gaming in 8K. You're really prepared for the future thanks to this, for when games on the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X will support this too.

When your television is set to the main screen of your console for a longer time period, it may be the case that for example the PlayStation logo is still slightly visible when you chance the channel. This is called burn-in. With regular use, you won't have to deal with this. As long as you don't display the same stationary image on your television every day. Are you scared it'll burn-in? Every OLED television has a mechanism that prevents a burn-in. All the OLED lights behind the screen will be reset, after which the burn-in will disappear automatically.
