Gamers have a lot to look forward to in 2022 – what with the release of many highly anticipated titles and DLCs across all platforms. Whether you enjoy journeying through magical realms, wearing a superhero’s mask while administering vigilante justice to criminals, or exploring the furthest galaxies, there’s something for everyone.
With so many visual masterpieces debuting these days, it’s important to have a display that can do them justice. Today’s games are best enjoyed on an innovative display like the LG OLED C1 TV. Available in 48-inch, 55-inch, 65-inch, and 83-inch dimensions, it boasts over 33 million self-lit pixels that turn on and off on an individual level, resulting in the deepest blacks and infinite contrast.
In 2021, the OLED C1 earned EISA’s first-ever Best Gaming TV award because of its ideal size and the fact that it comes with all the top features of a great TV and a gaming monitor combined. It also has the lowest response time on the market at an impressive 1 millisecond – which is crucial for a responsive gaming experience.
The C1 is ideal whether you’re jamming on a console or PC, so it’s no wonder it’s the official TV partner of the Xbox Series X console and the only NVIDIA G-SYNC certified TV. Gaming experiences on OLED are further improved thanks to variable refresh rate (VRR), AMD FreeSync
Premium, support for Dolby Vision HDR at 120Hz, and boosted by a dedicated Game Optimiser menu that gives you the frame rate and latency data that matters most to you. OLED panels emit 50% less blue light than traditional LCD displays, allowing for more prolonged gaming sessions without any of the eyestrain.
LG’s OLED TVs blur the lines between TVs and gaming monitors. They also come with four HDMI 2.1 ports, which is crucial for next-gen gaming in stunning 4K at 120Hz. So, if you want to experience everything today’s next-gen games have to offer, without the torment of input lag or stuttering, make sure you have a monitor that’s up to scratch.
Now, grab your controllers and sit up in your gaming chairs as we take a look at the upcoming video games you’ll definitely want to play on a game-changing display this year.
