The gaming industry is one of the biggest sectors worldwide. It is predicted that by 2024 the industry will generate up to £153.1 billion and is a faster-growing world than movies or any other. So, most gamers find this a very important task when it comes to finding the right set-up at home.
As experts in cheap TVs, we have a fount of knowledge about how essential finding a TV to suit your needs is. For this reason, we have decided to explore the benefits of having a smart TV and what it can offer as part of your gaming environment.
Use of AI for Optimisation
AI is an incredible tool, and smart TVs can make gaming a much more immersive experience. Whilst most TVs will allow you to adjust the settings to play games to the best of their ability, AI eliminates the fuss and will recognise when you are playing a game and change the settings accordingly. It can also help reduce the lag of games during play with its low latency mode, which makes gameplay much more responsive.
Along with adjusting the TV settings, AI can improve the visual and audio of the device. The technology can also improve the upscaling of visual content. This means that regardless of which device you are playing from, the AI will help provide any missing data to optimise the image to its full capacity. For example, suppose you have a 4K smart TV, but your Xbox One doesn’t provide 4K quality. So your TV will upscale the data to deliver images as close to 4K as possible. AI will also help with noise reduction, allowing you to hear the visuals better by offering unique adjustments to the various layers of audio, lowing background noise to provide a crystal clear dialogue of your game.
TVs Optimised for Gaming
Although any smart TV can offer excellent gameplay, there are a select few TVs which were designed to play various consoles better than others. In 2020, LG officially partnered with the Xbox X series, agreeing to provide LGs best OLED TVs which worked perfectly in sync with the Xbox X. Working together, they created heightened visual quality with vibrant colours and the flagship for installing Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos in the Xbox X, making it the first console to offer this latest technology.
Of course, if you are a Playstation gamer, it is easy to assume that the best TV for gaming would be the excellent range of Sony TVs. Sony owns the entire brand of Playstation, so it would only be natural to seek a smart Sony TV to access the best optimisation for gameplay. Sony even released a lineup of “perfect for PS5” TVs which provided a few Sony-exclusive features designed for the console, including Auto HDR Tone Mapping. As a supplier of cheap Sony TVs, we regularly have devices such as the A95K series in stock, so if you are looking for the best TV for PlayStation, look at all we have to offer.
Access to Games on a Smart TV
Gaming has come a long way from the days of the PlayStation 1. There is a movement within the industry that could eliminate the need for a console, with manufacturers like Microsoft offering the Xbox app. This app can be downloaded onto your TV directly and using the wireless remote by connecting through Bluetooth, you can minimise the need for wires and take your gaming wherever you go without the console. Although much work still needs to be done, we imagine it won’t be long before the need for external devices to game from are entirely irradicated.
We have already seen something similar to the Xbox app already, with most Smart TVs allowing you to download games directly to the interface for instant access. In addition, you can choose from a variety of gaming apps through your TV online store. Although there is not an abundance of them yet, more development is being done to provide much more. For example, choosing the likes of our cheap Samsung TVs allows you access to Samsungs gaming hub, which offers a platform for the Xbox app along with the various streaming services to allow seamless integration of streaming your games or watching others who do.
Screen Mirroring Gaming
One of the most significant features of a smart TV is the ability to mirror a mobile device on a larger screen. Often all that is required is an app on your mobile device; you can connect it to your TV within seconds. So if you have a game on your mobile device that you wish to play with others, a smart TV offers you the perfect opportunity.
There are also several games which you can download to your TV, which will also work alongside your mobile device. For example, AirConsole and Jackabox are gaming apps that you download directly to your TV and play using your mobile device, and they are the ideal way to include everyone in gaming nights.
