RTINGS rates all three of these OLEDs well in a dark room, so picking one for games comes down to other things: how high the refresh rate goes, which variable refresh rate formats it handles, how many full-bandwidth HDMI 2.1 ports it has, and whether it supports everything your console or PC can send it. This guide to the best OLED TVs for gaming compares three 2026 models on exactly those points, using the results RTINGS published from its own testing. We didn’t test these TVs ourselves.

The short version, based on RTINGS’ results: the LG C6 suits the widest range of setups, the Samsung S90H makes the most sense in a bright room, and the LG B6 covers current consoles with a 120Hz ceiling.

Quick Picks

How to Decide Among the Best OLED TVs for Gaming

Refresh rate: 120Hz for consoles, more for a PC

RTINGS’ console checks go up to 1440p and 4k @ 120Hz on the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, and all three TVs support those modes. The C6 and S90H accept up to 4k @ 165Hz; the B6 tops out at 120Hz. In our reading, that extra headroom matters only for a source that can send more than 120Hz, such as a gaming PC. For what a higher refresh rate changes on screen, see what refresh rate does for gaming.

Variable refresh rate and low frame rates

All three support FreeSync, HDMI Forum VRR and G-SYNC, and RTINGS found each works across a wide refresh range with low framerate compensation, which keeps games nearly tear-free when frame rates dip. The C6 is the one RTINGS describes as certified G-SYNC compatible. If the terms are new to you, our explainer on how VRR works covers the basics.

Ports and console features

All three offer full-bandwidth (48Gbps) HDMI 2.1 on each of their four inputs, which RTINGS says leaves room to run current consoles and a gaming PC at full bandwidth. Feature support differs on Xbox, though: RTINGS found Dolby Vision gaming works on the C6 and B6, while the S90H doesn’t support Dolby Vision at all.

Your room

RTINGS found the S90H’s matte coating very effective against glare. The C6 is glossy; RTINGS rates its direct-reflection handling as okay and says it can’t match the S90H in a bright room. The B6 is glossy too, and RTINGS says its coating does little to cut bright direct reflections.

The Best OLED TVs for Gaming Compared

Here is how the three compare on the gaming points above, in RTINGS’ own words where possible.

Best OLED for Xbox and PC Gaming: LG OLED65C6

RTINGS says the C6 and S90H share the same gaming features; the C6 adds Dolby Vision gaming on Xbox and is the only one of the three RTINGS describes as certified G-SYNC compatible. RTINGS calls its input lag incredibly low and found it supports all common resolutions up to 4k @ 165Hz with chroma 4:4:4, which RTINGS says helps with text clarity from a PC. Its motion at 165Hz is, in RTINGS’ words, fantastic, with only very minor overshoot in shadow details.

Console owners get full support on both platforms. RTINGS found the C6 fully compatible with the PS5 and with the Xbox Series X|S, with FreeSync Premium Pro and Dolby Vision gaming both working, and Auto Low Latency Mode switches it into Game Optimizer automatically.

Trade-off: RTINGS measured slightly lower HDR peak brightness in Game Optimizer than in the calibrated mode, and its glossy screen can’t match the S90H in a bright room. RTINGS’ results apply to the 55- and 65-inch sizes only: the 42-inch isn’t as bright, the 48-inch uses a different panel and was tested as a monitor (our LG OLED48C6PUA review covers that test), and the 77- and 83-inch sizes are sold as the separate C6H.

Best OLED for Gaming in a Bright Room: Samsung 65S90H

On raw gaming features, RTINGS says the S90H and the C6 share the same set. The S90H also runs up to 4k @ 165Hz with chroma 4:4:4, supports FreeSync, HDMI Forum VRR and G-SYNC with low framerate compensation. RTINGS rates its Game Mode input lag as very low, especially at higher refresh rates. RTINGS rates its motion at 165Hz as fantastic.

What sets it apart is the screen. According to RTINGS’ Samsung S90H review, it “excels in a bright room” because of its matte coating. It’s also the one pick where RTINGS measured slightly higher HDR peak brightness in Game Mode than in the calibrated mode, rather than slightly lower.

Trade-off: the S90H doesn’t support Dolby Vision, so Dolby Vision gaming on Xbox isn’t possible, and RTINGS calls it “almost fully” compatible with the Xbox Series X|S. RTINGS’ results apply to the 55-, 65- and 83-inch sizes. The 42-inch likely isn’t as bright, though most other results should hold. The 48- and 77-inch models use an RGB tandem panel, and the results don’t apply to the QD-OLED versions Samsung still sells in some regions outside North America. More on the TV itself is in our Samsung 65S90H review.

Best Entry-Level OLED for Console Gaming: LG OLED65B6GUA

RTINGS describes the B6 as LG’s entry-level OLED for 2026, and calls it “an excellent gaming TV”, citing its low input lag, very clear motion and broad gaming feature set. Its input lag in Game Optimizer is very low in all supported formats, though RTINGS notes it’s a lot higher outside Game Optimizer or with motion interpolation on, and it supports all three VRR types across a wide range, with low framerate compensation.

For consoles, nothing is missing: RTINGS’ LG B6 review found it fully compatible with the PS5 and PS5 Pro, including 1440p and 4k @ 120Hz, and with the Xbox Series X|S, with FreeSync Premium Pro and Dolby Vision gaming both working.

Trade-off: the B6 tops out at 120Hz, so a PC can’t push it to 144 or 165Hz. RTINGS rates its HDR brightness as decent but well below the C6’s, calls the C6 considerably better overall mainly because of brightness, and says the B6 struggles against glare in a very bright room. Two of its HDMI ports also face straight out of the back, so a close wall mount needs angle adapters. RTINGS’ results cover every B6 size from 48 to 83 inches. See our LG OLED65B6GUA review for more. If you plan to wall-mount it, see our guide on whether TV wall mounts are universal.

Who Should Buy What

• You play on a gaming PC: the C6 or S90H, since both reach 4k @ 165Hz with chroma 4:4:4. The B6 stops at 120Hz.
• You play on Xbox and want Dolby Vision gaming: the C6 or B6. The S90H doesn’t support Dolby Vision.
• You play on PS5: any of the three, since RTINGS found all of them fully compatible with the PS5; it confirms PS5 Pro compatibility only for the B6. Our suggestion is to choose on room light.
• Your gaming room gets a lot of daylight: the S90H, for its matte coating. Both LG picks are glossy.
• You play only on console and want Dolby Vision gaming and PS5 Pro support confirmed: the B6, accepting the 120Hz ceiling and dimmer HDR.

Final Recommendation

Of the three 2026 OLEDs covered here, our suggestion for the best OLED TVs for gaming, based on RTINGS’ results: the LG C6 has no gaps in RTINGS’ PS5, Xbox and PC checks, the Samsung S90H is the better call for a bright room if you can do without Dolby Vision, and the LG B6 gives console players full PS5 and Xbox support with a 120Hz ceiling.
