New in August Update: In our list, a lot has changed this month because many models from 2020 are only badly available and we had to delete them. For this, some of the new models from 2021 have become much cheaper. In addition, we have recorded the Philips PUS9206 in our list, one of the first TVs, which offers both ambilight and HDMI 2.1. In the lower price range, the LG Up7500 and the Samsung AU7179 are also newly added.

Which 4K TV is the best to play? The question depends among other things from the console used. The Xbox One X creates native 4k, the PS4 Pro can calculate from lower resolutions. The PS5 and the Xbox Series X not only support native 4K resolution, but can deliver up to 120 fps at the same time. But you need a TV with HDMI 2.1 . The Xbox Series S , however, is designed to play with 1440p, for which you do not necessarily need HDMI 2.1.

Our high-end purchase tip: LG OLED B1

Per

• __Total very good picture quality
• __zwei HDMI-2.1 connections
• __NUEDERIGER INPUT LAG

Contra

• __Paid brightness low for the price range
• __duferent image processor than the C1

Price: approx. 1,280 Euro at 55 inches

The usual differences: The LG OLED B1 has hardly changed compared to the predecessor BX. As in previous years, the B-series differs from the slightly more expensive C series by the weaker image processor, which is rarely striking in practice, and the lower peak brightness. With HDR content and in very bright rooms, the C1 thus cuts off better, but the quality difference between the two models is not too big.

Liquid than the A1: Despite the small savings, the LG OLED B1 offers a very high picture quality, which is of course mainly at OLED technology with its perfect black, the infinitely high contrast and the very good color representation. However, this also applies to the even more favorable LG OLED A1. In contrast to this model, however, the B1 has a 120 Hz display, which ensures a more fluid representation of faster movements.

Twice HDMI 2.1: In addition, the LG OLED B1 offers two HDMI 2.1 connectors that gaming in 4k with up to 120 fps in principle make possible. These are two connections less than the C1, but two more than the A1. In the INPUT lay, the B1 lies approximately at the same level as the other LG OLED TVs from this year (about 10 ms at 60 Hz) and cuts off very well. Like the C1, the B1 VRR as well as Freesync and G-Sync also supports, which is missing at the A1.

CONCLUSION: If only for the picture quality went to the film look, you would have to advise against B1. In this regard, the cheaper A1 is almost just as good. However, if you want to use the TV for gaming, the B1 cuts much better than the cheaper model, so that the surcharge is worthwhile. Compared to the C1, the B1 also represents a good compromise from price and performance, as it includes a few savings, but the differences are not too high.

Our mid-range buying tip: Sony XH90

Per

• __2 x HDMI 2.1 (by firmware update)
• __high contrast
• __Full Array Local Dimming
• __Total high image quality
• __NUEDERIGER INPUT LAG

Contra

• __STARK viewing angle dependent
• __Problems at 4k 120 Hz
• __NOCH always missing VRR update

Price: approximately 800 euros at 55 inches

Sony XH9005 at MediaMarkt *

HDMI 2.1 by firmware update: The Sony XH90, which exists in different technically largely identical variants (XH9005, XH9077, XH9096), is Sony's only 4K TV from 2020, which offers HDMI-2.1 support. While 120 fps at 4K has already been released by a firmware update, you must wait for the HDMI 2.1 features VRR and ALLM but still on another update. In addition, 4k 120 Hz and a color resolution of Chroma 4: 4: 4 can come to blurred images. Such problems are not available in competitors such as the OLED TVs of LG.

Very good picture: The image quality of the Sony XH90 is very good, not least thanks to Full Array Local Dimming and the high contrast of the VA panel. The latter is even higher than the more expensive XH95, but only because it sacrifices the contrast in favor of a coating that reduces viewing angle dependence. In the peak brightness, the XH90 reaches a good value with almost 740 cd / m2 for its price range, but is not entirely on the level of high-end LEDs.

Otherwise nothing to complain about: Pretty well cuts the Sony XH90 at input was off. This is about 15 ms at 60 Hz and about 7 ms at 120 Hz, even without VRR. Through the firmware update, these numbers could further improve, if it comes ever. Otherwise, there is hardly anything to criticize. The Android-based operating system running, unlike a few years ago, very reliable and is easy to use. The selection of apps is great.

Conclusion: That Sony undergo such mistakes during his flag-PS5 TV and works HDMI 2.1 only restricted, is already pretty embarrassing. Therefore, we did not think that we would still make him a year after appearing to the mid-range buy recommendation. But the picture quality is excellent for the now strong price and the Sony XH90 is a good gaming TV despite his quirks. In addition, the old competitors from 2020 are now largely sold out, but the new 2021 but still too expensive. Not least because of this, the Sony XH90 currently offers the best price-performance ratio.

Our low-budget buying tip: Samsung AU8079

Per

• __NUEIGRIGER INPUT LAW, also outside the gaming mode
• __ improved color representation
• __Total good picture quality for the price range

Contra

• __Ontrast slightly lower than the predecessor
• __STARK viewing angle dependent

Price: approx 630 Euro (55 inches)

Samsung AU8079 at Mediamarkt *

Less contrast, better colors: The Samsung AU8079 from 2021 is the successor to the TU8079. Although he relies on a VA panel as the model from the previous year, the contrast is no longer so high, but of course still much better than in televisions with IPS technology. This is the AU8079 viewing angle-dependent. In the color representation, AU8079 has improved significantly compared to its predecessor and is also superior to the cheaper AU7179. In addition, the peak brightness is a little higher (approx. 325 instead of 310 cd / m2 in HDR).

The usual restrictions: Nevertheless, the brightness is quite low compared to more expensive models, as usual with low-budget TVs. In addition, in this price range you get only a 60 Hz display and no HDMI 2.1. In the operating system, however, there are hardly any differences to more expensive models from Samsung, here as there is the reliable and quite comfortable Ties 6.0 for use. A small special feature of the AU8079: The model is available in eight different sizes, from 43 to 85 inches.

Also outside the gaming mode Little INPUT LAG: The input was in gaming mode increased slightly compared to the TU8079, from almost 10 to about 11 ms. But that is still a very good value. The special feature: The AU8079 was also a low input outside the gaming mode, which may be acceptable to play depending on the settings and personal taste. In gaming mode, all unnecessary image improvement programs are usually switched off. This is not necessarily necessary for the AU8079.

Conclusion: The Samsung AU8079 is like its predecessor a good 4K TV for moderate price. Of course, expensive high-end features may not expect, but still offers at least satisfactory quality in all areas and is good for film and television as well as for gaming. Compared to the Samsung TU8079, despite the lower contrast, he cuts a little bit better overall.
