r/4kTV on Reddit: 40”-43” TV for gaming
December 7, 2023 -

Anyone have suggestions for a 40”-43” TV that will mostly be used for retro gaming? I have an LG C1 65” for my main TV, but this is for a smaller TV in my bedroom. I know about the LG C3 but it’s a big expense (which is OK if there isn’t anything else) and it doesn’t support every video mode I’d like to have or component video. (Which would be nice, but again, not 100% necessary.) It 100% DOES need to have quick response time.

Anyone have suggestions?

Looking to snag a 40 inch screen of some sort. I can get a Vizio TV for about $350 that's 40 inch, but the reviews are mixed. What are your recommendations for 40 inch (or bigger) panels at under $400? More on forum.level1techs.com

40”-43” TV for gaming
42" C3 and 43" QN90C are the only good ones at that size. You'd maybe be fine with X85K if you can still find one. More on reddit.com

What's the best size for a gaming TV?
The best size TV for gaming depends on the type of game being played, as well as the type of experience you want.

For example, if you often host multiplayer game parties with friends and family, then a big-screen TV would be great choice for giving a full view for all your guests. If you want to immerse yourself into a single-player game, then a moderately-sized TV will do just as well, as long it has the proper specs like a high refresh rate and low input lag.

With advanced technological features, Samsung S95F is designed to provide a seamless gaming experience with incredible immersion, no matter the size of the screen.

What type of TV is good for gaming?
All Samsung OLED, QLED, and Neo QLED displays are great for gaming, but each offers unique advantages. Samsung S95F delivers deep contrast, dark blacks, high refresh rates and ultra-low response times, making it ideal for immersive, fast-paced gameplay. Samsung QLED TVs stand out with their vibrant colors and high brightness, making them well-suited for gaming in daylight. Samsung Neo QLED TVs take it a step further by using Mini LED technology to produce pure whites and enhanced contrast, making them an excellent choice for gaming and watching sports.

November 26, 2025 - You're here to look at the best 42- and 43-inch TVs, but should you actually buy one? As mentioned, 40-inch TVs are a rarity these days, but we think most people consider 42- and 43-inch TVs to be essentially the same. TVs this size certainly have a place in smaller living rooms and second rooms such as bedrooms and 'snugs', and they can even serve as desktop gaming monitors if you're that way inclined.

November 24, 2025 - Budget shoppers: If you want a great-looking TV that can keep up with your games without spending a lot of money, the U65QF is the best choice. It punches far above its weight class for its price, with the refresh rate and low input lag you're looking for. ... The LG Evo C5 is a simply excellent OLED TV with a great-looking picture, which you can usually find for a reasonable price. Its official MSRP ($2,699.99 for 65 inches) might be daunting, but we haven't seen it for more than $2,000 since the summer, and it's more often well under $1,500.
