When choosing a TV there’s all kinds of buzzwords and acronyms floating around that makes it difficult to consider which to go for. While the most expensive options will usually cover all the features you might want, if you’re on a budget and want to hone in on one feature that’s going to be important for next-gen gaming, then it’s going to be what refresh rates (Hz) your TV is capable of displaying. The latest generation of consoles are now capable of running games at 120fps, but for that you’ll need a TV that can output at 120Hz. If you’re in need of an upgrade this Black Friday, then your most affordable option is the LG 55NANO866PA, a 55-inch TV that’s down to just £699 from John Lewis.
This TV has four HDMI ports, which should be plenty if you’ve got multiple consoles and other devices, though most importantly two of these are HDMI 2.1 ports, which are required to run games in 120fps, supported by both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. After 4K was introduced last generation, 120fps is the next important leap for this new generation, as this is double the frame rate of what had been possible on previous consoles, making for an even smoother gaming experience.
