TechRadar author Matt Bolton compares gaming TVs across multiple price tiers based on the publication's testing with an Xbox Series X, a Leo Bodnar 4K HDMI Input Lag tester, and calibration tools. The author names the LG C5 as the top overall choice for its four HDMI 2.1 ports, 144Hz refresh rate, and 9.2ms measured input lag, while highlighting the Sony Bravia 8 for PS5 owners and the Hisense U7N and U6N for budget-conscious US buyers. According to the source, buyers should weigh drawbacks such as average built-in audio on the LG C5, only two HDMI 2.1 ports on Sony models, and the lack of 120Hz support on the entry-level Hisense U6N.
