Cyber Monday TV deal: This 55-inch Samsung Q70T goes to 120Hz and is only $798.

The best gaming TVs do not necessarily have to be OLED models. Some very good LCD TVs exist. Samsung's 55-inch Q70T is one of them, with a QLED panel and a fast 120 Hz refresh rate. This is also the native refresh rate and not a false rating based on image tricks that TV manufacturers tend to advertise. [They tout a 240Hz "motion rate," but as is the case with most, you will want to turn off the setting that enables this to avoid what is called the soap opera effect. Still, 120Hz is very fast and matches the GeForce RTX 30 series, Radeon RX 6000 series, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X

. This gives the Samsung Q70T enough bandwidth to handle 4K HDR games at 120Hz (if other hardware is up to the task) and supports both FreeSync and G-Sync at boot to keep the action comfortable and smooth.

I have not personally tested this model, but according to the folks at Rtings, this TV offers "very low input lag." The site also admits that, coupled with other features, this is overall a "great choice for gaming." Also, with this Cyber Monday discount, it's cheaper than ever.
