What are the best gaming TVs to buy in the UK?
Our top pick for Gaming TVs in the UK is the Hisense 43E78STUK PRO 43 Inch Hi-QLED 144Hz 4K Smart TV.
The Hisense 43E78STUK suits gamers who want a 43-inch 4K screen with a native 144Hz Game Mode, VRR 144Hz, AMD FreeSync Premium, Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, plus a 2 year manufacturer warranty on the listing.
The Hisense 43E78STUK PRO Hi-QLED TV is our top pick among gaming TVs because its listing states a native 144Hz Game Mode with VRR 144Hz, AMD FreeSync Premium, Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, a built-in subwoofer and a 2 year manufacturer warranty. For a big screen, the TCL 85T8C-UK lists an 85-inch 4K QLED with Dolby Vision, HDR 10+ and Onkyo 2.1 sound; for OLED, the LG OLED48B65LA lists 120Hz with VRR 120Hz.
This guide compares five 4K gaming TVs from Hisense, TCL, LG and Haier, using what each listing states: screen size, refresh rate, gaming features such as VRR, ALLM and HDMI 2.1, HDR formats, sound and warranty. Screens run from 43 inches (Hisense) to 85 inches (TCL 85T8C-UK), and four of the five listings give a figure of 120Hz or more (on the Haier K85GUF, a 120Hz* DLG Accelerator); the TCL 50V6D-UK gives none.

Our process
How do we choose our picks?
We don’t lab-test products ourselves. Instead we synthesise current Amazon UK listings and published specs into clear, honest recommendations. We earn a commission if you buy through our links, but that never changes which products we rank.
Current UK availability
We check each pick against live Amazon UK catalogue data rather than last year’s model lists. Stock moves fast, so a listing can sell out after we publish.
Published specs
We compare manufacturer specifications so each pick is right for a real budget and use-case.
UK-specific fit
We factor in UK voltage and plug/fitting standards — details that generic global lists miss.

HDMI 2.1 appears on two listings, the TCL 50V6D-UK and the Haier K85GUF, and ALLM only on the TCL 50V6D-UK; the Hisense, TCL 85T8C-UK and LG listings mention neither in the features we read. The TCL 85T8C-UK gives two refresh figures (144Hz and Real 147Hz), the Haier marks its 120Hz with an asterisk it does not explain, and the TCL 50V6D-UK states no refresh rate.
Our Take
As a default, pick the Hisense 43E78STUK: a native 144Hz Game Mode, VRR 144Hz, AMD FreeSync Premium, Dolby Vision and a 2 year manufacturer warranty on the listing. For HDMI 2.1 with ALLM and VRR, the TCL 50V6D-UK; for an OLED panel, the LG OLED48B65LA with 120Hz and VRR 120Hz.
