UN65RU8000
Best mid range television for console gamers seeking smooth motion performance.
This is a reliable workhorse for casual viewers who prioritize smooth motion and gaming responsiveness over the deep, inky blacks of high-end OLEDs. It delivers a vibrant, bright picture that holds up well in sunlit living rooms, making it a sensible choice for everyday entertainment rather than a dedicated home theater experience.
