    For gaming probably HDMI 2.1 for higher frame rates, VRR, and/or 40fps with ray tracing and whatnot.

    But in general…not really. I just got a new tv for these features plus it having a brighter oled panel than my last one. But at this point I imagine I’ll have this tv for years and years.

      For gaming you are better off with a proper monitor.

        Not if I want to play on a giant screen in my living room on my couch with proper, nice surround sound.

          And most TVs will work just fine for that.

            I wasn’t arguing most TVs weren’t ok for that.

            But as an answer for if there were any “killer features” in TVs for the last few years, better inputs and panel refresh rates are about the best new things outside of brighter OLEDs.

              I was playing devil’s advocate to that, implying they are not killer features. TV gaming is generally consoles, which are all 60fps in 99% of cases anyway.

              TVs with actual new panels or features are far too expensive for people to consider, when their current ones already do the job.
