What is the best gaming LED TV 2014?

We recommend: What LED TV should you buy to play PS3 or XBOX?


What should have an LED TV, to play well?
The most important together with the image quality is the input lag. The input lag is the response time of the TV, the time (in milliseconds) that passes since you hit the button until Mario Bros jumps.

Input Lag:
Recommended for gamers values ​​is between 30-40ms, under that value is an excellent TV input lag. Above 40-45ms video game professionals begin to get angry.
The low-end TVs have less inputlag that high-end TVs, the technology incorporated is negative in this regard.
If you want to spend less, you have no problem with almost no low-end model, all are under 40ms. For TVs medium-high range recommend consulting our list with the values ​​of input lag of all 2013-2014 models.
Manufacturers do not publish these measures and the users and experts that make the measurements.

Image Quality 
The image quality and is quite relative because it depends in part on user preferences and each brand offers a different kind of image. Anyway there are a few parameters that can guide us about the picture quality:
Refresh Rate: The frequency of the panel. We recommend reviewing the true values​​, not CMR, BLS, ... as the "Game Mode" usually disconnect all improvements to reduce inputlag. The higher refresh rate, better picture.
Dinamyc Constrast: the more contrast, the better. Produces blacker blacks ..
Local Dimming: An extra which is included in the high-end models to enhance the contrast of different parts of the screen.

Extras: 
There are some interesting extras models: SimulView, DualPlay .. than play full screen allows two players, using glasses. Ideal for consoles shared between more than one user. Video on Dual Gamming.

What LED TV should you buy to play PS4? 
The best LED TV to play 2014, is the Sony KDL-W828B. With excellent picture and very low inputlag.

What is the best LED TV for watching sports 2014? recommendation

Among all models of LED TVs sold in 2014, we can find some that are better for watching sports than others. Our advice is that we should look to a TV that has more Hz. Be careful with false advertising panels as there are only 50Hz low end, midrange 100Hz and 200Hz high end. What Hz mean in the LED TV?
With improved Hz get images with fast movements we see correctly, avoiding the ghosting effect. This year it seems that Panasonic offers screens with more Hz, called BLS. Sony TVs fall somewhat short in this regard. The models can highlight are:
  • Midrange LB670V LG or Panasonic AS650E. The two models with real 200Hz. 
  • Highrange: Samsung H7000 is a good television in all aspects.



One of the aspects that we highlight to have the best LED TV for watching sports is the size, we believe it should be as large as possible within the recommended margins, and regularly viewed in HD. Our view is that bigger is better, even at the expense of some image quality.

What is the best LED TV for watching movies 2014

Many people want to buy the the best LED TV for watching movies, film fans looking for a TV to see where the best possible movies. All, or almost all models offer good quality for watching movies, but we recommend only the best.

One of the most important aspects is the contrast, deep blacks are necessary to watch movies in the dark. To get blacker blacks local / Micro Dimming system is used to darken areas of the TV. Although we believe that the most important is the type of panel, because the type VA provides the best contrast than IPS panels.

Another essential aspect if we want the best LED TV for watching action movies is Hz. Scenes with quick movements, look better the more Hz.
The Hz can make theater effect appears where the image looks too defined. In most models, improving Hz, can be disconnected, like the Local Dimming.

The Audio is essential to enjoy a good movie. In regards to the sound quality believe that you need to buy an external system, since only higher-end models offer more than 20W.

We always recommend bigger is better.

Which is the best Smart tv 2014? UK

The SmartTV has come to televisions to stay. Most modern TVs have an Internet connection and all the medium-high range. The SmartTV is the platform used to access the Internet TVs. Which is better Smart TV LED TV 2014? The quick answer is Samsung and LG.

To decide what's the best Smart TV, we must consider several aspects, but in general we can say that is disappointing, it is not easy to use, it is rather slow and almost never used. We do not recommend the SmartTV be the deciding factor for choosing a TV. We advise you to review our TV buying guide to choose the best LED TV 2014 for you.

The basic aspects we should look at best SmartTV are: browser, compatibility, content, usability and speed.
The browser is important when we choose our SmartTV because it allows us to access the usual websites, there are some systems that use its own browser and other common one as Opera.

  • Compatibility is as important as the browser because if there is not support Flash/HTML5 content we will not be able to view (like youtube or rojadirecta).Besides surfing the Internet, allows you to use the SmartTV apps specifically created for SmartTV, including games, video, news, youtube, or usual channels. In terms of content Samsung is clearly the ruling.
  • The easy use is very important because some platforms are too complicated to use. To improve this aspect some models include controls TouchPad, Wii style pointers ... Of all the systems seem to LG, with its new Smart Remote Control command is the easiest to use.
  • The speed will depend above all on our Internet connection, which can be wired, ethernet, if we have the router next to the TV, Wi-Fi or if the router is in another room, most SmartTV includes Wi-Fi, and TV's processor. Not the same navigate with a TV than a computer / tablet, it should be clear that the best way to navigate with our TV is to connect a laptop to the TV by HDMI.

LG SmartTV webOS:  LG takes years betting hard on the Smart TV, LG has launched a new system this year 2014, webOS, only models LG LB650V and higher. The new system is created by Firefox, this is very good and easy to use but found lack of content, but we hope that soon evolves. The best thing is your new remote control very easy to use, only included LB670V and higher.

Sony Entertainment Network: A platform for the Sony TVs to connect to the Internet. It's a little worse than Samsung and LG, although his 2014 SEM system is simple and clear, which I appreciate. The worst thing is still lacks content.

Panasonic Viera SmartTV: Panasonic has made an aesthetic arrangement to its platform and maintains a good system of Smart TV, very customizable. The worst thing you can say is that it still lacks content. It also incorporates some novelty like MyHomeScreen.

Samsung SmartTV: Samsung is the king of SmartTV, for years has the best SmartTV with much more content than its rivals, because while other brands are not convinced to incorporate SmartTV. Samsung follows the same system, but with more content and a Quad-Core processor to improve the speed. Also incorporates a touch remote control.

In addition to the Smart Internet TV allows you to control the TV with voice commands and gestures. There are also TVs that recognize us and recommend us according to our preferences, enable file sharing with the PC over Wi-Fi, ...

Difference between LG LB650V LB630V, LB620V, LB670V, .. Mid-Range 2014 series

The LG LB6000 series is the midrange SmartTV* and 3D* 2014. These models are very good value for money, but there are some important differences between the different models. The differences between the models LB620V, LB630V, LB650V, LB671V and LB670V focuses on the refresh rate, the extras, the type of SmartTV and design.

The LG LB670V and LB671V are the same and just change the design. Are the top models, the panel is 200Hz and 700Hz MCI. Another aspect which is superior to other models is the 24W audio and control webOS Standard 2014, which is included.

The LG LB630V and LB650V models are the similar, they have 100HZ panel (MCI 500Hz) and the models have the new SmartTV, but don't include the new control. The main difference is the 3D technology: The LG 3D LB630V doesn't include 3D, while the LB650V is 3D passive with glasses is included.

LG TVs are known for their good SmartTV, compatibility and quality of natural image. The Panel offers good viewing angles and televisions ideal for very bright rooms. The passive 3D is somewhat lower in definition compared to the active system, but is less annoying.

We recommend buying the top model LG LB670V if the budget allows, is the mid-range model can more often 200Hz panel, available only in high-end models of other brands.

In our opinion another very recomenable model of LG is the LG LB630V, it is probably the best Smart TV without 3D in 2014 (along with Sony W705)

Our complete reviews:

* The LB630V doesn't include 3D ​​
