Having tested hundreds of TVs over the years, I know firsthand how devastating bad input lag can be when timing a parry or dodging an attack. Back in May, the Samsung S95H ($3,399.99 for 65 inches) earned our first PCMag Lab Award for lowest input lag. Since then, two far more affordable contenders have stepped into the ring: the Hisense U6SF Pro ($1,099 for 65 inches) and the Roku Pro Series OLED ($1,199.99 for 65 inches).
