Building The Ultimate
Gaming Set Up
Gaming is more than just a hobby. It’s an escape, a competitive outlet, and an opportunity to connect with friends and family. Whether you’re a gaming novice, expert or professional, ensuring you have the right set up is essential to your game play, and Samsung is on hand to give you the best experience possible.
Console Gaming Set Up Checklist
Console gaming often happens in the living room. Whatever your preferred console, be that PS5, Xbox, or Nintendo, you want to ensure that you have the right set up for the best solo gaming or communal gaming experience.
Comfortable
seating
Whether your gaming sessions typically last 1 hour or 4, you want to make sure that you have a comfortable set up. Whether you’re gaming from your sofa or gaming chair, you want to make sure that you have the proper lumber support.
Optimal screen size and position
If you’re a console gamer, the chances are that you’re using a TV to pair with your console. The best position for your TV is at eye level or slightly below, when seated, and straight on for the best viewing angle. When it comes to size, 40 inch to 55 inch TVs are best for solo gamers, while those who love playing with friends and family should opt for a larger 65 inch to 77 inch TVs.
Fast refresh rates and clear visuals
Higher screen resolution, higher refresh rates and low input lags are critical to ensure smoother, more responsive on-screen action and crystal-clear picture. To ensure you’re not slowed down, we recommend opting for either a Neo QLED TV or OLED TV with a refresh rate of up to 4K 240Hz¹.
Enhanced audio and surround sound
To accompany the elite visuals, maximise your experience and fully transport yourself into the game with top of the range audio. Gaming headphones are a great option for those talking to other players online, while soundbars or surround sound systems are a better option for those who have full range of your gaming space. Better yet, most Samsung TVs are already fitted with Object Tracking Sound which allows you to experience sound that moves with the action on screen.
Immersive
lighting
Fully immerse yourself with dimmed lighting around your gaming room and smart LED TV backlights, all of which you can control from your smartphone or tablet using SmartThings App or Samsung TV settings.
Minimised
clutter
Wanting to create the ultimate gaming set up while keeping to your minimalist aesthetic? Samsung One Near-Invisible Cable that lets you connect your TV to various sources, including the power cable and gaming console, through a single cable. Samsung’s Gaming Hub goes one further, by giving you the option to remove a gaming console entirely from your gaming set up, streaming games and connecting your games controller directly to your Samsung TV.
Have snacks
to hand
A long gaming session means you’ll need plenty of fuel to keep you going while you play. Check what snacks you have in the fridge, check on how your snacks are getting on in the oven, or add items to your next snack shop while sitting in your gaming space using SmartThings on your smartphone and connecting to your Samsung oven or smart fridge.
Free Sync
Premium Pro
With Certified AMD FreeSync Premium Pro™ core technology, you'll experience reduced stutter and screen tearing by syncing the frame rate of the TV with the GPU. Engineered for the most immersive and responsive experience, Samsung Neo QLED² makes super smooth, ultra crisp HDR gaming on a big screen a reality.
- ¹4K 240Hz is only available with PC connected content. Requires certain graphic card on PC and performance may vary.
- ²Applicable to QN70F and above models.
PC Gaming Set Up Checklist
PC gaming, spaces are much more versatile depending on your chosen choice of gaming machine. Those using gaming monitors often choose spaces like home offices, dedicated gaming rooms or bedrooms, while those using gaming laptops can be set up all throughout the house. Whatever your preference, you want to ensure that you have the right accessories and set up that delivers elite comfort and performance that doesn’t let you down.
Gaming desk
& chair
Whether you’re setting up a gaming station in your living room, bedroom or office, ensure that you measure the space where your gaming desk and chair will go - considering that gaming chairs are often larger than your average office chair. The most important thing to ensure is that you have the right lumber and neck support.
Headsets
and earbuds
Whether you’re looking to chat with other gamers online, block out outside noise, or get fully immersive audio, Samsung’s range of Bluetooth headphones and wireless earbuds offer incredible sound quality and comfort.
Screen size and
resolution
Whether you’re gaming from a laptop or a monitor, you’ll want to ensure you have a large enough screen size to see the action. For laptops, we recommend between 15 inch or 16 inch laptop screen size, and 27 inch or higher for monitors. The 49 Inch Odyssey G9 curved screen gaming monitor is perfect for those who love to be fully immersed.
Low response & high refresh rates
RGB
lighting
For true personalisation and immersion, RGB lighting lets you customise your gaming set up with a wide array of colours and dynamic effects.
Epic gaming
accessories
Ergonomic keyboards and mouse accessories provide you with extra comfort and personalisation for your gaming space. While additional storage, like portable SSDs, significantly enhance your gaming experience by reducing load times, improving game performance and enabling smoother gameplay.
Connect all
your devices
Samsung’s ecosystem makes it effortless to connect all your gaming devices. For example, you can sync your mobile to your Windows laptop to allow you to manage your phone’s apps, notifications and calls directly from your PC. Plus, the Galaxy Book5 Pro laptop is perfect for multitasking, letting you record gameplay, edit highlights and chat with teammates all at the same time.
Mobile Gaming Set Up Check List
For those who love to game on the go, it’s important to ensure that your gaming device has the performance and power to follow you throughout the day. Whether you’re a lover of puzzle, action, or adventure games, there are some key things to keep in mind.
Larger screen size
To ensure that you can see all the action, the bigger the screen size the better. For smartphone gamers, the Galaxy S25 Ultra is a great option for those who love a more traditional smartphone with a 6.9” screen, while the alternative Galaxy Z Fold6 offers a super large 7.6” main display mobile gaming screen size.
Long lasting battery
Portable battery packs are crucial to ensure that you’re able to keep your phone or device charged during long gaming sessions, wherever you are.
Powerful processors
High performance mobile CPUs (processor) offer a good balance of performance and power efficiency - essentially improving your overall mobile game play. Smartphones with Snapdragon processors or laptops with Core i7 processors are a great choice for those wanting a smooth gaming experience.
Large storage and memory
When downloading lots of gaming apps to your device, you want to ensure that you have high RAM (memory) and storage space. Generally, it’s recommended to opt for devices with 16GB - 64GB RAM and 512GB - 2TB storage.
Protection and comfort
When gaming on the go, ensure your devices are fully protected with screen protectors and cases.
Seamless connectivity
Pair your phone or tablet with Galaxy Buds3 Pro for a truly immersive experience, allowing you to listen to your favourite playlist whilst gaming. 360 Audio features ensure you hear sound from all angles, providing ultimate music and audio listening.
