720p ok for Gaming? (1 Viewer)

I'm looking at 32 inch tvs for my son's bedroom. I need to find one that has bluetooth connectivity but in the price range I'm looking in, bluetooth only is an option on 720p sets. Will gaming still look good on a 720p tv?

I can’t imagine buying a 720p tv for gaming when budget 4K sets go for under $150

720p is what a Nintendo Switch gets undocked. But even it is 1080p docked.

And maybe a cheap Bluetooth add on takes care of that

Thanks Dave, I had looked at both of those products while doing my research. Does refresh rate play a role in gaming? That tv has a 60 refresh rate. Is that good enough for gaming?

60 Hz is fine most gaming. The newest consoles support higher and even variable framerates, which requires the newer TVs with the latest HDMI specs.
