What does Game Mode on a TV actually do?

>> No.9602854

Reduce display lag generally, less post-processing

>> No.9602858

>>9602852
Usually turns off all the post-processing stuff like smooth motion so there's less video delay.

>> No.9602860

>>9602852
Disable some postprocessing bullshit that adds some lag to displaying frames

>> No.9602927

>>9602852
It gives autist another another box to tick on their checklist before they can play.

>> No.9603024

>>9602852
It's allows you to play games on your monitor which wouldnt be possible otherwise

>> No.9603196

all of the above

>> No.9603376

>>9602852
Turns off smoothing, "cinematic filtering" and all that other shit. Basically you wanna be playing in game mode no matter what.

Wouldn’t it be better to turn on game mode for all inputs then? Postprocessing is meme bullshit.

>> No.9603427

That's what I always do anon, yeah.

>>9603395
Yes

>>9603395
latency really doesn't matter with non-interactive media, so it shouldn't be relevant but I just do it out of simplicity and because TV filters look so fucking weird

>> No.9603526

>>9603395
Honestly ya. i dont like most of those filters

>> No.9603529

>>9603395
you can turn off motion smoothing / cinema mode without switching to game mode
it's supposed to help with latency or whatever
on my tv game mode washes out the color so i just switch to whatever preset looks best

>> No.9603624

>>9602852
Presumably, it's a one-click disable of noise reduction, deinterlacing, interpolation and other features that shortens the queue the frame needs to travel before appearing on screen. TVs can also artificially increase contrast, or try to overdrive the panel, or decrease its color fidelity by turning off spatial and temporal dithering to hide the pixel response times from the user and produce less ghosting.

>> No.9603653

>>9603395
It impacts audio quality negatively so no

>faggy (laggy) pixel response


only "filmmakermode" should be used
only "game mode" or high refresh mode should be used for hdmi gaming signals

there will still be lag
but the amount varies

>>9603395
No, input lag literally only matters for gaming and nothing else. Depending on your TV it could affect a wide number of things. Many TVs automatically enable Game-Mode or low-lag mode or whatever they call it when you are using a game console.

>> No.9603859

>>9603653
This.
Game mode does funky things to both Dolby Atmos and DTS:X on my setup.

>> No.9604076

I turn sharpness all the way down
Contrast all the way up
Brightness 40, backlight max
Tint 60/ 40
Sat 60-65
Cinema mode, game mode off
No dynamic contrast
Smooth motion, denoising, filtering on
Hdr on

lookin good

>>9603856
If the audio is routed through the same TV and is kept in sync by it. Otherwise you might have to correct the delay manually depending on the settings.

>> No.9604513

What year did they start doing all these ugly effects, and can they be turned off permanently?

>> No.9604518

yes
