Although it is sometimes still looked down on by certain people, the gaming industry has established itself over the last few decades as the biggest earner in entertainment. It now generates far more than the music and movie industries combined, with video games worth some $184 billion in 2022 alone. More than half of households in the U.S. now have a gaming console, and with there being so many reasons to buy an Xbox Series X or PlayStation 5 right now, knowing how to make them work best on your television is essential.
Fortunately, Samsung has gamers covered with a nifty little feature known as Game Mode. This is one of many built-in picture settings available on most Samsung smart televisions, like Movie Mode and Dynamic Mode. This display setting effectively reduces latency and dramatically improves response time. It does this by bypassing certain processors the television usually uses to improve the picture quality.
By turning on Game Mode, you’ll probably notice that there is less time between your inputs on a controller and the action on screen — something essential for multiplayer games or any titles that require fast and precise responses. Game Mode will often turn on automatically if the television detects a modern console, although it can also be turned on manually in the settings.
