Playing games on your Element TV? Discover how to leverage Element’s built-in game mode to reduce lag, boost frame rates, and level up your gaming.
What is Game Mode?
Game mode is a feature found in most modern TVs that optimizes settings for gaming. When enabled, it reduces input lag, improves response time, and enhances visual performance specifically for gaming.
On Element TVs, game mode does the following:
- Reduces input lag down to 20ms, allowing faster reactions
- Increases frame rates up to 60fps for smoother graphics
- Disables unnecessary video processing for faster response
- Boosts color and contrast for enhanced game visuals
Activating Game Mode on Your Element TV
Enabling game mode on your Element TV is simple:
- Using your remote, access the main settings menu
- Navigate to “Picture” settings
- Scroll down and locate the “Game Mode” option
- Toggle Game Mode to “On“
Tip: Consider renaming the input source to “Game Console” once game mode is enabled so it automatically activates game mode whenever that input is selected.
Testing Game Mode Performance
To evaluate whether game mode is working effectively:
- Check for reduced input lag by testing side-by-side against game mode turned off
- Compare graphics quality and frame rates across different games
- Disable advanced video settings as they can override game mode benefits
Pay attention to responsiveness and overall game performance. Adjust other picture settings as needed until achieving optimal gaming experience.
