01. Enable the appropriate game mode
Look for the display’s Game or low-latency picture preset. Naming varies by manufacturer. Extra motion processing can add delay.
02. Check the whole signal chain
Your console or PC, HDMI cable, receiver and display input all need to support the mode you want. Refer to the manuals for supported combinations.
03. Match expectations to the game
A high-refresh display does not make every title run at that rate. Where available, compare the game’s quality and performance modes.
04. Adjust picture settings deliberately
Use the console or game’s calibration screen. Avoid copying someone else’s HDR numbers: displays differ in brightness and tone mapping.
05. Keep a fallback
Write down your working settings before changing output modes. If you lose the picture, follow the device maker’s display recovery instructions.
