Many players struggle with input lag, even on modern TV's — but most issues are easily fixed with simple TV settings. Check the below topics to improve your input lag and enjoy your games even more.
1. Turn On Game Mode
Most modern TV support a Game Mode. Use this as it eliminates post-processing and reduces input-lag drastically.
2. Disable Lag-Adding Features
Turn off any other fancy post-processing features your TV supports like:
- Motion interpolation
- Noise reduction
- AI Picture
- Dynamic Contrast
- Sharpness enhancements
- or any other picture improvement feature
3. Prefer Wired Controllers
Use wired (USB) controllers to get lowest latency.
4. Use the right HDMI port
Not all ports support 4K 60Hz. Check your TVs manual to ensure you use the right HDMI port.
5. Use a Quality HDMI Cable
Don't use the cheapest or oldest HDMI cable. Use a quality high-speed certified or HDMI 2.1.
6. Use Lightweight Shaders
Heavy shaders add processing time. Depending on your systems performance, avoiding heady shaders improve input lag.
