Gaming on the LG QNED85 can be significantly enhanced by enabling Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) and Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM). These features help reduce screen tearing and input lag, providing a smoother gaming experience. This guide walks you through the steps to activate these settings on your LG QNED85 TV.
Understanding VRR and ALLM
Before diving into the setup, it’s useful to understand what these features do:
- VRR (Variable Refresh Rate): Synchronizes the TV’s refresh rate with the frame rate of your gaming console or PC, reducing tearing and stuttering.
- ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode): Automatically switches the TV to low latency mode when a compatible device is detected, minimizing input lag.
Preparing Your Devices
Ensure your gaming device supports VRR and ALLM. Most modern gaming consoles like the Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5 support these features. Also, verify that your HDMI cables are High-Speed HDMI or HDMI 2.1 compatible for optimal performance.
Enabling VRR and ALLM on LG QNED85
Follow these steps to activate VRR and ALLM on your LG QNED85:
Access the Settings Menu
Press the Settings button on your remote or navigate to the Settings icon on the home screen.
Navigate to the All Settings
Scroll down and select “All Settings” or “Advanced Settings” depending on your menu layout.
Open the General Settings
Within the menu, find and select “General” or “Additional Settings.”
Enable HDMI Ultra HD Deep Color
Locate the “HDMI Ultra HD Deep Color” setting. Turn it on for the HDMI port connected to your gaming device. This setting is necessary for VRR and ALLM to function properly.
Activate VRR and ALLM
Scroll to the “HDMI Settings” or “Additional Settings” section. Here, you should see options for “VRR” and “ALLM.” Enable both options by toggling them on.
Verifying the Settings
Once enabled, connect your gaming console or PC via HDMI. Turn on your device and start a game. Check the on-screen display or your device settings to confirm VRR and ALLM are active. You should notice smoother gameplay with reduced tearing and latency.
