Most projectors now have a game mode, so is this game mode really useful? Let's take a look at the game mode of the projector.

What is Projector Game Mode?


Game mode is mainly developed for game lovers, in order to provide projector users with a smoother gaming experience. Projector manufacturers optimize the HDMI input delay to improve the response time from operation to the game console to the projector.

To put it simply, projectors and game consoles are like a painting factory. After the game console painting is completed, it needs to be output to the projector through the wire, and then the projector will display it. This whole process takes time to complete, and this is the so-called input delay.

The game mode of projectors does work because it compresses the input time to achieve a faster response. At present, mainstream smart projector brands have controlled the input delay of HDMI in game mode within 20ms, which is very superior in projector products.

Of course, different manufacturers and different devices have different input delay effects, so the projector game mode will also have advantages and disadvantages. For now, as long as the projector's input lag is within 20ms, it's fine.

In addition, the user's usage environment also has a certain impact on the input delay. The material and length of the cable, and whether the HDMI interface has ARC or not, all affect the input delay to a certain extent.

Why? Doesn't motion compensation make the picture smoother?
MEMC motion compensation technology makes high-speed moving pictures no longer smeared and jittery. To put it simply, it is to predict the next picture for calculation. And if you open it when you are playing a game, it is nothing more than interfering with the prediction calculation.
