Recently, Samsung's TV products began to cooperate with Xbox one X to add FreeSync mode. In 2018, new models can be realized by upgrading firmware. But at the same time, Samsung said that in FreeSync mode, the TV will only display content at 1080p resolution, which may cause the TV brightness to be abnormal randomly. However, if there is an Xbox one X, the adaptive resolution can also be tried, which can improve the feeling of fluency when the frame rate fluctuation is lower than 60fps.
What is FreeSync?
Most TVs and monitors have a set refresh rate. This means no matter what signal is received, it will always display the same number of frames per second (FPS). This is not an issue when watching TV shows or movies, but video games generate their frames in real time and create a varying number of frames per second. If the FPS does not match the fixed refresh rate of the display, you will experience stuttering or tearing. FreeSync VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) fixes all of this.
FreeSync Compatible Models
To use FreeSync, turn on Game Mode. This is turned on automatically when the selected source is identified as a game console, like Xbox One X or Xbox One S, but must be turned on manually if the selected source is identified as PC. Also, FreeSync will only function if it is supported by the connected device.
