Playing games on a TV with a non-native resolution using an AV amplifier leads to visible delays in the screen.
Playing games on a TV with a non-native resolution using an AV amplifier leads to visible delays in the screen.
your graphics card struggles with 4K at 120Hz but handles 1080p smoothly. if your tv upscales full HD to 4K, noticeable lag might appear. using avr for audio could be an option. the long cable path from controller to laptop via hdmi to av receiver can add input delay, potentially affecting responsiveness.
When using gaming or PC mode, the display should adjust at its maximum speed possible. Lag isn't a big issue as long as audio and video stay synchronized, so standard settings usually handle more work for better visuals. Turn off any interpolation or motion smoothing your TV offers—just in general. On any TV you see, does your AV receiver have HDMI ARC support? Ideally, connect your PC directly to a TV input to avoid delays from the receiver's processing.
Any high-end feature can slow down the screen display. There’s no way to disable resolution upscaling on an LG OLED TV.
Adjust the display options in the advanced settings. The internal upscaling maintains smooth performance without visible delay when the input device is set to "PC."
playing games at a non-native resolution on your screen can cause extra lag. I noticed this on Wikipedia. I compared using Steam Deck versus PC with an external monitor. The Steam Deck felt smoother, probably because it doesn’t rely on a dedicated display processor like some TVs do.
