Gaming profile

Prioritize input response and motion with either Standard or Extreme.

A profile you combine with a format

Gaming is a separate toggle, not a third picture format. Turn it on alongside Standard or Extreme. It requires Pro.

What changes

• Gaming requests up to 120 fps and keeps frames flowing while the screen is still.
• It selects Balanced picture quality to reduce color detail and prioritize responsiveness.
• Picture and frame-rate settings are managed for you while Gaming is on.
• The default pointer behavior avoids acceleration, helping keep movement consistent. Enable Pointer Acceleration if you prefer a desktop feel.

Actual frame rate depends on the host, viewer, display and connection. Higher frame rates can use more network and battery. Small colored text may look softer than with Sharp Text.

Choose the format for your connection

For gaming over Wi-Fi, start with Standard + Gaming. Try Extreme + Gaming when the connection has sustained capacity. When both devices support it, Extreme uses motion prediction to reduce repeated picture data. Busy scenes can still generate substantial traffic.

Get started

1. Open session settings and select your Picture Format.
2. Enable Gaming.
3. Play a representative scene and check Connection Stats.
4. If delay builds up, try Standard or reduce Stream Size. Change one setting at a time.

Return to desktop work

Turn Gaming off when reading, coding or using simulator interfaces. Desktop work usually benefits more from text clarity and reduced idle activity than continuously sending high frame rates.
