Optimize your gaming experience with your Samsung TV

Many gamers enjoy gaming in the comforts of their homes, chilling on their sofa as they take on their enemies in an adrenaline-pumping game.

Did you know that your Samsung TVs are set up with some of the industry’s best game-oriented specifications and features? With most Samsung TVs offering a refresh rate or motion rate of 120Hz, gamers can now enjoy smoother gameplay. Couple that with a lower input lag that many Samsung TV offers, gamers can be confident that the TV will deliver precisely what they need!

But beyond that, you can try several other tips and tricks on your Samsung TVs to gain a more immersive gaming experience! Let us share how you can optimize your gameplay with your Samsung TVs.

Get your Game Mode on!

If you own a Samsung Smart TV produced from 2019 onwards, chances are your TV is fitted with Game Mode. This exciting gaming feature allows for lower latency when playing video games. Generally, Game Mode is automatically activated when you connect your gaming console¹ to your Samsung TV. Based on your game and console setups, Game Mode will make its adjustments accordingly.

However, if you prefer greater gameplay control, you can manually adjust your Game Mode features to suit your gaming preferences. With your Game Mode feature set to On, you can activate your Surround Sound, and adjust your Dynamic Black Equalizer and your Game Motion Plus Settings. This enables you to create the perfect setup for your games²!

How to access Game Mode:

  • Press Home button on your remote control, then select Menu.
  • Navigate to Settings, then go to All Settings.
  • Select Game Mode Settings.
  • Choose Game Mode, and turn On.
  • When Game Mode is On, you can adjust the settings to suit your gaming preferences.

Navigating the Game Bar on your Samsung TV

The Game Bar on Samsung TVs is a newly added feature in its 2021 Neo QLED and regular QLED models to improve gameplay. The Game Bar gives you easy access to monitor your gaming performance. This includes quick access to information on your input lag, frames per second (FPS), high dynamic range (HDR), variable refresh rate (VRR), sound output, screen ratio and screen position.

With the Game Bar feature, you can conveniently change your gaming display aspect ratio, toggling between 16:9, 21:9 or 32:9, activate the Ultrawide GameView™ if needed, all without the hassle of exiting your game, or going through different menu options!

How to launch Game Bar:


  1. Ensure that your Game Mode feature is ON or on AUTO.

  2. Then press and hold the Play/Pause button on the Samsung Smart Remote to start the Game Bar.

Boosting your sound system!

What good is your gameplay if your sound system is lacking? Don’t let your sound quality affect your gaming experience. While your Samsung TV ³ is already fitted with Dolby Atmos®, which will offer you cinematic sound quality, you can enhance it further by including a Samsung Soundbar. For example, the HW-Q990B/XS has subwoofers which provides immersive surround sound that will bring your gameplay to the next level!

And to make things seamless for you, your Samsung Soundbar can automatically switch to Game Mode once your Samsung TV has Game Mode activated. How amazing is that? You don’t have to bother with all that setup and can focus on your game!
