: Auto low-latency / vrr grayed out vs Samsung´s game mode.

Hello,

FreeSync works by matching the frame rate with the display refresh rate, but to get such a technique to work, freeSync needs to be enabled
on both devices. It won't do anything if it's only enabled on the TV.

…LG C2 vs Xbox Series X no signal issues…turn off Auto low-latency mode on the Xbox series x…it’s conflicting with lg c2 Auto low-latency mode…

The Xbox is able to recognise the Dolby Atmos capability on the soundbar if connected directly .

However FreeSync (variable refresh rate ) is not selectable on the display and sound settings page of the Xbox X.

Free Sync is available on my Samsung Q9 and is an option in the game mode menu of the TV.

Game mode is a TV mode that allows low latency on Samsung (and other manufacturers) TV's.

My TV allows Auto Low Latency and this doesn't work when plugged directly into the soundbar (Samsung HW-N950) despite Auto Low -Latency being recognised on the Display & Sound settings page on the Xbox X. The TV will not allow this when the Xbox is plugged
into the soundbar via HDMI then into the TV by HDMI ARC.

Auto Game mode or Auto Low Latency turns on game mode while playing games but turns game mode off automatically should i use a blu ray disc for example.

So two modes made available to me by Xbox and Samsung currently don't work in tandem in the correct manner.

Hello,

VRR is supported via HDMI 2.1. The Xbox One X is the only console that has HDMI 2.1. Xbox One S has HDMI 2.0. This Fall 2020 the new Xbox Series X will also support HDMI 2.1 features like VRR, Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) and up to 120fps support.

Hi, Chris! Thank you for reaching out.

"Auto low-latency mode" allows games to switch a TV into auto low-latency mode (Game Mode).

For your reference, the following information has been quoted from an official Xbox Support article:

"Auto low-latency mode (also known as “game mode”) lets the console tell the display to change latency modes when a game is launched, and then revert after you quit a game."

"Note: Low-latency mode is achieved by the TV disabling its processing features that would otherwise introduce latency. Disabling these processing features may affect picture quality—HDR colors can appear washed out, and contrast and backlighting can appear off because of the trade-off for low latency. Turn off this feature if you don’t like the picture quality."

I tried looking up your monitor, but I can't seem to find it without its model number. My apologies.

Unless your monitor has a "Game Mode" you can enable, you will continue to see this setting grayed out.

Best regards.
