The use of OLED screens provides greater enjoyment of video games, in theory. But in practice, it can also cause image problems.
They are used in gaming laptops, monitors and televisions, becoming a double-edged sword. As explained by the expert Josep Roca, from the specialized portal Hard Zone, One of the main causes of problems on OLED screens is gaming at 30 FPS.
The current OLED panels are created for a refresh rate of at least 60 Hz, and if the games work at a lower resolution, image problems are generated.
Hard Zone indicates that there are three problems:
- The blur when moving the camera in games. The example he gives is the difference between testing a title at 30 FPS on an OLED screen and then at 60 FPS.
- nausea. Yes, the pressure on the eyes from playing at 30 FPS on an OLED screen is tremendous, causing that feeling.
- The greatest coarseness of motion effects, due to the long time between frame and frame, in addition to the shorter change time in the value of the pixels on OLED screens.
How to improve the experience of using OLED screens in video games?
But Hard Zone proposes five solutions to these problems, in order to optimize quality:
- Wear DLSS, XeSS, FSR or any technology that increases the average number of frames per second for PC.
- In the options, lower the quality of the visual elements in the game, up to 60 FPS.
- do not activate frame interpolation in the TV options.
- Activate the Black Frame Insertion (BFI) to avoid the problem of OLED screens running at 30 FPS, which creates an intermediate frame between one and the other at high speed.
- Change to 60 FPS mode on console.
