How to Enable PC Mode on TCL TV to reduce input LAG or Delay (Best Method)
0"PC Mode" and "Game Mode" on TCL TVs are designed to reduce input lag, which is the delay between your input (e.g., pressing a button on a controller or keyboard) and the action appearing on the screen. While they are similar in their goal, "Game Mode" is the more common and generally preferred setting for gaming consoles. "PC Mode" is often used specifically for when a computer is connected, as it can optimize the display for a computer monitor experience.
Here's the best method to enable these low-latency modes on a TCL TV with Google TV:
The Best Method: Using "Game Mode" and ALLM
For most modern TCL Google TVs, the easiest and most effective method is to use the dedicated "Game Mode" or the "Game Master" feature. This will automatically manage the settings for you, especially with consoles that support ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode).
Connect your gaming device (PC, Xbox, PlayStation) to an HDMI port on your TCL TV.
Press the Settings button (the gear icon) on your remote.
Navigate to Channels & Inputs or System.
Look for and select an option like "Game Master" or "Gaming Settings."
If available, enable the "Game Master" feature. This should automatically put the TV into its lowest-latency mode when it detects a gaming signal.
If your TV doesn't have the "Game Master" menu, you can still manually set the picture mode to "Game" for the connected input.
Switch to the HDMI input where your PC or console is connected.
Press the Settings button on your remote.
Go to Picture settings.
Select "Picture Mode" and choose the "Game" option from the list.
What about "PC Mode"?
Some older TCL TVs or specific models may have a dedicated "PC Mode" that can be enabled by renaming the HDMI input. This can be particularly useful for ensuring a proper 4:4:4 chroma subsampling for sharper text when using the TV as a computer monitor.
To do this:
Navigate to the Input settings in the TV's menu.
Select the HDMI input your PC is connected to.
Find an option to "Rename" the input and choose "PC" from the list of options.
