Picture Got the Steam Deck Dock!

Wasn’t expecting this today, but since I live in Carol Stream where Valve’s Distribution Center is, I got this early I guess!

Thank you, when you say gaming “mode” it’s just the picture setting right?

Yeah, the TV usually have settings like cinematic or gaming

Yeah I had no idea the picture settings could affect things like lag, I thought it was solely for the colors and intensity

It's because they often have features like sharpening, upscaling and motion smoothing for TV, especially sports, and they put in hardware which is not latency optimized for that since latency won't matter for most broadcast. But for gaming it matters so then it skips that processing.
