CES 2020 News: TCL TVs first to support THX Certified Game Mode - news discussion

Well, their last attempt at a game mode certification sunk without trace, and this one is likely to do the same unless they provide the details on what they're certifying.

Although I'm struggling to think of what they could certify in a mode that'd make a meaningful difference to gaming.
 
I'm as dubious of this as I am of a "what the director intended" mode also taking over my TV settings. Most of the variation in movie PQ is with the mastering of the content once you've setup a reasonable picture mode on the TV,.
Similarly 99% of the effort in getting the "best gaming experience" is in finding the right game settings - at least with a GPU - but maybe consoles are aiming to be more plug-and-play.
 
THX Game Mode Certification doesn't delivery anything of value if you're interested in reference picture accuracy:


THX is now owned by Razer, a gaming peripherals company.
