However, in the face of the growing needs of gamers, whether LED display screens should have more professional gaming performance has become a question that needs to be answered.
1. What is gaming performance?
Gaming performance refers to the comprehensive performance of a game during operation, which is directly related to the player’s gaming experience. Specifically, gaming performance can include the following aspects:
1). Graphics processing capability
Resolution: The higher the resolution, the clearer the picture, but it also requires higher graphics card performance support. High resolution can provide more delicate picture details, making the game world more realistic.
Frame rate (FPS): FPS refers to the number of screen updates per second, which is an important indicator for measuring the smoothness of the game. High frame rate can reduce screen freezes and tearing, and improve the smoothness and response speed of the game.
Graphics rendering technology: such as ray tracing, HDR (high dynamic range), etc. These technologies can enhance the lighting effects, color performance, and detail level of the game screen and improve the visual effects of the game.
2). System resource usage and optimization
CPU and GPU utilization: The game needs to occupy a certain amount of CPU and GPU resources during operation. Efficient resource utilization can reduce jamming and delays, and improve the stability and smoothness of the game.
Memory usage: Sufficient memory can ensure that the game will not jam or crash due to insufficient memory during operation.
Optimization degree: The degree of optimization of the game by the game development team will also directly affect the performance of the game. Good optimization can reduce resource usage, increase frame rate, reduce delay, etc.
3). Network performance
Latency: Latency refers to the time difference between the player’s operation and the response of the game server. Low latency can ensure that the player’s operation can be quickly fed back, improving the real-time and competitive nature of the game.
Bandwidth: Sufficient bandwidth can ensure the smoothness of game data transmission and reduce jamming and disconnection.
Stability: A stable network connection can reduce interruptions and delay fluctuations during the game and improve the overall performance of the game.
4). Display device performance
Refresh rate: Refresh rate refers to the number of times a display can update the screen per second. A high refresh rate can reduce screen tearing and stuttering, and improve the smoothness and response speed of the game.
Response time: Response time refers to the time difference between the display receiving the signal and displaying the screen. Short response time can reduce the screen ghosting phenomenon, making the game screen clearer and smoother.
Color performance: Good color performance can enhance the realism and visual impact of the game screen.
2. Special requirements of games for LED displays
- Low latency and high refresh rate
In the field of games, players have extremely high requirements for instant feedback on operations and the smoothness of pictures. Low latency means that the time interval between the player inputting the command and the screen displaying the result is extremely short, which is directly related to the player’s operation response speed.
In fast-paced games, such as shooting games or racing games, low latency can ensure that every player’s operation can be quickly fed back, thereby improving the competitiveness and immersion of the game.
On the other hand, gamers also pursue a high refresh rate. Refresh rate refers to the number of times the screen updates the screen per second, usually in Hertz (Hz). Traditional monitors are mostly 60Hz, while high-end gaming monitors generally support 120Hz, 144Hz, or even higher refresh rates.
High refresh rates can significantly reduce screen tearing and stuttering, making the game screen smoother and more natural. In scenes of high-speed movement or fierce fighting, high refresh rates can ensure that players can clearly see every detail so as to make more accurate judgments and reactions.
- Color and contrast
The game scenes are diverse, from dark dungeons to bright outdoor battlefields, from gorgeous magic effects to realistic physical collisions, all of which require the display to have excellent color reproduction and contrast. Color reproduction refers to the ability of the display to accurately present various colors in the game, while contrast refers to the brightness difference between bright and dark parts.
High color reproduction and high contrast can make the game screen more realistic and vivid and enhance the player’s visual experience. Especially in some games that require fine observation, such as puzzle games or strategy games, the accuracy of color and contrast is even more important.
- Resolution and viewing angle
High resolution is essential for the performance of game details. With the continuous advancement of game engines and the increasingly exquisite game screens, high resolution has become a standard configuration for modern games.
High resolution can provide more pixels to present picture details, making the textures, lighting, and special effects in the game more delicate and realistic. This not only improves the visual effects of the game but also allows players to see distant enemies and subtle changes in the scene more clearly.
In addition, wide viewing angle design is also an important feature of gaming displays. Wide viewing angle ensures that players can get consistent color and brightness performance when viewing the screen at different angles, thereby improving the multi-person viewing experience.
In e-sports competitions or home entertainment, a wide viewing angle design allows viewers to watch the game or game screen more comfortably, enhancing overall viewing and interactivity.
- Synchronization and compatibility
Synchronization technologies in game displays (such as NVIDIA’s G-SYNC and AMD’s FreeSync) play an important role in reducing screen tearing and stuttering. These technologies eliminate screen tearing and stuttering by synchronizing the refresh rate of the display with the output frame rate of the graphics card, thereby improving the smoothness and stability of the game.
In addition, the display needs to be compatible with various gaming platforms and devices (such as PCs, game consoles, mobile phones, etc.) so that players can enjoy a consistent gaming experience on different devices.
