What is the VIDAA smart platform?

How do I reduce lag when gaming?

Ensure 'Game Mode' is enabled in the picture settings menu to minimize input lag.

Troubleshooting

The screen is tilted, but the image looks distorted.

Ensure the TV is set to 'Direct' or '1:1' pixel mapping in the aspect ratio settings if using as a computer monitor.

Streaming apps are buffering constantly.

Restart your router and check the connection status in the network settings. Ensure the TV is on the latest firmware version.
