What is 'Game Mode'?

Posted December 11, 2012 11:11 AM

Alternatively, you could just get a plasma screen tv, or (ideally) a CRT television. Only thing with lag is LCD, but most people are so numb to it that it doesn't even matter anymore

Alternatively if you want a proper interactive entertainment centre where you can also play games, set up your computer in your lounge and connect a TV decoder.

The TV as a complete entertainment and games centre just isn't there yet.

No, I am aware. Thinking back I could have worded the last post a little better.
