ALLM: everything you need to know about Auto Low Latency Mode

If you're a gamer, you need ALLM in your life – here's how you get it

Traditionally, you would have had to manually switch Game Mode on when playing a game in order to get the best performance possible, then manually switch it off afterwards to get the best picture for movies and TV, but ALLM makes such inconveniences a thing of the past.

ALLM doesn't simply activate every time you turn on your console, either: it's intelligent enough to differentiate between playing a game and watching a movie via a streaming app or Blu-ray, even if you use your Xbox for all of those things.

I'm going to have to enable this for sure. My tv is ok, but I've noticed some input lag.

My LG C9 enabled low lantency mode automatically with PS5 even before this update.

So does my Samsung, since I set it to. All this does is turn on game mode? I suppose it may be of use to people who use the PS5 to watch YouTube or Films, as game mode can cause slight picture deterioration, but otherwise it's a bit unnecessary imho

Mine goes to Game Mode, and i get one of those annoying LGThinQAI™ pop ups saying, "Instant Game Response" or somthing like that is enabled/launched.

I've recently started streaming Crunchyroll via the PS5 (why the f**** LG doesn't have an app?), so I will have to leave it on. But it's nice to have the option.

I have a C9 too... hope mine did the same.

They all did that before this update, the issue is, you can't use BFI with ALLM on, so they made a manual toggle so you can disable it to use BFI.

So what's stopping me from using my JCB, to visit DFS while I'm at it? Too many abbreviations for FS.

More like FML am I right? LMFAO GTFO.

PS: BFI = Black Frame Insertion.

It is already Auto to everybody in PS5.... I believe two firmware ago it was implemented... it was before the VRR firmware.
But people complained that could not disable it... the LG TV for example see the signal and auto enable it.

Now Sony added a toggle to disable it that helps with use of other features too like BFI.
