Competitive edge for the gamer

Playing games can get pretty intense, and avid gamers like beauty queen Megan Young value immersion to get in the zone. “You really feel like you’re in the game when you have good visuals and surround sound,” Megan explained. “There are some games where sound is so important because you need to know if yung kalaban mo nandiyan lang sa katabi. When it comes to the visuals, kailangan makita mo rin yung movement.”

Megan shared that the similarity between competing in Miss World and playing games is the determination to win. For the latter, it’s important to have a device like the Neo QLED TV that can get her to first place. With Gamebar 2.0, this built-in platform lets users instantly adjust settings, such as input lag, FPS (frames per second), screen position, and more for optimal gaming. Super Ultrawide GameView also lets them customize the aspect ratio to give greater field of vision, so they can see more of their virtual surroundings.

For the best performance, Motion Xcelerator Turbo+ provides 120Hz refresh rate on both 4K and 8K TVs. This ensures that the screen doesn’t lag or stutter, guaranteeing smooth gameplay and giving users the competitive edge they need to win.

Whether one is playing on a PC or console, Megan swears by the Neo QLED TV’s ability to bring games to life on the screen. “Gaming is all about the details – being able to see the fine details… and the new Neo QLED TV makes the whole experience greater for me,” she said.
