Generally speaking game mode on TV disables various video processing effects that generally don't help when playing games, and require that the TV delay video by a frame or more do the processing and causing lag.

What processing gets disabled and what processing still remains varies from TV to TV so how much this ends up solving lag issues also varies. Having a display running at Hz, Hz or anything other than what your PC is driving the TV at usually 60 Hz is actually potentially worse for lag, as the TV needs to do additional processing to create the additional interpolated frames.

Not all hdtvs are made the same though, it's sort of a gamble, however if it works, then it works great. No it won't fry your gpu, it outputs p dispite the size of the display, your gpu doesn't know how big your display is.

I'm currently testing out a Hannspree 25 in TV as a monitor. So far no problems. Well except that the computer can't shut it off. I haven't noticed any type of lag though. Please Log In to post.
