• If you're using a TV that supports ALLM (auto low latency mode), you can adjust
ALLM settings in [Settings] > [Screen and Video] > (Video Output] > [ALLM].
• If you select [Automatic], your TV will automatically switch to low-latency mode
while plaving games.
• If you select [Off], ALLM won't be enabled, except during VRR (variable refresh
rate) output.
• This system software update improves system performance.

The update is 1.061 GB

Bring on the gifs ERA!

Is this a good thing? I seem to recall Insomniac's VRR solutions using some kind of ALLM, so curious if this is now a broad benefit

Is this the thing that John from DF complainted was missing when VRR was added?
Xbox always had an option to manualy trun on and off ALLM but in PS5 it was missing

"Adding a Demo category to the PS Store"

No? kthxbye

(I don't understand how or why they removed that when it was perfect on PS4...)

yes it's good because forced ALLM removed a lot of settings on most TV. Being able to keep VRR with ALLM off gives more possibility to tweak your set, while before it was everything or nothing.

John from DF will be very happy for this ALLM addon.

Sony is on a roll. The ALLM toggle is great for those who enjoy BFI. I've tried it. I hate that it darkens the image. I still don't get why it is helpful especially with OLED panels.

They just need to give us the option to change it to "press down or X to get to the game screen". This way they can keep it like it is right now and people who don't mind another button press can have their themes back.

Also they need to change L1/R1 to L2/R2 so that we can use L1/R1 again to get to the library faster (worked like a charm on PS4).

PS5 forcing ALLM on caused a lot of TV sets to lock out certain options. turning it off and manually selecting a TV's game mode may still allow you to select those options. i think this was something that was frustrating John from DF, who liked using BFI but found it locked out when ALLM was activated.

OMG this has been my head for so long, glad to see others who feel the same way. I have this old muscle memory of doing that on the PS4 which annoys me now because it takes me to the Media tab smh

When are we going to get support for Freesync and Gsync?
Now Sony is putting out monitors that support them.

I see. Although it seems to force ALLM on if you use VRR so- I guess for me turning it off isn't viable lol

Very nice, Sony is listening! Now how about lowering that VRR threshold to 40 Hz instead of 48 Hz? ✌️😅

Odd place to drop this question but I figured it's easier than making a new topic. Haven't been using my ps5 much lately and when updating my controllers last night I noticed shortly after one of the sticks is giving up. The codes from it won't take on the website for repairs.

So has anyone found a UK playstation support number at all? I've been looking for a good while now. I'm waiting on an email response, can find no number, and the live chat is only a bot for resetting passwords and nothing else. Ideas?

Yeah, I would have ALLM off on my TV...just so I could still turn on smoothing for certain 30fps games.

If you want to adjust certain picture settings, you don't have to go into "instant Game Response" and turn off the setting.

You can have picture settings how you want them AND use VRR.

Before you were locked out of certain settings, just to use VRR.

I look forward to getting the PS6 and having to wait for these features all over again because Sony feels the need to reinvent the wheel. Same story with the PS4.

Unfortunately that would only benefit their competitors in the TV space as their TVs only do 48-120, right? I can see them not doing it, just like they waited to add VRR until their own TVs had it.

So ALLM just switches your TV automatically into Game mode when triggered, right?

So if your console is assigned to a specific HDMI with Game mode settings applied to that port then it's not necessary…? (Unless you want different sets of settings for Game and Media apps on the same port…??)
