No one will blame you for missing a headshot because of screen lag or having your perfectly performed combo thrown off by screen stutter.
The world of gaming has improved in almost every aspect, be it speed, sharpness, or immersion. And it requires a modern TV that can keep up.
Addison’s HDMI 2.1 claims to solve this issue. Battle in Call of Duty on your PS5, drift round corners in Forza on your Xbox Series X, or race frames on your high-end gaming PC. HDMI 2.1 isn’t just another port. From the smoothest motion to ultra-low input lag, HDMI 2.1 frees the console from restrictions, enabling multi-demanded performance features gamers are used to.
Features like ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode) and VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) not only enhances the aesthetic aspects of gaming, but also improves reaction time, smoothness of movement, and the level of immersion for every split second.
With Haier M80F Mini LED TVs with HDMI 2.1 support, Indian gamers can enjoy elite level living room responsiveness.
So, before jumping into that next match or switching on the latest AAA title, ask yourself whether your screen is an asset towards winning, or a hindrance.
In this article, we explain how exactly HDMI 2.1 enhances console and PC gaming, as well as why it is crucial for effortless and high-paced gaming to be done in 2025.
The Upgrade Gamers Have Been Waiting For
If screen lag has resulted in missing a headshot, or stuttered display obliterating precisely executed combos, the experience is far from unique. Gaming today is faster, sharper, and more immersive than ever before, but displays better keep up.
That’s where HDMI 2.1 comes in. Whether you’re shooting in the heat of battle in Call of Duty on your PS5, gliding through curves in Forza on your Xbox Series X, or racing frame rates on your gaming PC, HDMI 2.1 does more than offer a new port—it’s the revolutionary new link between your console and a next-gen experience. From buttery smooth motion to ultra-low input lag, HDMI 2.1 offers precision features that gamers have needed for ages.
Think of it as a complete overhaul for your entire setup, and without the need to change your console or purchase new games. ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode) and VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) change the standard metrics of game quality, they improve the speed of your response, the seamlessness of every movement, and the depth of immersion in each moment. Now, Indian gamers can enjoy HDMI 2.1 compliance on the Haier M80F Mini LED TVs which grants them top-of-the-line responsiveness right from their sofas.
Think about it for a moment before diving into another round of your favorite online game: Is your screen pushing you closer to victory or setting you back?
What Is HDMI 2.1 and Why It Matters
Modern gaming needs cutting-edge technology because it runs on an accelerating pace and consists of crystal-clear resolutions. That is why the latest addition in HDMI technology, dubbed HDMI 2.1, has made history by accepting much more data at a time than previous versions. The newer versions of HDMI allow for reduced lag and much smoother 4K gaming at higher frame rates.
Gaming enthusiasts surely love the stunningly smooth and tear-free visuals given by VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) and lower lag latency through ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode). The HDMI 2.1 even has eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel) compatibility. The latter allows high quality audio signals to resonate with sound systems. By pouring all this HDMI 2.1 allowed gamers to have ultra-responsive and immersive gameplay and greatly reduced lag and tare providing everything players needed to richly enjoy the latest games and earn full treatment.
Key HDMI 2.1 Features Gamers Will Love
Let’s take a look at how HDMI 2.1 improves the gaming experience for each platform.
1. ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode) – Zero Delay, Pure Focus
As you jump into gaming, your television will automatically switch into low latency mode with ALLM enabled. This feature works very well on both the PS5 and Xbox Series X as it makes sure that there are no delays between screen actions and controller inputs.
For PC Gamers: Feel the adrenaline in racing, first-person shooter, and competitive games with instant responsiveness.
ALLM allows your TV to cut off any nonessential processes like motion smoothing that don’t add any value during gameplay sessions for speed, resulting in faster response time, more control, and reduced lag.
2. VRR (Variable Refresh Rate)
VRR eliminates one of the most annoying problems in gaming: screen tearing and stuttering. It works by syncing your TV’s refresh rate to your console or GPU’s frame rate in real-time.
- Imagine this: You’re driving at 200 km/h in a racing game, and your frame rate dips mid-corner. Normally, you’d see tearing or blur. With VRR, that motion stays fluid and clean.
- Result: A consistently smooth picture, even during hectic moments.
Haier’s M80F Mini LED TVs offer VRR support, making high-octane action seamless across titles like God of War Ragnarok, Cyberpunk 2077, or Valorant.
3. eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel)
With eARC, the uncompressed, high-quality audio is brought from the TV into a sound system. Be it a home theatre or a soundbar, eARC makes sure that there is no lag or damage to soundtracks, effects, and dialogue.
Why it matters: The modern games integrated sound as part of the movie. You can hear footsteps behind you, bullets whizzing by, and thunderous engines all in awe of crisp detail.
The result: Surround sound experience without lagging behind the action.
Add Dolby Atmos and KEF tuned audio on Haier M80F, you will receive the level of gaming audio which can outdo the experience in a movie theatre.

Combined with HDMI 2.1, it’s a dream combo for racers, shooters, and sports lovers.

- Screen Multi Window Resizer: Screen becomes movable and resizable to whatever dimensions one prefers.
- Multiple Game Picture Modes: These are from Ultra Settings of FPS to Ultra hardcore settings of RTS, RPG, and Racing.
This level of customizations helps one dominate to any level of difficulty for any genre of games.
9. Immersive Sound: KEF + Dolby Atmos + Subwoofer
Without equally robust sound fitted for visuals, sound tuned over 3 times stronger will be unsupported.
- KEF Tuning: Clear speech, strong background vocals, vibrating bass, and other frequencies, avoiding overpowering needs of the frequencies.
- Dolby Atmos: Sounds such as footsteps and explosions become much richer and powerful. Stay a step ahead and hear where the enemies are before you even spot them.
- 2.1ch with Subwoofer: The soothing music you listen to becomes more powerful alongside the subtle footsteps, making the experience feel entirely different.
