What is AMD Freesync?

Freesync is AMD’s version of adaptive synchronisation. This innovative technology delivers dynamic refresh rates by syncing the displays Variable Refresh Rates (VRR) with the GPU’s frame rate

Whilst Freesync has been available on Gaming Monitors for quite some time, in recent years it has become more widely available on TV’s, allowing more gamers to enjoy the beauty of smooth and fluid gaming.

How can Freesync on Samsung TV’s improve gaming?

Whilst most TV’s static framerate is absolutely fine for movies and TV shows, when it comes to gaming it can be a slight issue. This is because games can generate their frames in real-time, resulting in a varying number of frame rates. What’s wrong with this? Well, the issue arises when the FPS (frames per second) doesn’t match the rate of the display, as this can result in the dreaded stutter or tearing.

Tearing is something many of us will be familiar with, this is when a tear is created in the screen as the display begins to show the next frame whilst the current frame is still on half of the screen.

Stuttering, on the other hand, can appear as a stuttered or juddered image as the same frame is displayed more than once.

AMD’s Freesync is an excellent solution to this, as it offers an incredibly smooth and sharp gaming experience, by matching the VRR and ensuring each frame generated is sent instantly to the display, which will only show when it’s ready.

This means you can enjoy a more immersive gaming experience thanks to incredibly smooth visuals that are consistent throughout the game!

How do I turn on Freesync on my Samsung TV?

To use Freesync with an AMD compatible device, simply switch to ‘Game mode’ on your TV. If you’re connected to a PC, you will have to switch this on manually through the settings. This is made quick and easy through the home bar where you can navigate to the quick settings menu and simply switch it to game mode.

However, if you’re gaming on a console such as the Xbox series X/S, your Samsung Smart TV should identify the device and automatically switch to Game Mode. Just make sure you’ve enabled VRR in your console settings too!

Encrypted Data Storage vs Traditional Data Storage

If you run a business, you may have large amounts of important data and files that need to be kept secure and confidential. So what’s the best way to keep this data safe? You need secure storage devices! A recent survey conducted by iStorage Ltd, found that some businesses may be at risk, with two thirds of data being stored on unencrypted storage devices. iStorage Ltd is an award-winning company and trusted global leader in PIN-authenticated, hardware-encrypted data storage and cloud encryption devices. Their research into data security found that 99% of people consider data security to be a necessary practice, but only 5% are following advice from the National Cyber Security Centre on data storage and backup. Not storing and backing up data with secure methods is causing a vast majority of data, and the businesses storing this data, to become vulnerable. Because of this, it's important to let businesses know about the importance of using encrypted storage methods, over tradit...
