Thanks to frame rate matching, streaming content from Netflix and Co. can always be played smoothly and without stuttering on your Fire TV. We’ll show you how to activate the function.
Are you watching an otherwise brilliant 4K stream on your Fire TV and notice that the camera movement stutters strangely or actors move unnaturally across the screen? The simple explanation: If the stuttering in your stream is not due to a weak internet connection, the problem may be the playback of an incorrect frame rate.
If the number of images played per second in your streaming content is not adapted to the playback rate of the display device, the recordings will inevitably be compressed or stretched – and the end result will look anything but smooth on the TV screen.
To avoid this annoying effect when streaming, Amazon has equipped its Fire TV devices with intelligent frame rate matching, which means: If the function is activated, the playback device automatically adapts to the refresh rate of the content and nervously stuttering and jumping streams are a thing of the past .
Is the stream still stuttering? Then the internet connection could be to blame. It may help to connect the Fire TV Stick to the Internet via LAN.
