What's the maximum resolution and frame rate by plan?
| Plan | Max resolution | Max frame rate |
|---|---|---|
| Shadow Lite | 1440p | 60 Hz |
| Shadow | 5K | 240 Hz |
| Shadow Pro | 5K | 240 Hz |
How does it work?
- The resolution and frame rate displayed adapt automatically to your screen's characteristics, within the cap set by your plan.
- If your screen has a specific format (Retina display, non-standard aspect ratio), Shadow adjusts the resolution to give you the best possible rendering while staying within your plan's limit.
- You can change the resolution or frame rate in Windows settings or in-game, but the actual stream sent will remain capped at the maximum allowed by your plan.
Why does this limit exist?
This limit allows plans to be differentiated not only by hardware power, but also by display quality, while accounting for network constraints (the higher the resolution and frame rate, the more bandwidth required).
FAQ
Can I change the resolution in Windows settings?
Yes, but the actual stream remains capped according to your plan's limits.
My screen has a special format (Retina, ultra-wide): is that taken into account?
Yes, Shadow adapts the display to your screen while staying within your plan's cap, to give you the best possible rendering.
Which plan should I choose for 240 Hz?
The Shadow (non lite) and Shadow Pro plans support up to 240 Hz. The Lite plan is capped at 60 Hz.
