Wow vs. Classic themes: the difference
In short
Wow = spectacular animations (Neon, Confetti, Stadium). Classic = sober and light on the GPU. Which one to pick based on your hardware.
1 The concrete difference
🎩 Classic (4 themes)
- Classic, Elegant, Retro, Corporate
- Sober animations
- Runs on anything (8-year-old TV, fine)
- No visual fatigue
✨ Wow (4 themes)
- Sport, Neon, Confetti, Stadium
- Sophisticated animations
- Needs a recent graphics card
- Visually more impactful
2 Hardware performance
Older PCs or budget smart TVs
Stick to the Classics. Otherwise you risk stutter or a laggy screen.
Recent PC or Apple TV
Go for the Wows. The rendering is gorgeous and smooth.
Did you know?
When in doubt, run "Fullscreen preview" on the target screen. If it lags in preview, it'll lag on the day. Better to find out beforehand.
