A method includes automatically capturing, through a processor of a data processing device communicatively coupled to a memory, one or more parameter(s) related to a visual quality of rendering of a video frame that is part of a sequence on a display unit communicatively coupled to the processor and one or more parameter(s) related to latency associated with the rendering of the video frame on the display unit. The sequence is a video and/or a graphics sequence. The method also includes performing, through the processor, an automatic trade-off between the one or more parameter(s) related to the visual quality and the one or more parameter(s) related to the latency to maintain the one or more parameter(s) related to the visual quality or the one or more parameter(s) related to the latency within a threshold during the rendering of the video frame.
