ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J.,
Nov. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- LG
Electronics (LG) announced a partnership with NVIDIA to be the
first TV manufacturer to develop a Smart TV app of GeForce NOW, the
premier cloud game-streaming service, for LG TVs running
webOS.1 Boasting large screen sizes, lifelike picture
quality and high refresh rates, LG's OLED TVs are a perfect match
for GeForce NOW. Currently available on NVIDIA SHIELD, Windows PC,
macOS, Chrome OS, Android and Safari browser for iPhone and iPad,
GeForce NOW allows gamers to start playing on their LG TVs and
continue on nearly any device they own.
The app will be available in beta starting this week in the LG
Content Store on select 2021 LG 4K
OLED, QNED Mini LED and NanoCell TV models in 80
markets.2 The app will enable LG TV owners with
compatible TVs to instantly enjoy over 35 free-to-play games with
just a compatible controller, no additional hardware required.
Games include Rocket League and Destiny 2 plus hit
titles such as Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy and
Crysis Remastered Trilogy, all playable at up to 1080p
resolution and 60 frames per second. GeForce NOW Priority members
get access to the most advanced platform for ray tracing and AI
technologies, streaming from NVIDIA RTX-powered servers in data
centers worldwide for the most responsive gameplay and gorgeous,
high-quality graphics.
The powerful combination of GeForce NOW and LG OLED TV will mean
immersive gaming at its finest. LG OLED's self-lit pixels ensure
the most vibrant colors and deepest blacks to make in-game
environments and characters more realistic than ever. LG TVs also
deliver ultra-fast 1 millisecond response time and super-low input
lag for smoother visuals, better control and a key advantage over
the competition.
"LG customers are expecting the best when it comes to gaming on
a large screen," said Lee Sang-woo,
senior vice president of corporate business strategy at LG
Electronics Home Entertainment Company. "Partnering with NVIDIA to
bring GeForce NOW to LG TV owners is a sign of our commitment to
deliver the best gaming experience on LG TVs running webOS."
1 Complete list of compatible TV models to be
announced at a later date.
2 NVIDIA GeForce NOW beta is fully functional
with no restrictions in features or services.
