LG er den første TV-producent som kan tilbyde Nvidias streamingtjeneste til spil, GeForce Now. Appen lader brugere streame spil over internettet direkte til TV-skærmen – ingen konsol påkrævet.

GeForce Now på LG TV
GeForce Now appen lanceres i denne uge, den 19. november, på udvalgte 2021 LG-modeller (en liste over kompatible modeller var ikke tilgængelig ved publiceringstid) i 80 lande, heriblandt Danmark. Ved lancering er det free-to-play spil, som kan spilles.

- "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. 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," sagde LG.

Det er spil som Rocket League, Destiny 2, Marvels Guardians of the Galaxy  og Crysis Remastered Trilogy.



GeForce Now understøtter streaming i op til 1080p-opløsning med SDR og 60 billeder per sekund på LG TV. GeForce Now fandtes allerede til Windows PC, macOS, Chrome OS, Android og Nvidias egen Shield-boks. Tjenesten understøtter 4K60 HDR spilstreaming på sidstnævnte.

Flatpanels kunne i første omgang melde ud om LGs planer om GeForce Now til Smart TV under CES 2021. Dengang meldte LG også en anden streamingtjeneste til spil, Google Stadia, på vej til deres Smart TV, men den lader stadig vente på sig.

- "LG customers are expecting the best when it comes to gaming on a large screen," sagde Lee Sang-woo, SVP for corporate business strategy, LG Electronics HE. "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."
