LG-NVIDIA-GeForce-NOW.png

SEOUL, Nov. 18, 2021 — LG Electronics (LG) announced 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.”

      webOS updated, I think to 2023, on my C2 a couple of days ago. Since then the News option on the Sky News app no longer works, instead timing out. The Weather and Climate options still work, though.
      I have deleted and reloaded the Sky News app, but the problem remains.
      Does anybody have any suggestions of what I might try to get this working again, or is this something for LG, or Sky, to fix?

      I remember when I first bought the TV in Nov '23, it would switch into PC mode (setting the HDMI input to PC) automatically when first connecting my RTX 4090 PC. This behaviour was fine as the TV was indeed being used for PC Gaming.
      On my RTX 3050 HTPC I could disable PC mode by changing the input back to HDMI1. This would restore all picture settings options. This change would persist until the HDMI cable was physically disconnected/reconnected. Again, this behaviour was fine for my HTPC where I preferred having access to all the picture settings options vs 444 passthrough.
       
      Now PC mode is reactivated after every Cold Boot (Shutdown > Power On) but not from Warm Boot (Restart).
      It is a 'silent' PC mode as the input label does not change back to PC, however the same picture settings are greyed out like in PC mode. Switching the Input label from HDMI1 to another non-PC type disables PC mode again and restores the full picture settings.
       
      I was using the RTX 3050 in my HTPC for a few months after I purchased the TV and did not experience this issue. After a few months I switched to the RX 7600 and continued to not experience this issue. I recently tried going back to the Intel iGPU on the HTPC and discovered this issue. I thought it might be an intel bug, so I reinstalled the RTX 3050 and found the issue again. I've gone back to the RX 7600 as it does not suffer this issue.
       
      I have Game Optimizer options disabled (VRR, Freesync, ALLM), 444 Passthrough Disabled, QMS Disabled.
      Intel and Nvidia GPU options tried:
      Change output from RGB to YCBCR = no effect
      Disable "Text Content Processing" on intel = no effect
      Change "Content type reported" on Nvidia = no effect (Movie does activate film maker mode)
      Also noticed that on the 3050 the TV switches to PC mode during POST (picture settings disabled in BIOS), while on the Intel iGPUs PC mode activates during Windows startup (picture settings enabled in BIOS, disabled at Windows login screen).
      Testing performed on Win11 24H2, however also experienced the issue when testing LibreElec(Linux Distro for Kodi) on the intel iGPUs (didn't test Nvidia in LibreElec as unsupported).
       
      Affected GPUs: UHD Graphics 730 on Intel i5-11400 and i3-12100, Nvidia RTX 3050
      Unaffected GPUs: AMD RX 7600, Nvidia GT 1030
       
      I've noticed that on the RX 7600 and GT 1030 the SPD Info Frame are blank/Unknown.
      While on the UHD 730 - Product Description: PC, Vendor Name: Intel, Source Info: PC
      and the RTX 3050 - Product Description: GeForce RTX 3050, Vendor Name: NVIDIA, Source Info: PC
