The graphics card maker announced today that NVIDIA’s GeForce Now app for LG TVs has been out of beta. The cloud gaming service released a beta version for select LG TVs last November and allows games to be streamed from NVIDIA’s servers.
If you have a compatible post-2021 LG TV, you can download the GeForce Now app from the LG Content Store. To celebrate the launch, NVIDIA is offering 6 months of GeForce Now Priority for free with the purchase of an eligible LG TV between February 1 and March 27.
While it was previously possible to access NVIDIA’s streaming service on NVIDIA Shield devices, being able to access the service directly from the TV itself is a more streamlined solution. Of course, it’s also a cheaper option if used for a set-top box that doesn’t already have NVIDIA and doesn’t like plugging another GeForce Now-compatible device into the TV.
Alongside the official launch of the LG TV app, NVIDIA also said it’s rolling out a new resolution upscaling option to GeForce Now. These options are designed to make up the difference when the device streaming resolution (determined by your network bandwidth) is lower than the monitor resolution. There are now three upscaling modes.
Standard is on by default; “Enhanced” provides better quality but may increase latency; and “AI Enhanced” provides the best picture quality, but only works with NVIDIA Shield or those with certain NVIDIA GPUs PC. When the TV resolution is lower than the streaming resolution, the feature can also reduce the size of the content to run more smoothly without changing the quality.
NVIDIA also has some new games coming to its streaming service this week. Mortal Online 2, Daemon X Machina, Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition, Tropico 6, and Assassin’s Creed III Deluxe Edition.
