PC gamers wanting to take advantage of the biggest screen in the house will be able to do so in even better form on a number of 2019 LG OLED TVs, as the company announces a firmware update bringing Nvidia G-Sync support.
Sets receiving the update include the E9 (65- and 55-inch), C- (77-, 65- and 55-inch) and B9 (65- and 55-inch). G-Sync support promises "the smoothest, most immersive gaming experience," with images free of flickering, tearing or stuttering. However, to take advantage of graphics optimised for TVs up to 77-inch in size customers need to own PCs powered by either GeForce RTX 20 or GTX 16-series GPUs.
The update provides a pair of gaming modes, both featuring HDR Deep Colour and HDR. One offers 2560x1440 @ 120Hz for a 40-120Hz Variable Refresh Rate range, while the other is 3840x2160 @ 60Hz for a 40-60Hz Variable Refresh Rate range. Nvidia provides an online guide for checking TV firmware updates, as well how to adjust TV and PC settings to get the setup up and running.
“As the first TVs to offer Nvidia G-Sync compatible support in the industry, LG is once again demonstrating its commitment to delivering the most advanced gaming experience,” LG says. “Our partnership with Nvidia, the world’s premiere gaming hardware brand, are helping our 2019 OLED TVs set a new standard in gaming performance.”
