LG informs us that the required firmware update will roll out starting this week. It will arrive first to customers in North America, then Europe and other regions before the end of the year.
- "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," said Sam Kim, SVP of TV product planning, LG HE. "Our partnership with Nvidia, the world’s premiere gaming hardware brand, are helping our 2019 OLED TVs set a new standard in gaming performance."
