With more people spending time at home over the last 18 months, interest in gaming has increased. Across the globe, the average time spent gaming has increased by 39% during the pandemic, and Twitch viewership also grew by more than 50% from the first quarter of 2020 to the second. But gaming has become more than a fun way to pass the time during lockdown. For many people socially distancing at home, gaming has become a valuable lifeline that has kept them both entertained and connected with friends and family. In fact, 39% and 50% of UK gamers reported that playing video games made them feel less isolated and happier, respectively.<\/p>\n

As more of us either discover or delve deeper into the exciting world of gaming, there\u2019s a lot to learn about the latest generation of innovative gaming tech entering the market and how it can help elevate experiences. Gaming TVs are an example of this tech, and where gaming monitors used to be the standard, LG\u2019s OLED TVs have set a new benchmark for immersive displays.<\/p>\n

The age of OLED<\/p>\n

In the past, TVs didn\u2019t provide the best gaming experiences because many of them suffered from slow response times, so the on-screen pixels took a while to change based on in-game actions. For fast-paced gaming, a few milliseconds can mean the difference between winning and losing, which is why gamers used to opt for gaming monitors for a more responsive experience.<\/p>\n

When LG\u2019s OLED TVs hit the market, all of that changed. OLED TVs outperform most gaming monitors because they don\u2019t need to waste time processing any backlighting. Instead, OLED tech uses self-lit pixels that deliver near-instantaneous response times as low as one millisecond. With OLED, input lag is a thing of the past and this next-gen, award-winning tech has been touted for giving gamers a new competitive edge.<\/p>\n

Another significant benefit of OLED\u2019s self-lit pixels is that they turn on and off individually, resulting in the deepest blacks and infinite contrast. With conventional LED displays, a dark area on the screen can never be perfectly black because of backlighting, whereas with OLED the pixels in darker areas are completely turned off. This brings an astonishing depth and vibrancy to games that non-OLED monitors struggle to compete with.<\/p>\n

Made for next-gen gaming<\/p>\n

Even if you\u2019re gaming on the latest PC, Xbox Series X\/S, or PS5, your gaming system can only deliver a visual experience that\u2019s as good as the display you\u2019re using. To fully leverage the true capabilities of cutting-edge PCs and consoles, you need a cutting-edge display to match. With support for 4K video at an impressive 120Hz refresh rate, OLED offers both sharper picture quality and smoother on-screen motion, allowing gamers to enjoy every vivid detail of the latest games without any motion blur. An HDMI 2.1 port is essential for this \u2013 LG\u2019s OLED C1 has four.<\/p>\n

Ever spent a few hours gaming and had the strained eyes to prove it? As the world\u2019s first Eyesafe certified TV displays, LG OLED TVs produce low levels of blue light while maintaining optimal colour performance. Being able to choose different blue light modes is a big benefit for gamers as it allows them to enjoy extended gaming sessions without eye strain.<\/p>\n

Other features that are particularly great for gamers is OLED\u2019s Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), as well as its NVIDIA G-SYNC and AMD FreeSync compatibility. These adaptive syncing technologies reduce screen tearing, stuttering, and input lag by dynamically synchronising your monitor\u2019s refresh rate to match every frame generated by your graphics card in real time. This results in a smoother and more realistic gaming experience \u2013 especially with the fast-moving visuals in first-person shooter or racing games. LG was the first to support NVIDIA G-SYNC for big screen gaming, and it\u2019s one of the many reasons why gamers love OLED displays.<\/p>\n

Better hardware, smarter software<\/p>\n

While OLED hardware is nothing short of revolutionary, there\u2019s also a lot more going on inside LG\u2019s OLED TVs. The latest Game Optimiser uses LG\u2019s ?9 Gen4 AI processor to detect specific game genres, such as first-person shooters, RPGs, and real-time strategy games, and optimises both the picture and audio for better gameplay. The interface also gives gamers finer control over gaming-related display settings, so you can customise to your heart\u2019s desire.<\/p>\n

Another unique software feature of LG\u2019s OLED TVs is that they come standard with Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. Dolby Vision intelligently optimises picture quality based on the game genre and the ambient light conditions of your living room using built-in light sensors. This means the perfect detail, brightness, and contrast to match whatever game you\u2019re playing. The Xbox Series X and S are the first consoles to enable gaming in both Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, and LG recently released a firmware upgrade for their OLED C1 and G1 series TVs that made them the first manufacturer to support Dolby Vision HDR at 4K and 120Hz.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget the sound<\/p>\n

Dolby Atmos delivers the most immersive, multi-dimensional surround sound by adding something conventional surround sound doesn\u2019t have: a height channel. This allows sounds to be placed more accurately in a three-dimensional space, enabling up to 128 individual sounds to be placed precisely in different parts of your virtual surroundings. For first-person shooter afficionados, this offers a significant competitive advantage as it allows you to hear exactly where every footstep or distant gunshot is coming from.<\/p>\n

LG\u2019s OLED TVs come standard with Bluetooth as well as a headphone port, so you can add your own headset with ease. Alternatively, add an LG Sound Bar to your gaming setup \u2013 they also support Dolby Atmos and produce sound powerful enough to blur the lines between gaming and reality.<\/p>\n

The new benchmark for gaming<\/p>\n

LG\u2019s OLED TVs have not only set a new standard for gaming TVs, they\u2019ve also changed what kind of gaming experiences are possible. With so many innovative features, it\u2019s no wonder that displays like the LG OLED C1 48\u201d have become flagship gaming TVs. And at the rate that display technologies, gaming PCs and consoles, and video games themselves are evolving, we can all look forward to unparalleled gaming experiences in 2021 and the future.<\/p>\n
