LG's 2021 TVs get Stadia and GeForce Now, next-gen OLED tech

LG's OLED Evo tech has more immersive colors as the brand rolls out Stadia integration for all 2021 TVs.

What you need to know

LG's G1 OLED Evo TV has better brightness and luminosity than its predecessors.
The TV has a suite of AI-assisted features for image and audio upscaling.
LG has announced that all of its 2021 TVs will feature Google Stadia integration.

LG debuted the first OLED TV back in 2013, and introduced an OLED panel with 4K HDR back in 2015. The South Korean manufacturer is now introducing its OLED Evo range, with the tech offering better brightness and more realism. While OLED TVs offer significantly better contrast levels than their LCD counterparts, they don't get as bright. LG is now aiming to fix that with the G1.

I'll get to the TV shortly, but during the announcement LG has also revealed that all of its 2021 TVs will get Google Stadia integration. That's a big deal for Google as it tries to push Stadia into more homes. LG TVs will also get GeForce Now streaming, but that particular integration isn't going live until later this year.

The LG G1 is the first TV to feature the OLED Evo panel, and it will go on sale later this year in three sizes: 55, 65, and 77 inches. The TV is powered by the fourth-gen A9 chipset, and it has AI-assisted features for image upscaling, with LG noting that the TV will automatically adjust brightness levels based on whatever content is playing on the screen.

LG's OLED panels are some of the best TVs for PS5 or Xbox gaming, and the fact that the G1 is getting a brighter screen should make things that much more interesting. Audio is also getting a boost thanks to an AI-assisted feature that emulates 5.1 surround sound. LG's WebOS software is getting a refresh as well, with a more modern design that makes it easier to navigate the interface.

Then there's the remote: the magic remote has been tweaked with a more ergonomic design, and it has built-in buttons for Google Assistant and Alexa, Netflix, Disney+, and LG's ThinQ platform. LG is also adding NFC to the remote so that you can pair your phone with your TV easier than ever and cast content.

LG is also debuting new additions in the C1 and A1 line of OLED TVs, and introducing new models in the mini-LED and LCD series, with all the new models set to go on sale in the coming weeks.

The hidden cost of food delivery

More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
