It's true. We've just learned of an official partnership between LG and Xbox, to guarantee gamers the benefits of playing the next-gen Xbox Series X on an LG OLED TV, apparently compatible with organic LED panel technology on QLED or LCD TVs from the competition. . The Xbox Series X has dramatically increased its processing power over current-gen consoles, so it's no surprise that you need a TV that can showcase these improvements at its best. Plenty of TV brands have courted the gaming crowd this year, with the specter of consoles now released leaving many wondering if setting up their TV for gaming is enough. Few have gone as far as LG Electronics, with its entire lineup of 2020 OLED TVs featuring four HDMI 2.1 ports, rather than the more hesitant single port on some newer Samsung TVs. This means you get gamer-focused features like Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), which reduces screen tearing by smoothly adjusting to the required refresh rate in your game, through each HDMI port. as well as 4K resolution at 120 fps for compatible titles. You also get Auto Low Latency mode (ALLM), which drastically reduces input lag (the delay between your gamepad inputs and their corresponding on-screen action) at the expense of some other processing technology. Having four ports that support all of these features means you're also connecting multiple next-gen consoles, if you've been lucky enough to get them. Let's also not forget the advantages of an OLED panel, which offers exceptional colors and contrast thanks to its self-emissive pixels. Whether you're taking zombies out of dark cellars in The Last of Us 2 on PS5 or talking about trouble in The Outer Worlds on either platform, you can be sure that an OLED panel will enhance the experience.

LG's 2020 TV lineup includes some real flyers, with the popular LG CX OLED topping our best OLED TV guide, as well as a compact 48-inch OLED size that could work well as a solo gamer monitor. . The CX has also seen significant cuts to this year's Black Friday deals, which means anyone who hasn't yet upgraded their next-gen gaming TV may find it's time to do so. Other LG OLED models include the LG BX OLED (an entry-level model that takes a beating in processing), the LG Gallery Series OLED (a sleek wall mount), and the LG WX OLED (a TV and soundbar combo). ). But what does an official association even mean? We're told the companies will host "special events at participating retail outlets," which may suffer from a bit of ongoing lockdown, but the purpose of the partnership is relevant nonetheless: to pair an Xbox Series X with an OLED TV shouldn't disappoint.
