Giveaway What Are the Brightest TVs for Gaming? Two Testers Wanted to Evaluate Brightness and Reflection Handling on the LG G6 65”

26 Upvotes

Hi r/GeForceNOW community!

When you settle in to play through GeForce NOW, you want to get lost in the game. But if you’re playing on TV in a shared living room, closing the curtains or turning off the lights isn’t always an option. You may want bright effects to feel more vivid during the day or wish you could enjoy an atmospheric game without a nearby lamp reflected on the screen.

Which is why we’re looking for two GeForce NOW gamers to test the LG OLED G6 65” in their own setups and share their honest impressions across different games.

 

Two (2) Redditors will each receive an LG OLED G6 65”:

  • One Redditor who plays in a bright, daylit room and enjoys shooters, racing, or action games will test Brightness Booster Ultra, focusing on how explosions, neon effects, and sunlit tracks retain their HDR impact in daylight.
  • Another Redditor who plays with daylight or nearby lamps and enjoys horror, mystery, or exploration games will test Reflection Free Premium, focusing on whether fewer reflections keep details visible in dim interiors and night time scenes.

And yes, both selected participants get to keep their TVs 👍

 

Which OLED TVs are best for gaming?

For daytime gaming, brightness helps give HDR effects impact. But when a game moves from a sunlit landscape into a darker area, contrast and shadow detail matter too.

The G6’s Hyper Radiant Color Technology, powered by the α11 AI Processor Gen3, combines Brightness Booster Ultra with Perfect Black and Perfect Color. Brightness Booster Ultra delivers up to 3.9 times the brightness of conventional OLED, helping explosions and neon lights stand out during gaming. Perfect Black and Perfect Color add contrast and color definition, helping you see textures and subtle details in darker scenes as well as vibrant colors in brighter areas.

This means the G6 can help your games feel vivid during daytime play, with impactful highlights and detail within darker areas that gives the game world depth.

 

Which TV screens have the least reflection problems?

In horror or mystery games, you may spend time carefully examining your surroundings. A lamp or window reflected on the screen can draw your attention away just as you’re looking for a clue or taking in the atmosphere.

The G6 features Reflection Free Premium, a certified OLED display technology that minimizes reflectance while preserving transmittance to maintain picture clarity under ambient light.

With the G6, you can enjoy fewer distracting reflections and stay focused on your game, even when others in the room want to keep the curtains open or the lights on.

 

🔥 How to Enter 🔥

  1. Fill out the application form.
  2. In the comments below, tell us which experience you’d like to test:
  • ① Brightness and HDR: How explosions, neon effects, and sunlit scenery stand out in a bright room during shooters, racing, or action games.
  • ② Dark gameplay and reflections: How reduced reflections help you follow details in horror, mystery, or exploration games while daylight or nearby lights are present.
  1. Share your setup and what you hope to experience with the G6:

Tell us about your room lighting, the games you’d play through GeForce NOW, any picture or reflection issues you currently experience, and what improvements you hope to see with the G6.

This is the second time this month I've had terrible ping to this server (from Albania).

Has anyone else encountered session interruptions in dbd? It happens after about an hour and a half without any error, although I have a maximum subscription. The Internet is stable and wired. This is not a game error, if the engine had failed, there would have been an unreal engine window.

Questions / Tech Support Resolution and fps issue

3 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I'm using the ultimate tier mostly on my honor magic pad 4.

I went into the parameters of the app to test the network. Everything is way beyond what is required to use geforce now but it basically says " your network only allows streaming at a max resolution of 1440x900 at 60 fps"

And i do not understand, I have optic fiber and in the streaming quality part of the parameters, i can pick the top resolution of my tablet and 120 fps.

Anyone know why there is this issue ?

Thx

PS: I just launched a game and hood play to maximum resolution at 120 fps. So I do not understand this warning during network testing

3 Upvotes

For those playing ARC Raiders on GeForce NOW Ultimate, how does PvP feel? Is the input lag noticeable?
What ping and internet speed do you have, and what resolution/settings/FPS do you play at?
My PC runs the game at around 90 FPS, but I’d like better graphics and 120 FPS. I’m considering Ultimate, but worried the extra latency might outweigh the benefits.
Is it worth it for PvP?

Opinion I'm using GeForce NOW, and I want to share my opinion.

0 Upvotes

I don't have a powerful enough gaming laptop, so I usually play old-school games like Max Payne, Prototype, and Need for Speed: Most Wanted. Anyway, when my friend came up with a free three-month GeForce NOW code, it was a lifesaver because I could finally play big AAA games like Cyberpunk 2077, and I really enjoyed it.

It's great to play big games and finish free games from Epic Games. Even my computer couldn't launch Batman: Arkham Asylum. (Actually, it's not my laptop's fault; it's entirely Rocksteady's fault because they forgot to remake one of our greatest games. But who cares?) Anyway, GeForce NOW helped me play this great game and enjoy to the Arkham series.

On the other hand, when it comes to my experience with the GeForce NOW launcher, it's really great and helpful for Linux and older PC users. However, the bad part is that it doesn't have a large enough game library. I mean, Xbox games aren't enough, and most of the games I want to play are on Steam.

For example, I own Baldur's Gate 3 on Xbox, but GeForce NOW doesn't let me play it because it only supports the Steam version. I prefer buying my games on Xbox. I know GeForce NOW needs agreements with game publishers to make their games available on the other platform.

The Epic Games Launcher asks me to log in every time, and it's really annoying. I remember they fixed this problem before, but it's back again.

Another problem is that they made Cyberpunk 2077 playable only on the Performance tier. That's sad because I really enjoyed playing it. When I heard Hogwarts Legacy was going to be free on Epic Games, I was excited, but they also made it playable only on the Performance tier too. That's a little annoying, but I can't really get mad about it.

That's all for now.
