Firmware Update Makes LG First to Claim 4K Dolby Vision at 120 Hz

LG announced Dolby Vision HDR at 4K 120 Hz, underscoring its focus on premium gaming in the C1 and G1 series OLED TVs. Firmware version 03.15.27, now rolling out, makes LG’s C1 and G1 series OLED TVs the first capable of supporting the latest Dolby Vision update, said the company Monday. LG’s OLED Z1 series, QNED mini LED QNED99 series and NanoCell NANO99 series TVs will also get the update in July, said the company. More 2021 and 2020 TV models are being tested for Dolby Vision gaming in either 60Hz or 120Hz, it said. The firmware update also brings a game dashboard feature to 2021 LG TVs equipped with Game Optimizer. The floating on-screen menu, designed to replicate the head-up display found in many games, shows the TV’s settings and allows users to switch among genres -- standard, first-person shooter, role-playing or real-time strategy -- without pausing the action. The dashboard shows the status of other modes such as whether black stabilizer, low latency and variable refresh rate are activated. Users can launch the Game Optimizer directly from the dashboard.
