LG is bringing GeForce NOW to select WebOS Smart OS TVs. It is the first TV manufacturer to include the game streaming service. The beta app will not include all the features found on PC or the NVIDIA Shield but will offer access to over 35 free-to-play games and the ability to connect to other stores. The app supports up to 1080p 60 FPS SDR streaming.

WebOS was pretty smooth in some HP tablet we used.
 
I've had a few LG WebOS TVs over the years. It keeps evolving and isn't too bad. My biggest complaint is that it won't give you a normal full restart option. In some cases, you might be able to dig through menus to get to one but the power buttons(even supposed hard-shutdown) don't always achieve. On a number of occasions when something has gone sideways I've had to pull the UPS out to unplug it and wait and plug it back in.

Other than that, it's been pretty smooth on our LG C9. It sure would be nice if LG and HBO could iron things out so HBO Max would finally get added but I do think it's pretty cool how someone with one of these newer TVs could have the GeForce option for PC gaming without a PC, albeit with some limitations. For the time being though, I've got a Shield to stream Max to it, and our projector, which ironically would still give better performance for Now than the new app. Oh well.
