Get 3 free months of Apple TV+ if you sign up on your LG TV

By

LG is giving owners of its TVs as old as the 2016 models three free months of Apple TV+, if they sign up through the Apple TV+ app in the LG Content Store or by hitting the banner on the LG TV home menu.

The offer is available for LG 8K and 4K televisions from 2016 to 2021 models, and you’ll need to redeem the offer from November 15, 2021, to February 20, 2022. You’re limited to one account per TV, and per Apple ID, and the promotion is only available to new Apple TV+ subscribers.

Otherwise, you’re looking at three free months of the service that brings you the likes of Ted Lasso, The Morning Show, See, The Problem With John Stewart, and Foundation. And that’s just for starters.

“Apple TV+, available on all LG Smart TVs, is the first all-original video subscription service and home of today’s most imaginative storytellers, offering an award-winning and inspiring lineup of original series and films including the global hit comedy series Ted Lasso, starring and executive produced by Jason Sudeikis, The Morning Show starring and executive produced by Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon, and the epic, world-building saga Foundation, which marks the first-ever on-screen adaptation of Isaac Asimov’s iconic novel series. New titles debuting this week include Dr. Brain, the first Korean language original series based on the widely popular Korean webtoon by Hongjacga, and Finch, starring Tom Hanks …”

Apple TV+ normally costs $5 a month (after a free seven-day trial), so you’re essentially getting a $15 deal here. The service is available on every major platform, including Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Android TV, Chromecast with Google TV — and, of course, Apple TV, iOS and MacOS devices.

Once you sign up on your LG device, you’ll be able to watch Apple TV+ on all those other devices, too.

How to set up your TV for watching NCAA March Madness basketball
An NCAA basketball on the court.

So you've grabbed yourself a brand new TV (be it a sweet OLED, QLED or the best-of-both QD-OLED) in preparation for March Madness, but you want to make sure it's all set and ready for some hot hoops action.

Whether you're screaming at the top of your lungs for Duke, UNC, Kansas, Kentucky, UConn, South Carolina, or any of the dozens of other schools battling it out on the hardwood -- men's or women's -- NCAA basketball is one of the most watched sporting events in the world (and the 2024 women's championship game was the most-watched women's college basketball game ever!).

You Asked: Apple TV vs. your TV upscaling dilemma and perplexing pixelation
You Asked Ep 79

On today’s You Asked: Can you stop the Apple TV 4K from upscaling -- and should you? Why is HLG the broadcast standard for HDR and how did some folks get the Super Bowl in Dolby Vision or HDR10? Do secret 3D TVs exist? And why do dark scenes tend to look pixelated?
Stop the upscaling – or not?

Michael Sabin writes: I have a new TCL QM851 and use an Apple TV as the primary streaming device. I know you always recommend letting your TV perform all the upscaling, but I can't find a way to do this with Apple TV. If I set the resolution to 4K, it seems like everything gets upconverted to 4K. Do you know of a way to let Apple TV pass through the native resolution of the content?

A native Android Apple TV app is now in the Google Play store
The Apple TV app on a Samsung Android phone.

It's been five years since the Apple TV app was launched, and we're now getting a version for Android devices -- built from the ground up for native Android integration -- in the Google Play store that will have the same Apple TV+ functionality as the Apple ecosystem version. The new app means users with Android OS 10 or later will finally have the ability to sign up for Apple TV+ on their Android-based phones and tablets to watch shows and movies like Severance, Silo, Killers of the Flower Moon, and CODA. There will be no difference in pricing on Android compared to Apple.

This should enable seamless interactivity across platforms for features such as Continue Watching -- which keeps track of where you are in a show or movie and allows you to pick up from that spot when you return, regardless of the device you watch on. Customer's Watchlist will be kept up to date across devices as well, and since purchases are linked to your Apple account, all the content you own will be accessible on any device with the new updated app. One thing missing at launch, though, will be the ability to cast Apple TV content from your Android device.
