LG is taking a new approach to its update strategy with webOS 24. Owners of TV models starting in 2022 will benefit!\u00a0In other words, LG is trying to improve its operating system and make it even more flexible in terms of updates from last year’s versions.\u00a0This corresponds to the company slogan: \u201cLife’s Good\u201d.<\/p>\n

webOS 24. What’s new?<\/h2>\n

LG said that starting with the 2024 model year, it wants to distribute major webOS updates that have been rolling out for four years.\u00a0Previously, the manufacturer made only the latest version of its operating system available for the latest generation TVs.\u00a0However, there is now good news for those who own LG Smart TV from 2022 (\u00a0webOS 22\u00a0).<\/p>\n

New features<\/h3>\n

According to LG, all of the company’s TVs will be updated to webOS 24 starting in 2022. This means that TVs will receive a new home screen design and enhanced personalization options.\u00a0You can create up to ten user profiles.\u00a0Each profile will have recommendations based on previously watched movies and other TV shows.<\/p>\n

The company also promises that access to viewer-selected content will become even easier.\u00a0That is, genres such as music, sports, movies and others will be intuitively sorted thanks to the Quick Card interface, which visually resembles the screen design on smartphones.<\/p>\n

In addition, users will be provided with a high degree of uninterruption and security when watching their favorite programs.\u00a0New TVs offer features such as AI Sound Pro, Dynamic Tonemapping Pro or improved AI upscaling.\u00a0However, there is speculation that the new features mentioned are chipset dependent.<\/p>\n

Therefore, older models may not have the full range of new features available.\u00a0The exact period during which LG will distribute the webOS 24 update to TVs from 2022 is also unclear.\u00a0In any case, the entire lineup is taken into account – including, for example, the popular\u00a0LG OLED C2\u00a0, QNED models with mini-LED backlighting, as well as the LG OLED Flex and LG OLED Objet Collection Pos\u00e9.<\/p>\n

By updating to the latest version, more than 200 million LG TVs running webOS will receive the update, thereby improving the quality of service.\u00a0In addition, the company has invested additional funds to expand its services, libraries and video content.\u00a0This way webOS is going to become even more competitive.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

LG webOS will launch advertising?<\/h3>\n

However, one should see in this strategy not only advantages, but also some disadvantages.\u00a0LG has already made it clear in the past that webOS will be turned into an advertising platform.\u00a0The press release about the webOS update does not hide this information.\u00a0LG explains that the new webOS update for older smart TVs will allow advertising partners to make their content and services available to a wider audience.<\/p>\n

At the same time, the company plans to place an even display of recommendations and advertising.\u00a0So, owners of older TVs should think twice before upgrading their webOS operating system to the 2024 version.\u00a0By the way, LG also wants to confirm that other already available TV models will also receive webOS 24, but at a later date.\u00a0More 2023 smart TVs will be updated first.\u00a0All of LG Home Entertainment’s innovations regarding webOS24 are demonstrated at CES 2024, which will last from January 9 to 12.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
