In early 2024, the webOS Re:New programme will bring the latest webOS upgrade to every model in LG’s 2022 OLED TV lineup, LG OLED Flex, LG OLED Objet Collection Posé, as well as LG’s 2022 QNED Mini LED 8K (QNED99/95 series).

“Demonstrated by the constant improvement to the webOS platform’s UX and UI, LG is firmly dedicated to elevating convenience and security, ensuring that users benefit from a hassle-free and secure experience when using our products. We strive to provide life-enriching experiences for our customers by delivering a wide range of content and services on our TVs,” said Baik Seon-pill, leader of the LG Home Entertainment Company’s Product Planning Division.

This upgrade will be extended to more LG TVs worldwide in the future.

With the latest version of webOS, LG Smart TV owners can enjoy a more personalised TV experience with a Home Screen that greets users with recommendations according to their tastes.

The user interface is highly customisable, which means viewers can personalise the selection of content and services and access them with greater ease.

To make the process even more seamless, the Quick Card UI sorts diverse content and services into categories like music, games and sports within a user-centric interface that resembles mobile user interface design.
