FULL STORY ======================================================================

LG has revealed plans to enact a webOS update program that will expand
recent webOS updates to a variety of the brands TVs.

In total, every single model in LGs 2022 OLED TV series, the OLED Flex , the OLED Objet Collection Pos, and the QNED Mini Led 8K display will receive the upgrade. According to the company, the program will introduce new ways for users to customize their smart TVs so they can have a personalized experience that meets their needs. You can, for example, pick and choose what content
you want to see on screen including, but not limited to, music streaming services and video games. This will be made possible thanks to the
proprietary Quick Card UI, a system that LG states resembles what you might find on a smartphone. (Image credit: LG)

The screen interface will consist of individual cards. You have the big
banner at the top, followed by category tabs, then your selection of hand-picked services, and, in the bottom half, multiple recommendation lists for curated content you might like.

In addition to the revamped interface, LGs webOS update will see the
inclusion of advanced security technology to protect users from (presumably) bad actors, malware, or other outside forces. The company doesnt detail what the security upgrade consists of or how it functions.

Its unknown exactly when the upgrade (or as LG calls it, "Re:New") program will officially launch, but it will begin sometime in early 2024 so fairly soon. LG isnt stopping there as it will continue supporting webOS with more updates as it aims to constantly revolutionize the customer experience. The brand even pledged to continue releasing support for 2024 webOS TVs until
2028 . Big year for LG
