I DO NOT ASK THAT I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT IT IS POSSIBLE ... the intelligent electric circuitry inside uses the drivers configured optimally for itself. Then, over time, they update. For what you want, you need to have the source code then you can develop it. Also, you know the code where it was assembled ... success

isn't there any plan for upgrade old LG tv to the new os(web os) BY LG???
I check my tv for update more than 1 year and no new update on it !!!!
the smart section isn't smart - for exp web browser is very bad (it can't open a website - freeze )

web os or android os is the suitable cases for this problem.
I must use raspberry pie 3 for use web browser on my tv
 

thanks

Hi Daniel,

It is highly unlikely that old LG NetCast televisions will get an upgrade to webOS.  The two main reasons are:

1. Hardware - The NetCast televisons run different chipsets and memory meaning reprogramming webOS to cover these units, which leads on to reason 2

2. There is no money in it for LG.  Quite simply; why would LG spend the money to do the conversion when there is no profit centre in it for them?  They would much prefer you purchase a new set from them.

      OLED65G2PSA damaged after recent webOS firmware upgrade
      By SHawk
      Immediately following the major LG webOS firmware upgrade last week, our OLED65G2PSA is damaged. A white line appears top to bottom of screen in from the left hand side & the tv either fails to turn on, or shuts itself down shortly after. Has anyone else had this issue & if so, has any update on a solution. (I'm waiting for LG to get it sorted. Waiting ...)

      By Mogens
      On you tube I have found some guidance how to use developer mode, and add other apps on LG TV.
      But it seems I am not able to add Norlys App.
      Are there any suggestions on how to add Norlys App on LG TV?
      Kind regards

      How to Get Spotify App on LG Smart TV
      By Annie Yazbeck
      I can't find the Spotify app on the LG Content Store. When I search it, there is no result. Anyone can help me to get Spotify on LG Smart TV? I tried to use DRmare Software to download Spotify songs to USB flash drive and play them on my LG Smart TV offline for free. But I prefer to use it via the Spotify app directly.
