I recently asked LG support to look into this for me, and though I don't have my hopes up for full 4.x on the 2016 and 2017 sets (be it a matter of performance, developer time, or lack of customer complaints), it would *really* be nice to at least get a teaser or two (like Assistant and Alexa support) backported to 3.3 and 3.5.

LG could certainly earn some valuable loyalty points by falling in with the cool kids- the ones who roll out major system updates for years ;)

I can’t believe there aren’t more people requesting an update to fix this integration issue with Alexa devices.

Ya don't hold your breath. There will be no updates and very few good apps from WebOS. Never has been. Get a tv that has Android or get an android box and forget about WebOS. That is just for running your LG tv. Kind of like trying to install a Google app on an IPad.

Good point- app developers don't like to waste their time on disposable platforms.

Still waiting on the follow-up I was promised by LG customer support... 🙄

My LG OLED 65 TV was updated this am to version 05.80.15 and seems to be working OK.  Anyone having problems with this version?  I have Google Home and if I ask Google to play Youtube on TV it works.  I thought that folks were having some problems with this but maybe not.  FWIW

thats because youtube is a google app and you must register your tv with it in your account  but try doing other things   with the google assistant it wont work now as for the update 05.80.15 is to solve an audio issue on  oled   tvs

I wish I can upgrade my 49UH850 to webos 4+, but all hopes seemed lost since LG is not answering question on how to upgrade older models to newer webos OS

It is really a pain. Always hanging up on while playing youtube videos and the only way to reset memory usage is to turn of and on the TV. Disney app is not available too. Even casting is not supported.

Would be nice to be able to get HBO MAX or at least cast from my phone to my 2017 UJ series. I bought a new 65” model that has everything and put my old 49er in my room. I don’t know how long the expected lifespan of each model is but LG should continue supporting models for longer than two-three years it seems.

No answer here. My Google search ked to many other not productive answers & now I'm here. I just to vent with you. I want Paramount + on my TV!!! Apparently I need webOS 4.0 or higher. My TV has 3.9 and when I try to "update software," it tells me "no update available." Watching TV on my phone is not cool 🤨

Lg annonced it. Long ago but it never came as always they dont do such major  os  update.  So tv. On  lg tvos 3.0   wont reach 4.0. .. 4 eont reach 5. Etc 

Now there wre  ta couple options available not all of em are good thought 

  First  option which is probably the best solution and the one i personally use is to. Connect hdmi media streaming  device but. Here the are.    From best to worst   well i mean   based on my own opinion lol

 

Google tv with Chromecast  bringing android tv os  with all  the google apps. Appstore  even the. Beta versions of unreleased android version are available on thoses so they ll last for a while  before .they change it  also bring the google assistant to the tv.  And   they are if i m right arounf 30 or 35  for the full hd 1080p  hdmi dongle   amd 45 $ the. 4k version  and support. Airplay and chromecasting. .

fire tv cube which have every app i could need. Air play chromecasy miracast etc which cost about 50$

The fire stick is ok but dont take a lot  to cradh as it s underpowred  around 20$

 I personally wss using fire  tv cube and the google tv with chromecast that came later i love both buy all my stuff in here is google so ... 

 

SECOND OPTION

Lg TV have miracast which is pc windows os  version of chromecast software .. roku can  use it any windowss devices can strem direct too .. it s not chromecast but works the same way   

For this option you need a app made by LG but removed from the app store this spring but still works .. and  it is still avilable it you had the hap before ..you can download it on app store it. Is called alava "LG TV PLUS" uou can case your phone. Or filed  or websites 

You can easy find tve apk on  android alternatives places to download apk file  i persony use  pure apk and bever had an issue but pick the apk. Store you feel safe using 

 You might be able to use airplay  on apple devices to stream  trought the apple tv  on app store but  not all tv work with airplay 

THIRD OPTION  

If you have amazon prime tv membership paramount+ is part of   paid subscription of  amazon  prime

 

FOURTH OPTION   (not recommanded unless you know what you do and risky to brick) webos. 3.5 to 3.9 can. Be   jailbreaking   because  a vulnerablity   found allow installing jailbreak  with home brew and another app store but made by lg but i dont recommand for security reason.and the  way.  To get.it 

BONUS 

LAST RESORT OPTION 

 Change the tv. ..lol not the best. Option as it aint cheapest and   not environment friendliest

P.s. you can cast to  xbox systems or playstation systems too 

 

Hope it help 

Matt

Greetings, friends! I have a LG smart TV 32LF632V, model from 2016, which when updating the software stays on Webos 2 version. I need Webos 3 version to be able to install one domestic application. Now I can download the installation to the USB, put it in the TV and install it that way (there are instructions on the internet), but I'm afraid that I will create a problem (that I won't be able to install or restore it afterwards) because this version of the TV is not intended for more advanced users versions since Webos 2.

Has anyone tried something similar or knows if it is possible or not?

THANK YOU!

      Hello Everyone,
       
      I am new here. I have LG Smart TV (50UN7340PVC) and would like to connect with Logitech Conference USB camera (BCC950). Does anyone have idea whether it support or no? When I connect, the message pop up that HID device connected. After that I can't find any option for the camera. Please advise. Thank you

      Samsung has made fridges with touchscreens before. LG has made fridges with doors that turn transparent to show you the inside. This year at CES 2018, those two ideas are finally merging into one with LG’s new InstaView ThinQ smart refrigerator, which features a 29-inch touchscreen that becomes transparent if users knock on it twice.
      LG actually tried this two years ago, with a version called the Smart InstaView Door-in-Door that ran a full version of Windows 10, but it’s not clear that the company ever shipped the Windows version.
      This version uses the touchscreen to manage your food using LG’s webOS software and Amazon’s Alexa, which will let you tag food with virtual stickers and expiration dates and get automatic reminders when things are running low or about to go bad. There’s also a wide-angle panoramic camera on the inside of the fridge that will let you remotely view your fridge while you’re out and about to check and see if you’re actually out of milk or not.

      Unfortunately, the only image that LG has shared showing the fridge is a low-resolution shot on its YouTube page banner, but it seems that you’ll be able to still use the screen while it’s translucent, allowing you to tag food directly in a vaguely augmented reality-esque move.
      LG is also touting how all of its ThinQ kitchen gadgets can talk to each other to make kitchen tasks easier. So your ThinQ fridge can talk to your EasyClean oven, which will help you cook food through step-by-step instructions from the recipe app from your fridge. Then, your EasyClean oven can notify your QuadWash dishwasher about the kind of meal you cooked, so it can more efficiently select a wash cycle for that dish. Of course, all this requires spending thousands of dollars replacing every appliance in your kitchen (and if this all works as well as LG claims it does), but it’s still an intriguing vision of a Jetsons-like future utopia.
      No price or release date for the InstaView ThinQ refrigerator or any of LG’s other new appliances have yet been announced.

      I currently have three LG smart TVs.  I use YouTubeTV on all of them.  It's been convenient to have all three of them working (more of less) exactly the same.  But now I want to replace one of them with a Samsung Smart TV.  And I will want to use YouTubeTV on the Samsung.  I think in theory it should all work ok.  But before I take this expensive step I wanted to check here.  Do any of you mix smart TV brands without problems?    Thanks,  Bob

      I purchased an LG 86" UT8050 4K UHD LED Smart TV (2024) from JBHIFI in Australia. The TV was wall-mounted and set up by a local installer. I discovered that my TV has Chromecast built-in. I tried casting music from Roon, but Chrome immediately crashed and the TV shutdown. I tried again and the audio was distorted. I shut down and tried again and the audio stuttered. I tried Chromecasting with Qobuz and Plex and got the same result on audio playing out to my Yamaha RX-V6A and the TV speakers. I then tried to play audio from the Plex App in the LG WebOS. That played fine, without any distortion.
      Thinking this might have been a result of a hurried setup (the installer did this job "on the run" I reset the TV to factory defaults and set it up again. Everything went smoothly. But the problem with Chromecast persists. First time launching Chromecast the app crashed and the TV shutdown. 2nd try I got distorted audio to the receiver and to the TV speakers. Audio and Video are fine on all other apps. I can see no other faults.
      I've been Googling this and not seeing much info other than a few threads where people are saying that the LG built-in Chromecast feature does not work. I saw that one person returned his TV and the replacement had the same issue with built-in Chromecast. Most discussions on this issue are hijacked by people using a Chromecast streamer or dongle as opposed to the built-in Chromecast. They often talk about turning off this or that specific Chromecast setting, settings that are not accessible with a TV with built in Chromecast
      In the WebOs when I look at connected source devices Chromecast is there with a "Chromecast Settings" option. The settings have only one option and that is opt-in on sending crash data to Google. Apparently, Google is not monitoring the issue very closely.
      I listen to mostly Hi-Res audio. I wonder if the issue is caused by the bitrate of 24-bit Hi Res flac files. I did notice that when I cast audio that was CD quality (16-bit), the distortion did not occur. This is weird though because in the past I have been able to cast 24-bit audio to Chromecast-enabled devices without any problems.
      My TV says my firmware is up to date. I did not see a prompt to install a firmware update during setup. I've set software and app updates to be automatic.
      Appreciate any help or even a "Hey, it's not just you, this is a known issue, I've got this problem too".

      LG Objet Collection epitomizes artful home appliances that seamlessly complement any space. And since beauty is not just on the outside, each appliance boasts innovative technology and leverages the LG ThinQ platform to ensure a smarter home that prioritizes convenience.
      To help consumers realize their dream homes – spaces that embody convenience and evoke positive emotions – LG Vietnam teamed up with AKA, a leading interior design brand that has propriety rights of over 30 famous furniture brands. Together, they crafted inspiring living space concepts showcased in BoConcept showrooms, a luxurious furniture design brand exclusively distributed by AKA. Here, the latest appliances and devices from the LG Objet Collection were prominently displayed, curating harmonious spaces that reflect unique tastes and styles.

      The living room was transformed into an art exhibition with LG OLED Posé TV. The product’s luxurious design, characterized by soft, rounded lines and a beige fabric finish, inspires a warmer, more intimate atmosphere. The Posé minimizes visual clutter by concealing cables and accessories behind its cover, while cleverly routing the power cord along the base.

      The kitchen was elevated with the LG Objet InstaView refrigerator and LG Quadwash TrueSteam dishwasher, which feature elegant designs and advanced technologies to bring aesthetics and convenience to the heart of every home.

      In the bedroom, the LG PuriCare360 Alpha PET air purifier became an indispensable element by quietly cleaning the air, ensuring the best night’s sleep. Its unique two-tiered cylindrical design added a stylish touch that accentuated the relaxing ambiance of the room. The stylish LG Stanby ME smart screen, with various customization options and effortless portability, was another popular choice for family homes.
      Another design marvel for the home was the LG Objet Styler, which boasts a modern design with minimalist square edges, resembling a small wardrobe. To ensure it blends effortlessly into any interior, its screen can be hidden away and only appears when touched by the user. Meanwhile, the LG WashTower introduced a “new breeze” to laundry spaces with its stacked washer and dryer design, utilizing a single control panel for optimal cleaning while saving valuable space.

      Beyond its pioneering and creative designs, the LG Objet Collection integrates LG’s leading technologies, allowing customers to enjoy a daily paradise of convenience. Each product in the high-end collection connects seamlessly to the LG ThinQ app, empowering users to control their devices via smartphone, ensuring spaces are always tailored to their preferences.

      Interior design experts note that the subtle yet elegant colors of beige, black and green not only allow the LG Objet Collection harmonize with a wide array of design styles but also add a touch of refinement and coziness to living spaces. These colors contrast beautifully with natural elements like stone, wood and tiles, enhancing the overall depth of the décor.

      With today’s customers expecting new products to do more with less, the experience space also showcased LG PuriCare Aero Furniture, featuring a unique design that resembles a modern coffee table. Complete with a control panel and a wireless charging pad for smart devices, its cylindrical base purifies the air while maintaining a sleek aesthetic.
      This collaboration between LG and AKA exemplifies the ideal home for modern consumers, merging aesthetically pleasing designs with life-enriching functionality. It reflects LG’s long-standing commitment to enhancing the overall user experience while promoting easier interactions with their products.
