When it comes to consumer electronics, software is as important as hardware. Updates can enhance the performance of your device long after its release, add new features, fix issues, and most importantly, improve security. While we often discuss software updates in relation to smartphones, it’s equally important for other smart technologies in our lives. LG, recognizing this importance, promised five years of updates for webOS TVs. Here are the details…

LG Promises At Least 5 Years Update Guarantee for WebOS TVs

The widespread availability of digital content platforms like YouTube and Netflix has given people the freedom to watch what they want, when they want. This trend has also contributed to the popularity of smart TVs. Nowadays, many of us have modern smart televisions at home or technologies like the Xiaomi TV Stick that smarten up older TVs. However, this situation also brings along some challenges.

Adding another smart device to the ones you already own means another addition to the products list that might concern you in terms of updates. Considering even Android phones have recently been resolving issues in this regard, one can imagine how the situation might be for smart TVs. Thankfully, with its promise of five years of updates for webOS TVs, it aims to change this scenario.

The company announcing the introduction of the 2024 model televisions has promised five years of updates for webOS. However, this update will only apply to LG smart TVs produced in 2024 and later. Consequently, manufacturers of webOS TVs from other companies will still be responsible for their own updates. This situation can be likened to Google’s comprehensive update support for Pixel models while leaving other manufacturers to manage updates independently.
