HP webOS

Hi RedLund, like you when I bought my very first OLED LG TV a few years ago, I also had the same thoughts : why LG made the webOS so locked down ? Also like you I was looking for a smarter remote, easier to use and a nice interface ala android. For elder people, webOS is a nightmare ! I tried to find a way to workaround webOS or even to reprogram some part (yes there is a web OS open system) but this is too heavy to change and to maintain. I end up with NOT USING WEBOS. This is sad but I have some people at home that cannot use complex devices. So the only choice is to use either an android box or Apple TV 4K. For the quality and simplicity, I choosed Apple TV which comes with a nice small remote and nice easy-to-use interface. And offers a verygood image quality ! 

In a world where small actions can drive meaningful change, LG Taiwan is leading the way with a shining example of compassion and community commitment. For 13 years, LG Taiwan has worked hand-in-hand with the Children Are Us Foundation, a local charity dedicated to empowering individuals with intellectual disabilities through vocational training and social enterprise programs, including the production of handmade lunchboxes. Through sponsoring these lunchboxes, LG has helped deliver nutritious meals to over 4,000 underprivileged children living in rural areas. LG has contributed not only financial support but also time and care through volunteer activities that foster deep connections with individuals with intellectual disabilities. This year, the partnership took a creative turn with the introduction of an “aesthetic living” concept – an initiative that leverages collaborative art projects to nurture focus, creativity and communication skills. This evolution reflects LG Taiwan’s belief that technological advancement must go hand in hand with social responsibility, in line with LG’s brand promise of Life’s Good. Led by managing director Jeong Yeon-kwan, LG Taiwan volunteers recently participated in the Mandala Star art project, a powerful expression of inclusivity and empowerment. Designed to promote self-expression and a sense of achievement, the project transforms individuals with disabilities from passive recipients to active creators. Through vibrant colors, imaginative patterns and shared experiences, participants explored their creativity while building confidence and forming meaningful bonds with volunteers. These efforts reflect LG Taiwan’s ongoing dedication to the company’s Better Life for All vision. By combining innovation with human connection, LG is using its influence to foster positive social change. Through hands-on engagement and heartfelt outreach, LG is bringing the Life’s Good spirit to local communities – one action, one smile and one story at a time.

Experience a Captivating Fusion of Art and Technology as Steven Harrington’s Whimsical Pop Art Comes to Life on LG’s Most Advanced TVs for 2025 SEOUL, May 7, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG) is partnering with iconic psychedelic pop artist and LA 2028 Olympics logo designer Steven Harrington at Frieze New York 2025 for the “Steven Harrington X LG OLED: Stop to Smell the Flowers” exhibition, showcasing the artist’s dynamically vivid artwork on LG’s latest and most premium OLED TVs. This collaboration highlights the visual excellence and vibrant colors of LG’s newest OLED lineup, including the transparent LG SIGNATURE OLED T – bringing the kinetic energy of Harrington’s California-inspired work to life for a truly immersive digital art experience. Known for his vibrant and immersive psychedelic pop art, Harrington joins forces with LG to demonstrate the strengths of OLED technology, including perfect blacks and vivid colors.* Harrington chose LG OLED as his digital canvas, citing the display’s ability to faithfully capture his artistic vision through exceptional color reproduction and design innovation. Together, they have created a whimsical exhibition at Frieze, highlighting the unique qualities of both the artist’s work and LG’s technology. Visitors to the exhibition will meet Mello, one of Harrington’s signature characters who embodies the joy of everyday moments and creativity – brought to life on the advanced LG SIGNATURE OLED T transparent TV. Mello playfully waves to the audience against an opaque floral backdrop. As he invites the audience to come closer, the flowers fall away, revealing a transparent screen where they can step behind to take a picture with Mello. This dynamic transition between opaque and transparent screens offers a surreal, AR-like experience for exhibition-goers. Set against a muted black and grey background, LG OLED screens amplify the brilliance of Harrington’s vibrant imagery. The exhibition features the new LG OLED evo M5 and G5 models, along with the LG StanbyME 2 TVs – all displaying Harrington’s colorful works, with Mello seamlessly moving in and out of the screens. The M5 highlights its wireless capabilities for a clutter-free setup, while the G5 boasts its exceptional self-lit technology for stunning visuals with deep blacks. The soon-to-be-launched StanbyME 2 is one of the most versatile portable lifestyle TVs, adaptable for various settings – whether wall-mounted, propped up or placed on a stand. “This collaboration has opened up new avenues in my art as I got to be one of the first artists to work with the LG OLED transparent TV,” said Harrington. “LG’s OLED TV is the ultimate digital canvas, delivering rich blacks and maximizing depth and realism with precise color expression,” said Kate Oh, vice president of experiential marketing at LG Electronics. “We are excited to collaborate with bold artists like Steven Harrington, whose unique style aligns perfectly with LG OLED’s mission to inspire art and connect people through innovative digital experiences.” Visitors to Frieze New York 2025 can experience LG’s latest OLED TVs and Harrington’s artwork from May 7 to 11 at The Shed. Recognized by artists worldwide as the ultimate digital canvas, LG OLED continues to merge cutting-edge technology with contemporary art through various cultural initiatives. The Frieze NY exhibition marks the first showcase of the SIGNATURE OLED T since its U.S. launch last December. This premium display offers stunning visuals with unparalleled clarity and seamlessly integrates into any environment. Following Frieze, LG will partner with Italian design brand Kartell to display the SIGNATURE OLED T at Kartell’s New York flagship store – building on their successful partnership at CES 2025, where LG’s transparent TV was paired with Kartell’s iconic transparent furniture. Additionally, LG will work with Ayoung Kim, trailblazing digital artist and the third recipient of the LG Guggenheim Award, for an upcoming exhibition at the Guggenheim Museum.

First and foremost, I want to say that it's a fantastic picture of mom's new LG TV. But as I understand it, webOS is very locked down in terms of moving icons as you want, which makes the TV very difficult to use and navigate. Is there any app that allows me to configure my LG TV with webOS as I want, similar to what's available for Android TV?

Well over a month & no replies, how do these issues get attention from LG?
