Keep up to date with the London 2012 Olympics on the go on your webOS smartphone

With the current not-great state of the webOS App Catalog and the unsurprisingly dwindling userbase, it's not at all unexpected that nobody went out of their way to create an official or unofficial webOS app for the London 2012 Olympic Games. These Olympic games kicked off today (soccer takes time, the opening ceremony isn't for two more days), and even though there's no app, you can still get yourself some Olympic coverage on the go via your webOS smartphone.

Frustratingly, even though NBC secured a multi-billion-dollar multi-year contract to broadcast the Olympics and opted to put every single event live online (so long as you have a valid subscription to a partner cable or satellite service), those streams aren't available on webOS smartphones or tablets. And it's Flash, which our devices actually support. Granted, they're using a custom version of the YouTube app to stream these live feeds (it's quite nice, with down-to-the-second fine scrubbing), and the webOS-compatible version of Flash wasn't great to begin with and hasn't been updated for well over a year. But still!

We digress and set forth for a solution. Unable to watch the streams at all (unless you want to set up some manner of remote desktop app, but that seems to be overkill in our eyes), we'd at least like to keep tabs on what's going on, who's scored what, and how far ahead Team USA is in the medal race. For that we turn to a free app that's been around for a good long time:

.

Recently added to ScoreCenter's options under mySports in the app's settings is a 2012 Summer Olympics choice. As with the other options in ESPN ScoreCenter, 2012 Summer Olympics adds a page in their left-right swipe panels that gives you the latest scores, upcoming events schedule, general Olympics news, and a breakdown of the overall medal count. The scores and schedule are broken down by sport, with thirty-three options at your disposal, from archery to BMX to fencing to synchronized swimming. If there's a competition happening in London this summer, it's available in ESPN ScoreCenter.

To add the Olympics to your selections in , just tap the gear icon in the bottom left corner of the app, select mySports, tap 'Add a Sport', and select Olympics. From there you'll have an extra bright blue panel with all the Olympic news, scores, and medal counts that you can handle.

      In mid-October, London once again became the global epicenter of artistic inspiration as Frieze London 2025 filled the city with creative energy and cultural dialogue. Joining the celebrations, LG showcased its passion for art and innovation through a stunning presentation that brought together the visionary legacy of Korean modern art and the cutting-edge power of LG OLED technology.
      At Frieze London 2025, LG presented the renowned abstract ink paintings of Se Ok Suh (1929 -2020), a pioneer of modern Korean ink abstraction, digitally reimagined by his sons – renowned contemporary artist Do Ho Suh and visionary architect Eul Ho Suh.

      By combining traditional art forms with LG’s state-of-the-art OLED TVs, the Suh family transformed Se Ok’s iconic ink paintings into a dynamic, immersive digital experience. Do Ho reimagined the beauty and radical inventiveness of Se Ok’s “People” series on the OLED screens, animating marks that explore the philosophical relationship between humanity and infinite space.

      LG SIGNATURE OLED T transparent TV and LG OLED evo TVs served as the canvas for this immersive reimagining, presenting overlapping video animations of Se Ok’s black ink abstractions. Each brushstroke came alive with movement and depth, enhanced by the OLED’s perfect contrast and luminous clarity. Viewers were drawn into a rhythmic interplay of form and light – a seamless fusion of art and technology.
      Eul Ho, who designed and curated the exhibition space, created an environment that reflected both the fluid motion of the artworks and the elegant transparency of LG’s OLED displays. The installation invited visitors to experience art not as something observed, but as something felt – a living, breathing interaction between tradition and innovation.

      Extending beyond Frieze London, this exceptional exhibition continued at the Korean Cultural Centre UK (KCCUK), where Se Ok’s works – reinterpreted by his sons – were displayed on LG’s 83-inch OLED TV. This collaboration between LG and KCCUK formed part of a broader mission to celebrate Korean cultural heritage and bring Se Ok’s visionary artistry to a wider audience. Alongside the digital presentation, a documentary offered deeper insight into Se Ok’s creative journey and the philosophical ideas that shaped his practice.

      Adding to its expanding role in the art world, LG has also partnered with the National Gallery in London, one of the world’s leading cultural institutions. Reflecting a shared commitment to nurturing creativity, the collaboration includes LG’s sponsorship of the Gallery’s “Unexpected View” program – a monthly series where curators and contemporary cultural figures engage in thought-provoking discussions about iconic masterpieces.

      In London’s Thriving Art Season, Se Ok’s Ink Abstraction Comes Alive on
      LG OLED TVs, While LG Engages Artists via Partnership With National Gallery


      SEOUL, Oct. 16, 2025 — Amid the energy of Frieze London 2025, LG Electronics (LG) celebrates the abstract artistry of Se Ok Suh (1929–2020), a pioneer of modern Korean ink abstraction. At Frieze London 2025, this visionary artist’s abstract ink paintings are reinterpreted by his sons, Do Ho Suh and Eul Ho Suh, as an inspiring digital art experience on LG OLED TVs.
      To translate Se Ok Suh’s artistic vision from ink painting to digital art experience, renowned contemporary artist Do Ho Suh, and visionary architect Eul Ho Suh, closely collaborated to create an immersive spatial arrangement. LG OLED TVs provide the ideal digital canvas to present their vision. Through this partnership, Do Ho gives new life to the beauty and radical inventiveness of Se Ok Suh’s “People” series, animating marks that explore the philosophical relationship between humanity and infinite space.
      Presented across multiple LG SIGNATURE OLED T transparent TV and OLED evo TVs, the black ink abstract works are rendered through overlapping video animations, drawing viewers into a compelling narrative that captures the meditative flow of Se Ok Suh’s ink paintings. The innovative capabilities of LG’s transparent OLED screens create a visually striking and immersive experience that will captivate viewers, highlighting the layered interplay and refined lines of Se Ok Suh’s brushwork. The perfect black facilitated by LG’s self-lit OLED technology brings out the depth and subtlety of every stroke in astonishing detail.
      Extending the creative energy sparked by Frieze London across the city’s vibrant art scene, the story behind the project, showcased at Frieze London, will be elaborated for the wider art community at the National Gallery in London. A special event will enable wider reflection on this intergenerational collaboration and the inspiration Do Ho Suh drew from his father’s work in this reinterpretation.
      LG recently began the journey of its partnership with the National Gallery, one of the world’s favorite art destinations, reflecting its commitment to nurturing contemporary artists and their work. As the National Gallery’s Modern and Contemporary Art Partner, LG supports current and upcoming artist projects and relationships with other cultural institutions at the intersection of art and technology.
      “My father often spoke of the infinite universe and space in his work, while he was painting,” said Do Ho Suh. “When I witnessed the moment the LG OLED screen became transparent, it felt as if a two-dimensional picture was transformed into three-dimensional space, revealing the space behind the painting that has been invisible until now.”
      “This exhibition is a meaningful opportunity to share the legacy of Se Ok Suh’s work, digitally reimagined by Do Ho Suh and Eul Ho Suh for Frieze London,” said Kate Oh, head of Experiential Marketing at the LG Media Entertainment Solution Company. “During London Art week, we are excited to take part in projects and events with the cultural partners including National Gallery in London and Korean Cultural Centre UK (KCCUK) to support artists and inspire art lovers and the wider art community across London.”
      During Frieze London 2025, LG and the KCCUK are also hosting K-Art Lab, an interactive exhibition exploring the dialogue between Korean heritage and contemporary creativity. At the event, Se Ok Suh’s reimagined works are showcased on LG’s 83-inch OLED TV, providing visitors a deeply engaging visual experience.
      Visitors to Frieze London 2025 can explore LG’s latest OLED TVs and Se Ok Suh’s artwork, reinterpreted by his sons, in The Regent’s Park from October 15 to 19.
      LG OLED TVs continue to inspire new forms of artistic expression through the integration of art and technology, creating innovative ways to experience creativity in the digital age. To learn more about LG’s latest collaborations and initiatives, visit
