Compatibles TVs

[ndabar]

Hi guys,

 

What are the compatible models? Only the TVs from 2014?

 

I have the model 47LA620, will it be included? or could I install/run webOS?

 

Many thanks

Nacho

Its up in the air right now until they get released. I would imagine only new tvs. This is not official word, since we are not LG, just a webos entusiast forum. I'm waiting as is everyone else!

I have 42LA620V and recived today a message: 

"AN IMPORTANT UPDATE IS AVAILABLE FOR YOUR TV

LG works hard to ensure that the features and technology on your Smart TV are up-to-date.

An important update to the Terms & Conditions and options will soon become available for your TV after the end of February in 2014.
Please see the FAQ at [www.lgappstv.com] for more information.
We encourage you to take the easy steps to update your TV when notified: Go to your Settings menu, select Support, then Software Update."

 

May be it's update to WebOS ?!

The same message appeared on 42LM760T (2012), so don't expect anything like that  I think it's just updated terms and agreement.

Why not? Hardware 2012's and 2013's very similar.

Similarly incapable of running WebOS, yes

I have a friend from LG QA, he tested WebOS  on  "unknown" hardware... It' hardware looked like a 6-series of 2013 year (I seen photo)... But he says what update for older TV he don't tested and nothing heard about that

[SilentLexx]

I found a photo. I was wrong, it's not look like a 6th series:

IMHO: But if LG wants to sell more apps, it must ported new platform to old devices

[needz]

The apps will be more or less compatible, because it's just Javascript+HTML.. as it's now.

I wonder if old non webos TVs and new webos TVs access the same apps on the same catalogs?

No no no, WebOS's framework and NetCast's framework are very diferent.

So essentially 2 different app catalogs?

Will see...

Exactly let's see what happen!!

 

All TVs are similar in appearance but they are running different OS.

 

webOS is linux-based operanting system, I would like to think that ours TVs can run this OS but... that means to reinstall the system!

 

Could you install Android OS in an iPhone?
