WebOs 4.5 Multi-view?

[Rolando]

Hello everyone,

I just got the 50UM7500BSP TV, so i know that the webOS 3.0 and 3.5 has the function of Multi-view, where you can see two entrys of video at the same time spliting the screen.

So my answer is the webOS 4.5 has that function? because i cant do it on my TV (well know is up to date at webOS 4.7). I ask to the LG support and they told me that yes it has it, but i cant find it, i dont know if its a app now or what.

Please help me, i need this function.

You can find multiview when pressing the „...“ button.

LG removed the function to use 2 HDMI at the same time with the C9 its only possible to use live TV and HDMI together.

I opend a ticket at LG support.

@Tim

You got feedback from LG?

Hi all, I have my LG UJ701V with software 05.80.50 and I don't have multiview. I had an idea that in the beginning I had this option, but apparently not. It's possible to install any app or webos to have multi view? Even if it's live tv and hdmi as @Timsaid doesn't work. In the home button and app's I don't have that option....

I have the C9 (webOS 5.0) and can access multi-view with TV + 1 HDMI source through the "..." button on the remote, as Tim says, but I would love to use two different HDMI sources. Any updates on the support ticket, @Tim, or a link to follow its resolve?

Answer from LG was they want to check if more customers need this function. Now I have 3 OLEDs at home.

C8 HDMI + HDMI possible 

C9 TV + HDMI possible 

CX no multiview integrated 

i think it’s a dead end for this function after the evolution from C8 to CX.

That's a shame. I guess I'll write them as well then, and get an HDMI switch or something with the feature. I recently started using mine as a monitor for my Mac and PC, which works great so far except that I would like to be able to see both side-by-side rather than having to switch channels back and forth.

Thanks for the update!

Is this TV hardware thing OR WebOS Version thing? Why did they mess this up?

My C9 is running the latest available software which is still 5.0.10

What does LG even mean when they say they are waiting to gauge “customer interest”?   What is their technology that replaces or improves on  multi-view/picture-in-picture? Purchasing a second monitor?  That IS a solution, but quite a wasteful and expensive one.  My second monitor will NOT be an LG. PIP is such an expected feature I neglected to check for it.  I also did not check for a volume button on the remote.   There is no reason for customer interest to go away on either of these “features”.

I’m trying to figure out if I have a multiview/pip option. Makes no sense to not have it on a supposedly SMART tv. I don’t know what C version can someone help?

LG webOS TV UJ6200

Software 05.80.30

With C9 TV+HDMI is possible, with CX you don’t have Multiview anymore.

if you need 2 HDMI, C8 or older is the way to go

Dang! 

Given that all TVs are going to give more Digital Real Estate - Bigger Sizes and 4K / 8K screens, it would make sense for them to give users WAYS to use it/ Multi Task the Multi Views 

What about for Non OLED LG TVs and Multi View?
