LG just upgraded WebOS from 4.0 to 5.30.01 for Smart TVs?




These guys from techwibe are saying that they have already updated an LG LH 604 T Smart TV Full HD Version from LG WebOS 4.0 to LG WebOS 5.30.01 and using his LG LH 604 T Full HD version Smart TV  found the following:

Note : You can’t directly go from WebOS 3.5 to WebOS 5.3 .

My experience after using LG LH 604 T Full HD Version review after using it for 4 months.

What did we checked before switching or buying this Television ?

Pros

The picture quality, price, Miracast to mirror my laptop screen and ability to stream 1080p videos without any problem.

Is there a non FHD version ?

Yes and the price is lower and all the specs same as that of FHD version.

Every thing in short after my 4 months of experience.

Super sharp display (FHD, IPS Panel) and viewing angles

Cheaper than other bands

Dust won’t settle on your screen, but on other parts dust may settle if you are living a dusty region
WebOS frequently updated with patches.

Eye comfort mode

Good sound quality

Supports almost all video and audio formats like MKV, AVI, DiviX, AAC etc

Inbuilt apps for Netflix, YouTube, Amazon Prime Video and some country specific apps
Support for Miracast or screen sharing or Inter WiDi. 

Note WiDi is used only in old laptops models

Screen can be turned off, when playing only music.

Remote with pointer mouse, so you can type songs or movie names quickly in YouTube, Netflix etc on the on screen keyboard. Also when you connect or mirror your laptop screen to this TV, remote pointer can be used as mouse and there is scroller on the remote. But only double click supported, no right nor left clicks

Subtitles in the video is supported

2 Years LG warranty (Note this is country specific, so do ask your seller about this)

Very less power consumption, screen consumes 4% of power, speakers consumes (20 Watt) 3% of total power input

Cons

TV lags

Sound mode can’t be changed quickly like picture mode

No support for wireless headphones

Web browser closes after we viewed around 15 1080p YouTube videos, it says out of memory and during restart of the browser the crashed web page is shown for us to continue playing videos

In built YouTube app settings has no option to set resolution of video to play only 1080p videos

Universal remote costs around $75 if you need to buy a new one, note : till now there are no probs with my universal which I clubbed with my set top box (CISCO one) and all functions are supported

During Miracast laptop mouse lags and still now I don’t know how to solve this issue.

Documents like docx,PDF can’t be opened from flash drive or hard drive, but from Miracast its possible.

Does it support USB mode of android mobiles ?

My Sony Xperia USB mode supported but my lenovo USB mode not supported and this is weird!
Final Thought

For this price and with this much features loaded, we say its a good go one.

LG`s SVLab Developers explain LG`s webOS Smart TV objective and features. Video.

WorldWide Tech & Science. Francisco De Jesùs.



LG`s SunnyValle Lab Developers explain the objective and features of the LG`s webOS Smart TV  recently unveiled at CES 2014.

They explain the 3S: Simple Connection, Simple Switching and Simple Discovery. From the Press Release:

Simple to Connect, Easy to Use
The webOS platform, which will be implemented in more than 70 percent of LG’s Smart TVs in 2014, greatly simplifies the smart TV experience. Its ease-of-use makes content searching and viewing, connecting with other devices, and even the initial setup process incredibly smooth. The first time the user turns on the webOS-enabled LG Smart TV, an animated character named BeanBird appears onscreen to help get connected and walk the use through the setup process. All the viewer has to do is shake the Magic Remote or press the OK button to receive further advice from the winged virtual facilitator. webOS can instantly recognize when and what kind of external device has been plugged into the TV and brings up a pop-up menu listing all relevant options for the user to choose from.

Instant Access and Easy Content Switching
The new Launcher, a left-to-right scrollable menu that runs along the lower portion of the screen is one of the most distinctive features of webOS. The Launcher makes it possible to switch between broadcast TV, smart TV content and media stored on external devices without having to return to the Home screen. It allows the viewer to simultaneously watch a show, play a game or browse the internet while searching or downloading other content. What’s more, Live Menu, which can be opened while viewing the TV, keeps the search, recommendation and channel options within easy reach.

Content Discovery Made Simple
The webOS development team in LG’s Silicon Valley Lab created the unique Today menu as a one-stop content recommendation service, suggesting popular TV shows, programs that have been missed as well as full-feature movies. Running horizontally along the center of the screen, the Today bar can also be scrolled up or down via the Magic Remote wheel to reveal more exciting viewing options.

LG’s webOS also offers access to the LG Store’s comprehensive collection of apps. The LG Store lets users browse the most-viewed and most-downloaded items available from across the Smart TV platform, including broadcast TV programs and the latest games. The logically organized categories, which include 3D content, games and movies, employ thumbnail images for fast and convenient selection of content.
