WebOS Hub 2.0s Marks LG’s Expansion in the Platform Business

LG Electronics (LG) has revealed that the recently launched webOS Hub 2.0S, initially introduced for TVs in September, is now extending its reach to smart monitors in response to the growing smart TV market and the surge in single-person households. While smart TVs traditionally target family settings, the increasing prevalence of single-person households has fueled demand for smart monitors. The webOS Hub 2.0S, with its blend of convenience and a diverse content offering, is positioned as an ideal choice for smaller screens.

This latest iteration of the webOS Hub 2.0S boasts enhanced hardware adaptability, expanding beyond smart TVs to provide third-party brands with a broader range of options for delivering a customizable user experience.

A notable feature on the primary home UI screen of the webOS Hub 2.0S is the Card App Home Hub & Music, simplifying access to various services with a single remote click. The inclusion of a smart home ecosystem dashboard allows users to tailor control capabilities while monitoring the status of TVs and IoT-based devices.

Tailored to meet diverse user needs, the webOS Hub 2.0S offers an array of services and features. Users can effortlessly access music from popular apps like Spotify or locally stored files via the Card App Music feature. Features such as Remote PC facilitate easy access to content for hybrid work scenarios, ensuring a seamless transition between home and office devices. The platform supports convenient video calling and conferencing with USB camera compatibility, and it enhances home fitness experiences. For students and professionals, webOS 2.0S provides access to streaming services like Netflix and YouTube. Its compatibility with Apple Home and AirPlay* allows users to control smart home accessories securely and stream content effortlessly from their Apple devices.

With its exceptional services and unmatched versatility, LG has strategically expanded its market presence over the past three years by integrating the webOS Hub into products from over 300 brands. Building on this success, LG is further extending the webOS Hub platform to a wider range of smart TVs and smart monitors, reinforcing its position in the industry with a commitment to delivering a seamless webOS Hub experience across diverse devices.
