    Not bad. Only thing lefts is to kill WebOS and Samsung OS.

  • Japan- and South Korea-based international LCD TV vendors as well as China-based vendors are expected to promote Ultra HD smart LCD TVs featuring connectivity with smartphones and handheld devices in 2015, according to industry sources in Taiwan.

    The TVs are expected to be connected through Android as a means for consumers to increase connectivity through their handheld devices and will be a target for vendors to increase their competitive edge in the market as the Ultra HD TV market continues to grow.

    Again?

  • At the 2015 International CES® from Jan. 6-9 in Las Vegas, LG Electronics (LG) will be unveiling an impressive TV lineup featuring the company’s newest webOS 2.0 Smart TV platform. LG’s webOS 2.0 is specifically designed to enhance the key features found in the current generation of Smart TVs, resulting in an outstanding user experience unmatched by any competing system. What’s more, LG is working with content providers such as Amazon and Netflix to ensure that LG TV owners are guaranteed a wide range of viewing options in brilliant 4K resolution.

    LG’s webOS 2.0 takes simplicity and convenience to a whole new level even while managing more content options than ever before. webOS 2.0 offers a long list of improvements and impressive features. Boot time has been reduced by up to 60 percent and accessing content has been made significantly smoother and faster. When switching from the Smart TV Home Screen to YouTube, for example, users will see an improvement in loading time of up to 70 percent.

    Short version - "We made shit less shitty, please buy our new TV"

  • Tizen can also be installed on home appliances such as refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners and robot vacuums. In the age of the Internet of Things where countless devices will be connected to each other, Tizen will make the TV in your living room a control center for your devices.
