LG is extending its new webOS Hub 2.0S for third party brands to include smart monitors, in a response to the expanding smart TV market as well as the highly increasing number of single-person households.
The company says that while smart TVs are catering for families, the increasing number of single-person households has led to a significant demand for smart monitors, making webOS Hub 2.0S an option for smaller screens.
A new addition on the main home UI screen of webOS Hub 2.0S is the Card App Home Hub & Music, granting access to a number of services. Featuring a smart home ecosystem dashboard, users can customize control capabilities with supportive device status monitoring for TVs and IoT-based devices.
Functions such as Remote PC allow easy access to content for hybrid work, ensuring users a seamless transition to office PCs or laptops. The platform enables video calling and conferencing with support for USB cameras and includes a home fitness experience.
To cater to students and working professionals, webOS 2.0S allows accessibility to streaming services like Netflix and YouTube. Compatibility with Apple Home and AirPlay enables users to easily and securely control compatible smart home accessories and effortlessly stream movies, music, games and photos using their Apple devices as well.
