LG Smart TV has a lot to offer – whether it’s the superior contrast and black level of the world-class OLED or the intelligent webOS platform – but one of the best parts of owning an LG Smart TV is the ability to personalize your TV experience with apps. If you’re not the type to be interested in a separate set-top box for streaming, with LG TV you can download, delete and update any app of your choice so that your favorite services are in one place — on the TV itself. If you’re a new user struggling to download apps to your LG Smart TV, here’s a simple guide to help you get started.
Note: Your TV may have a slightly different interface depending on the model, but most of the functions and steps to follow are similar enough that you can figure it out with a little fiddling.
