LG has begun the process of rolling out webOS 25 for older TV models – it includes all models from 2024 and 2023, as well as selected models from 2022 (including OLED and 8K QNED). This is a continuation of the "Re:New" program, under which the company, contrary to its earlier policy, is updating the system on older devices as well – a similar approach is already being used by Samsung in Tizen OS.
Which models will receive webOS 25?
The update appears about 6–7 months after the release of the 2025 models, which already came with webOS 25 out of the box.
First on the list are OLED TVs (including the B series), as well as selected QNED models.
Look for software version 33.21.85 or newer 33.22.15 (the latter includes additional bug fixes). The update is being rolled out globally in waves, so it may take some time before you see it in your TV's menu. Alternatively, you can manually download the firmware from the LG support page and install it via USB.
New Features in webOS 25
While it's not a huge revolution, the new version brings a lot of practical changes:
the ability to hide pre-installed applications on the home screen,
improved input shortcut – toggles only after clicking, not hovering,
support for 1440p 120 Hz (especially useful for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2),
new AI Sound Mode,
AI Art features in selected regions,
more screensaver options + the ability to add your own photos,
redesigned smart home device control hub.
Let’s remind that webOS 24 previously added support for Google Cast (Chromecast).
Attention – memory issues
Some users are reporting memory issues that may cause media players to freeze – both the built-in one and external apps (e.g., Plex).
If you regularly use such apps, it is advisable to postpone the update until fixes are released or to use external devices like Apple TV 4K or Nvidia Shield.
