    LG Smart TVs provide great audio-visual experiences. They explain themselves as Internet-connected TVs that give access to the world of entertainment. Unlike other Smart TVs, they run on a dedicated operating system called WebOS. Therefore, you can install the applications that are compatible with this OS. To install new apps, they offer a dedicated store named LG Content Store. Here is the guide to download apps from LG Content Store if you’re a new LG Smart TV user.

    Like other Smart TVs, LG Smart TV comes with some pre-installed apps like YouTube, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and a few more.
