2014-01-07
hi this is Nathan Ingram of The Verge we're here at LG's booth at CES checking out its first webOS TVs and its new magic remote choose remote you can see it's a lot smaller than your average TV remote there's no numbers it's a Bluetooth remote and basically the main interface is control through pointing and clicking so this is as if you're watching your live TV from your cable box you can hit the home button it brings up the present screen these are your favorite apps that you use including services you've downloaded like Netflix and Hulu as well as anything hooked up to your TV like a cable box or ps3 and from here you can switch into anything you want so I'm going to launch the Netflix now up comes in that flicks interface just like it is on any other device running Netflix and from here I can bring home backup again obviously we're the Wi-Fi here's a little tough so it's the connection isn't ideal so right back in the menu here you can go right back to cable if you want here and if you go over to the left this is the past this shows any apps you've been using recently so here's my cable box again the LG store if I had one more things they'd all show up here you can yank the exes those quickly go back home here and then on the right side there is a future interface this shows basically every app you've downloaded to the TV or any other sources right so here's a Hulu Vudu have got Skype Pandora Twitter and I didn't think you've been you've downloaded is right here so overall despite the you know tricky conditions the interface is pretty fast fluid and it's a lot more simple than most Smart TV usually seen so this is LG's new webOS TV
