LG’s 2016 Smart TVs will offer a host of new features courtesy of a software update.
Consumers face a growing, even dizzying, array of options for electronic entertainment.
Smart TVs have to compete for attention with Blu-ray devices, media players and gaming consoles.
That variety, though, means the interfaces for smart TVs are often confusing and clumsy to use.

LG is touting three major new features.
And with the new on-screen Magic Remote, you could control set-top boxes and DVRs with a single remote.
Other features are also in store.
A Channel Advisor looks at your favorite programs and displays information about upcoming shows that you frequently watch.
Can you upgrade the software on your existing LG Smart TV to WebOS 3.0?
LG is mum on that matter.
A company spokesman said LG isn’t yet ready to make any announcements on potential upgrades.
