The 2021 edition of CES will give pride of place to innovations in the field of Smart TVs, with Sony notably presenting the new Bravia XR TVs boosted with artificial intelligence. LG is not left out, since it has already presented a gaming screen that curves at will. The firm does not stop there and also unveils the new version of webOS, the operating system installed on its televisions.
This 6th version has thus acquired a completely new design, destined to be more intuitive for its user. For this, the home screen now occupies all the space, while the old version only occupied its lower part. To support this change, the latter now displays the most used applications, as well as content recommendations based on viewing history.
