LG Uplus: "Weather and News at a Glance When You Turn on the TV"... Revamps U+tv Home Screen
Introduces "U+tv Oneul Ilsang"
LG Uplus said on Oct. 26 that it had revamped the U+tv home screen using artificial intelligence (AI) and launched a new service, "U+tv Oneul Ilsang," enabling customers to check information they need in their daily lives, including weather, news, finance and local information.
"U+tv Oneul Ilsang" is a "daily-life information dashboard on TV" that displays useful everyday information alongside live channels when the TV is turned on. Customers can find the information they need using their TV and remote control without installing a separate app or signing up or logging in.
