Software updateswebOS 24; LG states four upgrades over five years with regional scheduling differences and security support through 31 December 2028.

LG Finland labels the same EA980W as webOS, conflicting with Norway and the original UK reviews. LG's July 2013 retrospective states that curved OLED sales began in Korea in April; this is the global sale month, rather than the later UK introduction.
