Software updates
Software updates	webOS 25; webOS Re:New supports upgrades for up to five years, varying by model and region, with security support through 31 December 2029. LG Australia's March 19, 2025 launch confirms local availability and lists 48/55/65-inch B5 availability that day. Release records the first confirmed series month; LG's May 12 US release lists 55/65/77-inch models available now and the 83-inch model for preorder. TechRadar's July/August regional date does not override the earlier maker evidence.	NetCast 4.0, explicitly named by LG Norway. 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.
