Software updates
Software updates	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.	Launched with the original webOS Smart+ interface; the retained LG Czech page now says webOS 2.0. LG's syndicated August 27 2014 release states the US EC9300 was on sale that month, supporting August first-sale precision without treating the earlier promised August 24 day as independently confirmed delivery.
