Software updatesNetCast 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.webOS 24; four upgrades over five years, with regional schedules. LG Australia confirmed its TV range available now on March 14, 2024 and listed 55/65/77/83-inch G4 in-store in March; release records the first confirmed series month, not a universal size or regional day.

StandLG publishes only the complete fixed-stand dimensions and weight: 1227 × 798.5 × 192 mm (W × H × D), 17.2 kg. No panel-only weight is assigned. UK reviews identify the stand as non-removable and the TV as unsuitable for conventional wall mounting.UK G45LW versions include a wall bracket; 55/65-inch G46LS versions include a stand instead, with a wall bracket sold separately. Maker with-stand dimensions (W × H × D): 55″ 1222 × 787 × 263 mm; 65″ 1441 × 910 × 263 mm; 77″ 1712 × 1039 × 321 mm; 83″ 1847 × 1115 × 321 mm.

Stands shown in the larger wall-version specifications are optional. Main weights exclude stands.
