Software updateswebOS 2.0. The UK launch reviews describe no HDR support; a bounded exact European firmware search did not verify its later availability. Separately, LG's US September 2015 release confirms EG9600 HDR streaming after a firmware update, and Japan's November release confirms network/USB HDR with HDMI explicitly unsupported. Japan's current page names HDR10. Those regional updates are not assigned to the UK EG960V main HDR fields. First-sale year remains 2015: the UK April review confirms retail availability, but an exact first worldwide sale month remains unresolved.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. The 97-inch rollout is not dated by that Australian announcement.
