When it comes tothe best OLED TVs, LG is always high up the list. But not content with only providing the best panels you can set your eyes on, LG has just revealed a great free streaming update that means you can also wrap your retinas around some of the best streaming shows and movies too.
In the UK (and much of Europe), LG just expanded its LG Channels line-up. And before you shrug it off and rubbish it for being lesser thanthe best streaming servicesavailable today, if you’re not paying for, say,Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, you’re going to really like this latest zero-cost update.
Owners of LG TVs made from 2016 and later will benefit from the new LG 1 streaming channel. It’s ad-supported, so you’ll have to endure various breaks, but that seems part and parcel of any service that’s completely free (or not, indeed, as evenAmazon added ads to its Prime Video service).
In addition to the LG 1 channel content – includingWong & Winchester,Paul T. Goldman,Nashville, andBoss(as part of a Lionsgate partnership) – are Sony channels, such as Sony Pictures' Sony One channels, includingBreaking Badand its spin-offBetter Call Saul. Both those are stand-out 5-star shows and you can watch the whole lot for free on anycurrent LG TV in the company’s range– so long as it’s been made within the last 8 years anyway.

There’s plenty more besides, so whether you’re aBreaking Badfan or not, the addition of movies from Sony Pictures' channels will also appeal, with the likes ofStep Brothers,Jerry Maguire,Men In Black, andJerry Maguireall available. On the comedy front there’s the wholeSeinfeldseries too.
LG Channels isn’t a new idea, it’s long been available via the LG Magic Remote or on compatible LG TV home-screens. It’s just that now, thanks to this update, you’ll be able to access even more and even better shows without the need to sign-up to additional services.
Just another reason that LG makes some ofthe best TVsthat money can buy. And if you don’t own one then the OLED G4, available in 55-, 65-, 77- and 84-inch sizes, as shown in the shopping widget below, is a stunning classic OLED TV that’s well worth considering.
