* The availability of multi video tags feature may differ by models.

Usability

Digital signage is often delivered in large quantities, requiring repetitive and time-consuming setups. webOS Signage offers various user conveniences to alleviate this inconvenience.

Customizable Screen Arrangement

WebOS Signage offers scalability through customizable screen sizes (e.g., 2×2, 4×6), allowing for tailored installations to suit specific purposes, with the added flexibility of rotatable screens. Additionally, it provides preconfigured settings tailored for different verticals such as malls, QSR (Quick Service Restaurant), transportation, education, and more, each with its own dedicated preset mode. This feature simplifies initial setup and enables versatile video configurations for each vertical.

Simplified Initial Setup

The ‘QUICK START’ menu contains all initial set-up values on one page, giving you one-stop access to select each item such as language, rotation, and input source. You can also easily move to other detailed settings by clicking on the bottom button. With all signage-related functions indexed in ‘EZ SETTING’, you can search and set frequently-used menus. Even if you are a beginner, each menu comes with detailed descriptions for ease of use. Setting up and getting associated apps is easy.

Device Management

Registering webOS devices on LG’s cloud platform, known as LG Business Cloud, allows for effortless management. Within LG Business Cloud, customization of specific settings like DPM mode and server configurations for signage is possible and can be applied uniformly.

* Firmware updates may be required to register webOS devices on LG Business Cloud.

Reliability

Reliability is crucial when it comes to using signage products. When used for commercial purposes, not only is the hardware's durability important for longer playback times compared to regular displays, but also the reliability of content playback, which should not be interrupted. webOS Signage provides various features to enhance reliability from installation to actual usage.

High Performance SoC

Based on a high-performance System-on-Chip (SoC), it can execute several tasks at once and provide smooth content playback.

Constant Content Play

In commercial signage, content may suddenly stop playing due to unexpected network problems. To reduce interruptions from failovers, automatic playback of alternative content can be enabled.

Installation Accuracy

If signage products are initially installed at an incorrect angle, the displayed content will also be played at an incorrect angle in the future. To prevent such errors from installation, webOS Signage products are equipped with a self-leveler tool for checking horizontal and vertical levels during installation, minimizing the possibility of errors.

* The availability of leveler tool feature may differ by models.

Compatibility

Signage products are used both independently and in conjunction with solutions or other equipment. WebOS Signage offers high compatibility, allowing integration with various hardware and solutions.

Compatibility with Hardware

webOS Signage offers screen mirroring capabilities through Miracast feature. This allows content playback by mirroring devices such as smartphones and tablets to webOS Signage. It facilitates easy screen sharing in meeting rooms where signage products are installed.

Compatibility with Solutions

webOS Signage is compatible not only with solutions developed by LG, such as LG Business Cloud, but also with professional AV control solutions like CISCO and Crestron Connected.

Programming Language Compatibility

webOS Signage facilitates easy development of apps used within webOS Signage by being compatible with programming languages such as HTML, JavaScript, and CSS. Also, web engine LTS (Long-term support) provides latest development condition.

Security

When digital signage is exposed to external hacking, there can be instances of unintended content playback. From a business perspective, such incidents can have a significant impact on the company's image. LG Shield takes various security measures to mitigate the risks associated with external hacking.

Five-tiered Defense System

LG Shield goes beyond security measures at the operating system (OS) level. It employs a five-tiered defense system, encompassing server, application, operating system, system (kernel) and hardware. Each layer operates independently to provide broad protection against various threats.

This image shows that the hardware, system, OS, application, and server are secured.

Real-time Monitoring

Detecting security issues in real-time allows for prompt responses and decision-making when problematic behaviors arise. Enhancing security is achieved through technologies that provide real-time protection and functions that log any problematic situations, bolstering overall security measures.

* All real-time monitoring features are disabled by default and can only be enabled by user preference.

Intrusion Detection & Prevention System (IDPS)

It serves as a robust defense mechanism, dedicated to ensuring the security of networks and systems through continuous, real-time monitoring.

This image highlights an administrator’s ability to manage the system via a laptop, with real-time issue detection.

Secure Audit Logging

It plays a crucial role in safeguarding networks and systems from security threats. This system combines real-time monitoring with proactive measures to ensure robust defense mechanisms against unauthorized access and malicious activities.

This image illustrates the server's capability to detect display errors as they occur.

Security Threat Management System

With LG ConnectedCare, when risk factors are detected, information is transmitted to the server and real-time defense and response commands are delivered to the device.

* To use the LG ConnectedCare, a separate paid subscription is required.

Security Zone Division

A simple yet powerful way to enhance security is by establishing separate security zones. This method strengthens security across three of the five layers: OS, system, and hardware.
