Loopvew turns the same panel into part of a managed network. columns: - Capability - Built-in display software - Loopvew on webOS rows: - - Platforms covered - LG only - Six platforms, one CMS - - Scheduling - Basic - Dayparting, multi-location - - Device management - Per display - Central and remote - - Content types - Media files - Zones, widgets, HDMI-in - - Offline playback - Varies by model - Keeps playing useCases: - label: Retail screens href: /solutions/industries/retail icon: shopping-bag - label: Restaurants and QSR href: /solutions/industries/restaurants icon: utensils - label: Healthcare displays href: /solutions/industries/healthcare icon: heart-pulse - label: Conference rooms href: /solutions/use-cases/conference-rooms icon: users supportedFeatures: - Run Loopvew natively on the display's built-in SoC - Prepare content, layouts, and schedules in the CMS - Show live HDMI sources in a zone on supported models - Keep downloaded playlists playing through network outages knownLimitations: - Consumer LG TVs are not supported by the native player - Model and firmware determine native player compatibility - Browser-based content and codecs require on-device testing - Remote controls and offline behavior vary by display model faq: - question: Can I install Loopvew on a consumer LG TV? answer: The native webOS player supports compatible LG commercial signage displays, not consumer LG TVs. Similar product names do not establish the same application installation or device-management capabilities. - question: Is an external player required for webOS signage? answer: A compatible LG commercial display has a built-in system-on-chip that can host a native player. Confirm the model and required content before choosing this approach over an external HDMI player. - question: Which LG models and webOS versions are supported? answer: Share the display model, commercial webOS version, firmware, and intended content with Loopvew to confirm compatibility. Requirements vary by commercial display model and firmware. - question: Where do I get the webOS application? answer: The webOS player is available. Public installation links are coming soon; contact Loopvew for the current procedure for your display. A consumer LG app-store link is not a substitute for a commercial signage installation path. - question: Does webOS signage work offline? answer: Yes, for downloaded media — the player keeps its synced content playing if the network drops and resyncs when it returns. Live websites and data feeds require connectivity, and local storage varies by display, so test a realistic outage before rollout. - question: Can Loopvew control display power and brightness? answer: Yes, on supported commercial models — Loopvew can schedule screen on/off times, adjust brightness and volume, capture screenshots, and reboot the display. Exact controls depend on the model and firmware, so confirm your specific display with the team. --- ## Why choose a built-in webOS player? An LG commercial webOS display includes its own computing platform. A compatible native signage application can run on that system without adding an external box behind the screen. This can simplify mounting, cabling, and the number of separate devices to maintain. Loopvew's webOS player supports commercial signage hardware. It is not a consumer-TV application promise. Start by identifying the panel and confirming whether its firmware and built-in player are suitable for your content. ## How to install the webOS player The three steps below summarize the flow — confirm the display, install and pair, then publish and validate. The [LG webOS setup guide](/docs/player-apps/webos) keeps the installation checklist and download-link status in one place. ## Check firmware, media, and operations Native players inherit the limits of the display's processor, storage, supported codecs, and web engine. Test websites and dashboards on the actual panel rather than relying on how they look in a desktop browser. Offline playback needs its own test. Downloaded files, live streams, and authenticated websites have different connectivity requirements. Confirm what remains available when the network disappears and how the player behaves when it returns. Review remote power, brightness, screenshot, and restart needs with the team. Separately check LG's rated operating hours, thermal requirements, mounting orientation, and warranty for the intended installation. ## Where commercial webOS displays fit Evaluate a native webOS setup for [retail communication](/solutions/industries/retail), [office reception screens](/solutions/industries/offices), and commercial-display networks that benefit from fewer external components. Start with one representative screen before standardizing across locations. Compare [Samsung Tizen](/platforms/samsung-tizen) for a Samsung commercial estate. Use an [Android](/platforms/android) or [Windows](/platforms/windows) player when an external device is a better fit for the screen or content.
