A new "My Channels" feature will allow users to group together favourite TV and set-top box channels on the Launcher Bar for quicker access and ultimately, a smoother experience.
"Quick Settings" will let users adjust TV screen settings while still watching the current programme and "Input Picker" will instantly recognise connected devices for immediate use.
LG has also said it is strengthening connections with Netflix and Amazon to bring its customers a greater selection of 4K content. Netflix currently offers House of Cards, Breaking Bad and its new series Marco Polo in 4K Ultra HD resolution.
Amazon Prime Instant Video meanwhile gives access to a range of 4K movies including After Earth, Elysium, The Amazing Spider Man 2 and The Da Vinci Code.
