John Lewis' JL9000 own-brand smart TVs run webOS, are made by LG
John Lewis has announced its own range of smart TVs to be sold in stores. The sets are part of the JL9000 range, and are made by LG. As such, they run the webOS platform.
The TVs come in three sizes: 49, 55 and 60 inches. A 50-watt, 2.2-channel soundbar plus subwoofer comes built into the stand. With that room-filling sound, you shouldn’t need any additional speakers to get the real cinema treatment

webOS brings together a host of on-demand TV shows, films, sport and music services. It even has a cartoon character called BeanBird, who’ll help guide you through getting it up and running.
