LG webOS smart TV sales pass one million mark

LG has sold more than one million units of its webOS-enabled Smart+ TVs since the launch of the TV line in March. 

Announcing the milestone figure, LG said that it now expects sales to reach 10 million units by the first half of 2015 and said that the TVs will be available in more than 150 markets by the end of this month.

“Reaching the one million mark in just three months is a significant achievement in the TV industry. Rather than continuing to add more and more functions into our smart TVs that few people will ever use, we’ve decided to focus on simplicity with our 2014 Smart+ TVs with webOS. Consumers seem to share our view that this is the right direction for the evolution of smart TVs going forward,” said In-kyu Lee, senior vice president and head of the TV division at the LG Electronics Home Entertainment Company.
