Hulu with Live TV is a great option if you want to keep up on your favorite shows but still have access to Hulu’s expansive library of on-demand content. Now it’s available on even more devices, while some devices that already had the app are getting an updated user interface that makes it even easier for you to find and watch your favorite movies and shows.

As of today, April 10, Hulu’s updated UI is available on most webOS-powered LG smart TVs. These include all of the company’s 2017 and 2018 smart TVs, as well as select 2016 models. To see if your model is supported, check the list of supported models on the Hulu website.

More Roku owners are also getting the updated UI. If you have a Roku Streaming Stick 3500X (that’s the purple one, if you’re not sure) or a Roku 2 (4210X), you’ll now have access to Hulu’s updated UI. If you own a Roku 3, Roku 4, or any of Roku’s most recent models, you have already had access to the new UI for some time.

Ahead of its official CES 2023 presentation, LG has given us a taste of its TV tech for the coming year, especially as it relates to the company's lineup of OLED TVs. Once again, the G Series takes center stage, with the G3 OLED evo 4K. LG says that thanks to its Brightness Booster Max technology, the 55-, 65-, and 77-inch G3 models will see an increase in brightness by up to 70%.

The G3 OLED evo will also look a lot better when wall-mounted. LG calls its new One Wall Design approach "ultra-seamless" and says that it will leave no visible gap between the wall and the G3. That's saying a lot considering the G2 OLED evo was already impressively tight to the wall when wall-mounted.
