South Korean company LG specialises in home entertainment systems.

A well-recognised brand throughout the world, LG is very well known for their television sets. One of LG’s most popular models is the 49” LG ULTRA HD 4K TV.

Equally, if not more, popular than LG TVs is Google’s Chromecast. The Chromecast is a device that connects to your TV through the HDMI port.

It gives you the option to watch online video streaming services or to send a website displayed on your mobile to your TV.

We have a look into the LG WebOS TV UJ630V Chromecast functionality.

What does WebOS mean on my LG TV?

WebOS is a Smart TV operating system owned by LG.

It allows the TV to have more advanced features, therefore, makes it possible to connect to other devices.

This is done by connecting through the Graphical User Interface (GUI).

LG bought webOS from HP in February 2013 and modified the operating system to use in their Smart TVs.

LG WebOS TV UJ630V Chromecast: Does it work?

LG is one of the TV manufacturers that does not support Chromecast as a built-in feature yet.

You can, however, connect and set up the Chromecast dongle to your TV by doing the following:

  1. Insert the dongle into the HDMI port of the TV.
  2. Go onto the Andriod or iOS app store and search for Google Home and download. Or, if using a PC make sure you have the latest Chrome browser.
  3. Once installed, make sure your Chromecast dongle and devices are connected to the same network.
  4. The app will automatically connect to your Chromecast device as a result.
  5. On the PC, using your browser, go to chromecast.com/setup.
  6. Once set up, using your chosen device, select ‘Cast’ to project the content to your TV.
  7. You will be able to control options like Play, Pause, Fast-Forward and Rewind from the device you are using.

Using this function is a great way to display and enjoy apps on the big screen.
