After nearly a year in the making, webOS is expected to reappear at the Consumer Electronics Show in January. Instead of powering a mobile device, however, LG will finally take the wraps off a webOS-powered HDTV.
And thanks to @evleaks, we may know what the television set will look like. The prolific leaker, who has a solid track record for unofficial gadget previews, released the image above on Thursday with the simple caption "webOS TV, by LG, 2014."
A webOS TV has been expected from LG since last February after the Korea-based electronics maker acquired the rights to the mobile operating system from Hewlett-Packard. At the time LG said it intended to use webOS to "support its next-generation Smart TV technology."
If the image from @evleaks turns out to be the real deal, it appears LG will use a redesigned take on the webOS card metaphor designed to let you quickly switch between apps. Instead of standard rectangles that you'd see on a smartphone, LG's app cards are a little more stylized, appearing as diagonal banners across the bottom of the screen.
