LG has licenced its webOS smart TV operating system to some 20 TV manufacturers. Among them Ayonz and its EKO brand. It is a bold move by LG but sees webOS take its place as a mainstream, premium TV operating system.
In the TV world, you have a choice of Android TV (now know as Google TV); Tizen (Samsung), VIDAA (Hisense); and a raft of one-off operating systems based on Linux. Running webOS is a step up for any standard smart TV.
Australian Consumer Electronics distributor Ayonz was first to market globally with its EKO-branded 75″ 4K UHD TV. This debued at last November’s Big W Black Friday sale. The response was impressive, with many stores selling-out on the first day. EKO adds webOS to its line up of TVs which also includes Android TV and standard smart TV options.
Ayonz TV brands include Blaupunkt, Seiki, EKO, S-Vision and are produced in factories in Poland and China. It also sells its TVs in markets including Europe (Germany, Italy, Spain & France) and the Middle East (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon & Kuwait).
Adding webOS to our range provides our customers with a choice of a well-proven TV operating systems. Partnering with LG we are proud to have been the first company globally to have offered this product in 2020”.

LG webOS brings increased smarts to EKO
LG has content agreements in place with all the popular Australian TV apps like Freeview Plus, Netflix, Amazon Prime, YouTube and free-to-air digital channels. It can now use AI and voice to search all those content sources to find shows you want or recommend movies and TV shows to watch based on your viewing preferences. And if the TV supports Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, it provides an experience just like the filmmaker intended.

Why is the sound fluctuating on all channels I watch
Matt it could be the TV stations but I would also contact Ayonz.
Do you know of a universal remote control for eko 65 inch tvs
EKo TV rubbish. Started playing up , slow response to the point you waited ages for the selection to finally get to where you want to go, a restart helped for a day or two, and then some weeks later refused to start/come on at all. After a lot of mucking around with warranty finally a repair guy replaced a board (although he said from another brand but similar) and it went for a couple of weeks and then started to refuse to actual show a picture even you could hear sound. Switching off and on on again would sometimes bring picture up other times not. Then power off at the wall to get the picture back. Never again.
