This agreement enables LG to expand distribution to more devices, on a worldwide basis.

As one of LG’s preferred partners, Widevine’s video optimization and DRM platform will now be included on a wide variety of additional LG products, including connected TVs. Widevine’s video optimization technology ensures that consumers using LG products receive an excellent quality of viewing experience for both live and on-demand content. Widevine’s DRM keeps premium content secure, regardless of the LG device it is delivered to.
