Yes, Paramount Plus brings 4K and HDR content to LG TVs, which also applies to any other platform supported by this media streaming service. However, the currently accessible library of 4K titles spans across some fifty titles - so don't expect a lot of content in this video resolution.

Of course, to take full advantage of your LG TV, it needs to support up to 4K resolution. And on top of that, you need a fast Internet connection. In general, it’s recommended to have at least a 30 Mbps Web connection to stream in 4K Ultra HD.

Can’t Find Paramount Plus on Your LG TV? Here’s What to Do!

We know that LG can be somewhat slow to make new apps available to all of its customers. So, if you can't find Paramount Plus on LG's Content Store, we first recommend restarting your TV. More precisely, unplug it and then plug it back in after waiting around 30 seconds. 

Also, our strong recommendation is to update your TV’s operating system, as Paramount Plus requires WebOS 4.0 or newer. Unless you have the needed WebOS version, Paramount Plus won’t show up in the LG Content Store.
