Not all LG TVs will get the upgrade -- only the company's 2019 models featuring artificial intelligence (i.e. those with the ThinQ moniker). These include LG UHD TVs, NanoCell TVs and OLED TVs. The update will be implemented through the Alexa app on these models.

Note that Alexa was available on some LG TVs through the use of an external device; now, no such device will be needed.
