Making its debut at KBIS, the new LG InstaView™ refrigerator allows users to change the color of the InstaView LED light (using the ThinQ app) to suit their preference. In addition, LG is displaying two new refrigerators with MoodUP™ that employ stainless steel feel material on surface, and a bottom-freezer fridge – with color-changeable door panels that can be easily managed with the LG ThinQ app. 

New Simple Design for Contemporary Living

In the LG STUDIO zone, attendees can explore the expanded LG STUDIO Essence White Series, which prioritizes simple, understated design and offers a selection of colors for customizing the appliances’ knobs and handles.

Smart Home Solution for a Zero Labor Home

Highlighting the company’s ‘Zero Labor Home’ vision, the Zero Labor Home zone centers on LG’s ThinQ UP 2.0-compatible appliances incorporating the LG AI Appliance Chipset and designated operating system and the groundbreaking LG Smart Home AI Agent. Visitors can experience the differentiated value and unique capabilities of the Smart Home AI Agent and ThinQ™ through a range of real-life usage scenarios with LG’s home appliances. In a short video focusing on dinner preparation, the Smart Home AI Agent connects with the InstaView fridge and wall oven with built-in high definition camera to check available ingredients, recommend menus and provide cooking steps.

Revealed at this year’s CES, LG’s Smart Home AI Agent uses cutting-edge robotic and multi-modal technologies that enable it to move, learn and comprehend in order to help free people from the burden of household chores. Thanks to LG’s collaboration with Microsoft Azure Open AI, the Smart Home AI Agent is capable of engaging in more complex conversations with users.

“As people’s lifestyles become more diverse and complex, the demand for ultra-personalized solutions will continue to rise,” said Lyu Jae-cheol, president of LG Electronics Home Appliance & Air Solution Company. “The advanced home appliances and cutting-edge technologies we’re presenting at KBIS 2024 are designed to meet the needs of any and all users. We will continue to deliver customized, energy-efficient housing solutions that offer a differentiated home experience.”

      All of a sudden, the row of inputs showed up at the bottom of the home screen on my C1. I’ve tried every setting but can’t seem to get rid of them. I used to just call them up as needed (input button on remote) but now they’re there permanently. Any ideas?

      Designed for Ultimate Gaming Immersion, the New GX7 Features
      Advanced WOLED Technology and Cutting-Edge Connectivity

      SEOUL, Nov. 18, 2024 — LG Electronics (LG) is unveiling its latest, premium UltraGear OLED gaming monitor GX7 (model 27GX790A). Designed for serious gamers, the new model features a 27-inch, QHD resolution (2,560 x 1,440) WOLED display with a 0.03milliseconds Gray-to-Gray (GTG) response time and a 480Hz refresh rate – the fastest of any QHD OLED monitor. The 27GX790A, the most compact UltraGear OLED display yet, delivers enhanced gaming immersion with exceptional picture quality, silky-smooth performance and 4-side virtually borderless design. It also works seamlessly with the newest graphics cards, thanks to an array of advanced connectivity options, including DisplayPort 2.1.
      The all-new 27GX790A is equipped with LG’s WOLED display technology, which employs a white OLED light source with color filters to produce accurate RGB colors and impressive screen brightness. This technology provides a high contrast ratio, vibrant colors, deep blacks and excellent motion clarity – even during the most fast-paced gaming action – LG’s WOLED tech has earned the new UltraGear OLED gaming monitor both VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 certification and highest VESA ClearMR tier.
      Additionally, the 27GX790A offers NVIDIA G-SYNC® compatibility and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro support, further enhancing the gaming experience by eliminating distracting screen-tearing and flickering. The application of LG’s Anti-Glare & Low Reflection (AGLR) Coating provides a more comfortable gaming experience in brighter rooms, enabling gamers to see what’s happening on screen without difficulty.
      Incorporating DisplayPort 2.1 and HDMI 2.1 interfaces, the 27-inch UltraGear OLED gaming monitor ensures compatibility with the latest consoles and gaming PCs, as well as next-generation GPUs expected to launch in early 2025. DisplayPort 2.1 yields a 67 percent increase in bandwidth compared to DisplayPort 1.4, meaning it can support higher resolutions and refresh rates.
      Contributing to a cleaner gaming setup, the monitor’s slim, flat L-shaped stand lets users place their keyboard on top of its base and offers ergonomic comfort and customizability with a swivel range of -30 to 30 degrees. It also comes with a 4-pole headphone jack to allow convenient in-game communications via headset and supports DTS Headphone:X. DTS’s three-dimensional audio solution for headphones provides accurate sound positioning, helping users pinpoint where noises are coming from – which can mean the difference between victory and defeat in intense FPS or online battle royale games.
      “An ideal choice for serious gamers, the 27GX790A boasts a 27-inch OLED screen with an exceptionally fast 480Hz refresh rate,” said YS Lee, vice president and head of the IT business unit of LG Business Solutions Company. “Our new UltraGear OLED gaming monitor is perfect for both console and PC gaming, offering a range of connectivity options and compatibility with the latest gaming hardware. The LG UltraGear brand will continue to provide high-performance monitors that enhance every aspect of the gaming experience.”

      Equipped With Cutting-Edge AI Technologies, the Company’s Large-Capacity
      Commercial Washers and Dryers Deliver Excellent Energy Efficiency

      SEOUL, Nov. 7, 2024 — LG Electronics (LG) is showcasing its PROFESSIONAL LAUNDRY lineup at Texcare International 2024, a global B2B laundry and textile care exhibition, held in Frankfurt, Germany, from November 6-9. Prioritizing energy efficiency, the new lineup features a variety of large-capacity solutions, including 30-kilogram washers and dryers, as well as a washer-dryer combo with heat pump, offering a maximum capacity of 25 kilograms for washing and 16 kilograms for drying. With the launch of its PROFESSIONAL LAUNDRY lineup, LG aims to strengthen its position in the commercial laundry market, both in Europe and worldwide.
      LG’s comprehensive range of large-capacity commercial washers and dryers provides several outstanding options for customers to choose from. The new PROFESSIONAL LAUNDRY lineup features 20-, 25- and 30-kilogram washers, as well as 25- and 30-kilogram dryers, along with a 25- kilogram washer-dryer combo. These solutions are equipped with LG’s advanced AI technology, which automatically adjusts water usage and washing/drying times based on load size, enabling a complete cycle in just 60 minutes.*
      Along with energy efficiency, LG’s PROFESSIONAL LAUNDRY lineup boasts outstanding durability. The new washers feature the company’s Ball Balancing System, which supports a maximum spin speed of 1,100 RPM and enhances stability during high-speed washing cycles. The 25-kilogram washer-dryer combo stands out as one of the largest models in the heat pump combo category and is the industry’s first commercial combo to employ an inverter heat pump drying module. This proprietary technology significantly reduces drying times and boosts energy efficiency. Ideal for businesses with high laundry demands, such as hotels and care facilities, LG’s impressive heat pump combo represents a reliable, energy-efficient alternative to traditional gas and electric dryers.
      LG’s commercial laundry solutions deliver further value with Proactive Customer Care, a smart service that actively monitors the machines’ operational data to identify potential issues before they arise. This service sends alerts to facility managers through the LG Laundry Crew app, allowing them to take preventive measures and avoid any service interruptions. In addition, the machines are equipped with features designed to safeguard performance, such as Tub Cleaning, which helps maintain hygienic conditions within the drum.
      Since entering the global commercial laundry market in 2008, LG has consistently expanded its influence within the segment. Earlier this year, the company strengthened its partnership with WASH, a leading North American laundry service provider, to increase its presence in the growing U.S. and Canadian markets for laundry solutions in multi-family housing and university dormitories. LG also continues to showcase its innovations globally, with a successful appearance at the Clean Show 2022 in the U.S. and now at Texcare International 2024 in Germany.
      With its new PROFESSIONAL lineup leading the way, LG plans to continue expanding its presence in Europe’s commercial laundry solutions sector. The company’s high-efficiency washer and dryer technologies will play a key role in helping commercial laundry operations lower their energy consumption.
      “Building on our success in the residential washer and dryer market, we are now accelerating our efforts to lead the commercial laundry sector and are excited to launch our innovative, energy-efficient PROFESSIONAL LAUNDRY lineup,” said Lyu Jae-cheol, president of LG Electronics Home Appliance & Air Solution Company. “Texcare International 2024 is a notable opportunity to grow our commercial laundry business and strengthen our standing in the global market, particularly in Europe.”

      HI All
       
      I wondering if any help can be provided as I just purchased the LG C4 TV but having trouble getting any sound from my SC-HT500 Panasonic Theater Surround sound system having tried connecting to all four ports. I managed to connect to the universal remote via management of setting where the theater system powers up in which it's getting recognized but not getting and sound with no signal.
       
      Please see screen shots along with manual of the surround sound system 
      Is there anything I'm missing in the set-up that I should try?

      LG Objet Collection epitomizes artful home appliances that seamlessly complement any space. And since beauty is not just on the outside, each appliance boasts innovative technology and leverages the LG ThinQ platform to ensure a smarter home that prioritizes convenience.
      To help consumers realize their dream homes – spaces that embody convenience and evoke positive emotions – LG Vietnam teamed up with AKA, a leading interior design brand that has propriety rights of over 30 famous furniture brands. Together, they crafted inspiring living space concepts showcased in BoConcept showrooms, a luxurious furniture design brand exclusively distributed by AKA. Here, the latest appliances and devices from the LG Objet Collection were prominently displayed, curating harmonious spaces that reflect unique tastes and styles.

      The living room was transformed into an art exhibition with LG OLED Posé TV. The product’s luxurious design, characterized by soft, rounded lines and a beige fabric finish, inspires a warmer, more intimate atmosphere. The Posé minimizes visual clutter by concealing cables and accessories behind its cover, while cleverly routing the power cord along the base.

      The kitchen was elevated with the LG Objet InstaView refrigerator and LG Quadwash TrueSteam dishwasher, which feature elegant designs and advanced technologies to bring aesthetics and convenience to the heart of every home.

      In the bedroom, the LG PuriCare360 Alpha PET air purifier became an indispensable element by quietly cleaning the air, ensuring the best night’s sleep. Its unique two-tiered cylindrical design added a stylish touch that accentuated the relaxing ambiance of the room. The stylish LG Stanby ME smart screen, with various customization options and effortless portability, was another popular choice for family homes.
      Another design marvel for the home was the LG Objet Styler, which boasts a modern design with minimalist square edges, resembling a small wardrobe. To ensure it blends effortlessly into any interior, its screen can be hidden away and only appears when touched by the user. Meanwhile, the LG WashTower introduced a “new breeze” to laundry spaces with its stacked washer and dryer design, utilizing a single control panel for optimal cleaning while saving valuable space.

      Beyond its pioneering and creative designs, the LG Objet Collection integrates LG’s leading technologies, allowing customers to enjoy a daily paradise of convenience. Each product in the high-end collection connects seamlessly to the LG ThinQ app, empowering users to control their devices via smartphone, ensuring spaces are always tailored to their preferences.

      Interior design experts note that the subtle yet elegant colors of beige, black and green not only allow the LG Objet Collection harmonize with a wide array of design styles but also add a touch of refinement and coziness to living spaces. These colors contrast beautifully with natural elements like stone, wood and tiles, enhancing the overall depth of the décor.

      With today’s customers expecting new products to do more with less, the experience space also showcased LG PuriCare Aero Furniture, featuring a unique design that resembles a modern coffee table. Complete with a control panel and a wireless charging pad for smart devices, its cylindrical base purifies the air while maintaining a sleek aesthetic.
      This collaboration between LG and AKA exemplifies the ideal home for modern consumers, merging aesthetically pleasing designs with life-enriching functionality. It reflects LG’s long-standing commitment to enhancing the overall user experience while promoting easier interactions with their products.
