      Company Redefines In-Vehicle Experience With Smart Home Solutions Delivering
      Tailored Mobility Experiences

      SEOUL, April 3, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG) is presenting the Spielraum concept car in collaboration with Kia at the 2025 Seoul Mobility Show, taking place at KINTEX in Ilsan, Korea, from April 3-13. This partnership, formalized through a Memorandum of Understanding, aims to seamlessly combine LG’s AI-driven smart life solutions with Kia’s Platform Beyond Vehicle (PBV) technology, creating a distinctive mobility space experience.
      Through this partnership, LG and Kia seek to enhance the PBV experience, transforming everyday mobility into a seamless and convenient lifestyle extension. Integrated LG appliances – such as a refrigerator, air conditioner and Styler – allow users to transform their vehicle into a mobile office or studio.
      Debuting at the 2025 Seoul Mobility Show, the Spielraum Studio and Spielraum Glow cabin concepts demonstrate how users can customize their vehicle space to fit their unique lifestyles. Spielraum Studio, designed for entrepreneurs who travel frequently and need both workspace and storage, features LG’s modular Styler, smart mirror and a coffee machine – all optimized for the interior of the PV5, Kia’s first dedicated PBV. AI-powered personalized assistance further enhances convenience, offering optimized clothing care settings based on the user’s schedule.
      Catering to a different lifestyle, the Spielraum Glow cabin targets the rising trend of car picnics and camping. Equipped with LG’s refrigerator, Lightwave oven and wine cellar, it elevates outdoor experiences with next-level convenience. Additionally, all integrated appliances feature MoodUP panels, allowing users to customize their space with dynamic color options that match their preferences.
      At the heart of the Spielraum concept is the LG ThinQ ON, an AI-powered home hub that provides highly personalized experiences. By leveraging generative AI, it enables interactive conversations, optimal control of in-vehicle appliances and efficient schedule management. Beyond providing useful information such as weather and traffic updates, the system can connect to external services, including food delivery, laundry and restaurant reservations.
      Expanding the boundaries of AI-driven living based on the company’s vision of Affectionate Intelligence, LG introduced the LG Mobility Experience (MX) platform at CES 2025. This approach extends AI’s role beyond residential spaces into everyday environments such as commercial and mobility spaces, creating personalized spaces for work, relaxation and entertainment. By seamlessly connecting mobility with AI home solutions, LG is redefining how people interact with their surroundings, offering multifunctional and adaptive living spaces.
      “We are excited and proud to bring our advanced AI space solutions to the PBV mobility market through this collaboration with Kia,” said Lyu Jae-cheol, president of the LG Home Appliance Solution Company. “This collaboration provides an important opportunity to expand LG Electronics’ ‘AI Space Solution,’ serving as a stepping stone to create new AI-powered lifestyle experiences beyond the home, across mobility and other everyday spaces”.

      Company Continues to Strengthen Its Industry Leadership With  
      Advanced Commercial Display Technologies and Customized Solutions  

      SEOUL, Feb. 4, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG) is unveiling its latest digital signage innovations at Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) 2025, taking place in Barcelona, Spain, from February 4-7. LG’s exhibition booth, themed “Customized Solutions, Optimized Growth,” features dedicated zones for business sectors including retail, corporate, education, transportation and hospitality. The tailored display solutions on show leverage the company’s state-of-the-art technologies to meet the diverse needs of B2B clients and enhance and expand the customer experience. 
      Presenting Elevated Visual-spatial Experiences with LG’s AI-powered Kinetic LED
      LG is set to capture the attention of ISE visitors with its gigantic “shape-shifting” Kinetic LED display. Installed at the entrance of the company’s exhibition booth, the Kinetic LED employs cutting-edge AI technology to enthrall, entertain and amaze. The impressive screen, composed of 88 connected LED panels, measures 7,180 x 4,090 millimeters. Combining LEDs and mirrors, the cube-shaped modules that make up the Kinetic LED can rotate 360 degrees horizontally to create dynamic and mesmerizing movements.  
      Visitors to LG’s booth can also enjoy an AI-powered “image transformation” experience with the Kinetic LED. After they’ve taken a photo with their smartphone and uploaded it via scanning the provided QR code, their picture is transformed by LG’s generative AI into a Pop Art-style image, which is then displayed on the Kinetic LED. This fun, interactive feature, developed by LG and its Kinetic solution partner, Easywith, serves as an engaging advertising solution that invites direct participation from audiences. 
      In addition to the captivating Kinetic LED, LG is showcasing a wide range of advanced technologies developed in collaboration with its domestic (South Korean) and global partners. Among LG’s key partners are Triplet, an AI-driven customer behavior analytics company; Kokomo 24/7, a firm specializing in school access management and emergency response solutions; and companies such as Megapixel VR, Mo-Sys Engineering and Brompton Technology – industry leaders in the areas of broadcast equipment and virtual production. LG is also teaming up with corporate video conferencing solutions providers Logitech, Cisco and Crestron, and signage-specific content management solutions provider, BrightSign, to demonstrate the latest innovations in collaboration technology. 
      Upgraded LG MAGNIT Micro LED Displays to Meet Growing B2B Demand for Ultra-High-Definition Screen Solutions
      LG has upgraded its acclaimed LG MAGNIT micro LED displays to improve ease of installation, content compatibility and energy efficiency. Thanks to a new design, installers can now adjust the spaces between LED modules from the rear of the display; a task that could only be performed from the front on previous models. Additionally, compatibility with content controllers has been enhanced to ensure optimal colors and image quality, while standby power consumption has been reduced by up to 98 percent compared to earlier models, significantly improving overall energy efficiency. LG’s latest innovations in micro LED technology, including the newest MAGNIT solutions, can be found in the dedicated LED Tech Zone. 
      Introducing LG’s High-Brightness Outdoor Signage with Anti-Discoloration
      At ISE 2025, LG is debuting its high-brightness outdoor signage solutions featuring the company’s own Anti-Discoloration technology. On show to the public for the first time, this advanced tech helps to protect LG’s high-brightness signage for outdoor spaces against the negative impacts of screen-yellowing – a common issue caused by prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.  
      In 2024, LG’s Anti-Discoloration technology became the first solution of its kind to receive verification from Underwriters Laboratories (UL), the globally respected standards and testing organization. To highlight its impressive lineup of customized displays with yellowing-resistant tech, LG has set up a number of simulated outdoor environments within its ISE booth, such as a bus stop, sports stadium and a drive-thru restaurant. 
      Comprehensive Display Solutions for Retail: From Customizable Kiosks to Fire-Safe Digital Signages with Flame-Resistant Casing
      In the Retail Zone of LG’s ISE booth, visitors can explore a comprehensive selection of solutions tailored for retail environments. The display includes LG’s versatile and easy-to-install second-generation modular kiosks, as well as three digital signage models (US5P, UV5N and UP5Q) that feature outer casings certified to meet stringent international fire safety standards (BS476 in the UK and EN13501-1 in the EU).* 
      LG’s booth also features the full lineup of LG CreateBoard solutions tailored for both educational and corporate settings. The lineup consists of three models: LG CreateBoard Pro, LG CreateBoard and LG CreateBoard Core, each designed to cater to a variety of user requirements. The LG CreateBoard Pro stands out as the premium model, offering advanced features for enhanced performance, while the LG CreateBoard Core delivers essential functionality in a cost-effective package. 
      Additionally, LG is putting the spotlight on LG Business Cloud, an online platform enabling the convenient, centralized management and operation of the company’s commercial displays. Collectively, the innovations on display at ISE 2025 emphasize LG’s commitment to technological excellence and its dedication to delivering innovative solutions that empower businesses and enhance user experiences. 
      “LG is committed to providing commercial display solutions tailored to the specific needs of diverse business environments,” said Park Hyoung-sei, president of the LG Media Entertainment Solution Company. “As a leader in the B2B market, our goal is to deliver innovative solutions that elevate the value of commercial, public and educational spaces, while also enabling transformative customer experiences and supporting the growth and success of our clients.”

      Hi all, last week I got my new LG 65" C4 Oled delivered.
      I investigated using first a 32Gb memory stick for recording live programmes and pause live TV facility.
      I was able to record programmes but the Live TV would not work 🥲
      The LG usb is the slower 2.0 spec but I read that most low current SSD drives should still work fine with 2.0
      Today I received a 240Gb drive with Sata to usb 3.0 cable (3.0 is backwards compatible with 2.0).
      I can confirm that everyting works fine and for just £17.40 I now have pause live TV and loads of space for recording programmes.
      I used AliExpress and they if you buy using the "choice" option you get free 7day delivery to UK with detailed tracking 👍
