In addition, seven new AI-enabled SUPER UHD TVs (SK9500, SK9000 and SK8000 series) will be available in sizes varying from 49- to 75-inches diagonal.

Previewed less than two months ago at CES®, the premium models rolling out through U.S. retailers starting this month feature key innovations such as LG's ThinQ artificial intelligence and the new LG Alpha 9 intelligent processor. Beyond apps and entertainment, LG AI TVs use intelligent voice control to create a hub for the smart home and beyond.

Announcing U.S. pricing and availability for the premium 2018 LG OLED and LG SUPER UHD TVs with AI ThinQ, Tim Alessi, head of home entertainment product marketing at LG Electronics USA, said, "LG OLED has consistently set the standard for picture quality and design in the premium TV market since its introduction a few short years ago.

"The new 2018 models launching in the U.S. continue that leadership with the addition of LG ThinQ AI (Artificial Intelligence) in our premium TVs, offering consumers unmatched picture quality and state-of-the-art AI capabilities that combine to deliver an entirely new entertainment experience in the home," he explained.

LG has added cutting-edge artificial intelligence to all 2018 LG OLED and LG SUPER UHD TVs with AI ThinQ.

      LG has once again left a lasting impression on visitors to ISH, one of the world’s biggest annual tradeshows for HVAC, water and sanitation solutions. Held in Frankfurt, Germany, the event highlighted LG’s extensive range of integrated heating solutions customized for diverse environments and spaces, including high-efficiency residential heat pumps and large-capacity commercial systems. Tailormade for the European market and compliant with the European Union’s F-gas Regulation, LG’s products exclusively employ refrigerants with a low Global Warming Potential (GWP).

      A major attraction at LG’s booth, the Hero zone introduced ISH visitors to the exceptional Therma V R290 Monobloc air-to-water heat pump (AWHP) for residential applications. Displayed beneath a captivating hanging façade at the center of the zone, the new Therma V boasts a sleek, minimalist design, quiet operation and outstanding cold-climate performance, thanks to LG’s advanced scroll compressor. Designed with user comfort and the health of the planet in mind, the Therma V employs R290 refrigerant, which has a GWP of 3, to reduce carbon emissions.

      LG also showcased the Monobloc G and Cascade Control Unit, two sophisticated solutions suitable for multi-unit apartment buildings and large homes. The Cascade Control Unit offers flexible scalability, allowing users to add up to eight outdoor units to their HVAC system. This adaptability not only meets varying heating demands but also optimizes energy efficiency, thereby contributing to the reduction of HVAC running costs.

      Another notable exhibit was the new LG heat pump water heater (HPWH) with R290 refrigerant. Displayed in a booth area designed to resemble a stylish European kitchen, the versatile HPWH R290 utilizes both air and electricity as energy sources, achieving greater efficiency than traditional electric or a gas-powered water heaters. Its simple design ensures compatibility with various installation environments and customer needs, offering seamless integration with various types of indoor units, such as control, hydro and combi.

      In response to recent EU restrictions on refrigerant usage, LG has launched a complete lineup of reliable commercial HVAC solutions utilizing R32 refrigerant (GWP of 675). Visitors learned about the innovative, large-capacity Inverter Scroll Chiller, which leverages twin inverter scroll compressors to maximize cooling power and operational efficiency. The Inverter Scroll Chiller can be integrated with LG’s Building Energy Control (BECON) CPM system, which utilizes advanced AI technologies to simplify control and monitoring of LG’s commercial HVAC solutions.

      The Multi V i R32 variable refrigerant flow (VRF) solution was another attraction at LG’s booth. Incorporating the company’s AI engine, the Multi V i intelligently manages temperatures across multiple indoor spaces. This VRF solution includes a full package of integrated solutions, including a number of safety features and systems designed to enhance stability and reliability, and provides time-saving troubleshooting assistance with Smart Diagnosis.

      LG, a pathfinder for innovative heating, has been at the forefront of HVAC innovation for several decades and continues to show the way forward. With its comprehensive exhibit of efficient and sustainable HVAC solutions at ISH 2025, the company reaffirmed its commitment to decarbonization and to paving the way to a better future for all.

      Hi,
      Apparently, some apps no longer run on webOS 3.5.
      Is there a way to upgrade or reinstall firmware and webOS to 4 and later?
      Maybe with a USB or so (i.e. offline)?
      Thanks,

      Featuring Advanced Purification Technology and a Sleek Space-saving Design,
      Company’s Latest PuriCare Solution Delivers Clean Air, Style and Convenience

      SEOUL, Jan. 21, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG) is unveiling the LG PuriCare AeroBooster air care solution, an ideal choice for customers seeking to create a more comfortable and healthier indoor environment. The innovative new product provides powerful performance with cutting-edge air purification technology and features a slim, sophisticated design that balances effortless style with unparalleled convenience.
      The LG PuriCare AeroBooster utilizes the advanced Aero Series V Filter to draw in pollutants from every direction, effectively reducing the presence of dust, odors, viruses and bacteria for a fresher, more hygienic home. With its Dual Airflow and Clean Booster features, the AeroBooster delivers wider, more efficient air circulation and helps to reduce large dust particles from the indoor space. Purified air is emitted from vents at the top and bottom of the device simultaneously, reaching a distance of up to five and a half meters to fill every corner of the room with clean, filtered air.
      The AeroBooster also integrates LG’s proprietary UVnano technology to safeguard the hygiene of the device itself and to maintain the quality of airflow it produces. UVnano removes 99.99 percent of harmful bacteria from the fan’s surfaces,1 while a built-in Ionizer adds another layer of protection by neutralizing harmful airborne substances.2
      Thanks to its compact design and modest footprint, the AeroBooster can fit easily in almost any space, providing users with clean air without making their environment feel cluttered or crowded. Along with an ultra-slim form factor, LG’s new PuriCare solution boasts an understated matte finish and a unique air outlet. The minimalist design of the AeroBooster is further enhanced by customizable mood lighting that lets users create the desired ambiance, and an LED display that provides intuitive control and contributes to the product’s sleek, modern look.
      In addition, the AeroBooster offers intelligent energy-savings with the ultra-efficient AI+ Mode. Without compromising performance, AI+ reduces the device’s energy consumption by over 49 percent compared to Smart+ Mode, which serves as the default mode of operation.3 When set to Sleep Mode, the AeroBooster runs at an ultra-quiet 21 dBA to help ensure a calm, tranquil environment. Meanwhile, LG ThinQ compatibility allows users to remotely monitor and control the company’s new air purifier from any location.
      “The AeroBooster combines advanced air purification technology and a stylish, convenient design to enhance everyday living,” said James Lee, president of the LG ES Company. “LG will continue to deliver innovative air care solutions that address the growing need for healthier indoor spaces.”
      The LG PuriCare AeroBooster is launching this month in countries across Asia, including Vietnam, Thailand, Taiwan, Malaysia, Japan and Singapore, with availability in other markets to follow soon after.
