So for everyone that has a smart TV, do you still have cable service with a cable box? I'm in the US, so mostly interested to see if people are migrating away from Comcast, Verizon Fios, and services like that with a cable box to streaming services like Direct TV Now, Hulu, Youtube TV, Sling, etc. 

I have Verizon Fios currently and need to use their equipment. I'm noticing more and more that we aren't watching scheduled tv anymore and just "whenever" watching. My two young children mostly watch youtube these days.  So I'm thinking of youtube TV maybe? Not sure.

I cut the cord about two months ago.  No more $275/mo cable bills.  Cancelled Comcast and order Verizon internet (1GBt) for $89.99.  Added Youtube TV and Philo and I have almost everything I had before for about $146.  Quality is just as good and I have not been throttled.  You can add, drop  HBO, Showtime whenever it suits you.  There has been a bit of a learning curve but not terrible.  BTW, I still use my apple TV to stream.  I'm not thrilled with the quality of native youtube TV app.  It's probably a setting, I just haven't figured it out just yet.

      In today’s fast-evolving digital landscape, technology continues to redefine how businesses engage with their audiences. To stay ahead, companies are embracing innovative content creation methods that deliver immersive, high-quality experiences, capturing attention and driving deeper engagement.

      LG has taken a major leap forward in content production with the launch of its state-of-the-art virtual production studio at its North American headquarters in New Jersey, USA. A potential first in the consumer electronics industry, this in-house content lab empowers LG with advanced tools to produce premium-quality content that reflects its diverse product portfolio, emphasizing efficiency and sustainability.

      At the core of the LG Virtual Production Studio is the company’s award-winning commercial LED display technology, featuring a 1.5mm pixel pitch display spanning two walls. This setup enables immersive, cost-effective and flexible content creation, complemented by cutting-edge technologies from LG’s partners, including the Megapixel HELIOS Controller and Mo-Sys Camera Tracking Solutions/Server.
      Further strengthening its capabilities,

This collaboration seamlessly integrates LED displays and controllers with Mo-Sys’s XR technology to create a comprehensive XR solution. In the LG Virtual Production Studio, the HELIOS Controller allows multiple users to operate the Mo-Sys Camera Tracking Solutions/Server platform in real time without the need for additional software.
      The studio significantly enhances production efficiency by reducing set build times. Advanced features such as parallax motion and real-time rendering enhance realism and adaptability, offering greater creative flexibility, increased content output and cost savings. Looking ahead, the studio plans to produce episodic content and collaborate with brands, further reinforcing LG’s commitment to innovative storytelling.
      Beyond creative benefits, virtual production reduces the need for costly physical sets and on-location shoots, minimizing environmental impact while streamlining production workflows. This shift helps reduce environmental impact while making content creation faster and more adaptable to a variety of creative demands.

      The LG Virtual Production Studio features a 25-foot, two-wall display constructed from two large 1.5mm pixel pitch LG MAGNIT Studio Series LBAG015-G3 Direct View Micro LED displays, positioned at a 90-degree angle. Despite being a compact 1,000-square-foot space – small compared to conventional studios – this setup delivers limitless creative possibilities with ultra-realistic backgrounds and seamless special effects. Unlike traditional LED displays with wider pixel pitches that require large studios to avoid visible pixels, LG MAGNIT technology enables high-quality content creation within a compact footprint.
      LG’s global in-house creative agency, HSAD, plays a pivotal role in maximizing the studio’s potential, leveraging its cutting-edge tools to craft compelling narratives that resonate with diverse audiences. The establishment of this advanced studio marks a significant milestone for LG, underscoring its commitment to innovation and sustainability in content creation.
      By investing in an in-house virtual production studio, LG is redefining creativity – producing high-quality content faster with less environmental impact and new levels of creative freedom.

      Widely recognized by artists as the ultimate digital canvas, LG OLED continues to push the boundaries of artistic exploration and inspiration through art installations that defy convention. While LG OLED captivates art enthusiasts globally through its visionary artist collaborations, the dynamic and unique artistic spirit of Seoul remains a key source of the company’s inspiration.
      Aligning with this sentiment, Seoul Art Week, which recently held a series of art festivities that included world-famous Frieze Seoul, provided the opportune moment to demonstrate its profound dedication to Korea’s vibrant cultural landscape.
      As Frieze Seoul’s official headline partner for the second consecutive year, LG captured the hearts of art aficionados worldwide with a collaborative exhibition, Suh Se Ok X LG OLED: Reimagined by Suh Do Ho, Shaped by Suh Eul Ho, that honored the creative legacy of Suh Se Ok, the late Korean abstract ink painter revered for his exquisite brushwork and poignant human forms.

      As a heartfelt homage to a true master of his craft, this exhibition reunited Suh with his two sons, artist Suh Do Ho and architect Suh Eul Ho, for a touching reimagination of his iconic masterpieces through the creative lens of his kin. To ensure the Suh brothers had all the tools required to create something befitting their father, LG provided its transparent OLED TVs as a groundbreaking artistic medium that can explore the infinite possibilities and depth of ink painting in a whole new dimension.

      Acclaimed installation artist Suh Do Ho brought his father’s Circle of Life and Wayfarer artworks to life through distinctive animated shorts, with a stunning installation comprised of eight transparent OLED TVs serving as a mesmerizing backdrop. The ethereal, lucid screens created the illusion of a floating canvas to curate a captivating, multi-dimensional experience that seamlessly blended physical and digital mediums.

      On the other hand, Architect Suh Eul Ho took creative rein as the exhibition’s spatial designer. Leveraging the pristine images of LG OLED and the dynamic possibilities of transparent displays, he was able to meticulously arrange the artworks to form one cohesive, awe-inspiring experience. This way, visitors could fully appreciate the individual layers of each piece while admiring an expansive view of the space’s ever-shifting landscape.

      For the first time in its long history of collaborations with artists, LG’s innovative transparent OLED TVs became an integral part of the artwork. These cutting-edge screens, which are unrivalled when it comes to harmonizing original artworks with their digital reinterpretations, blend timeless legacy with creative innovation like no other can.
      In addition to the seamless fusion of art and technology on show at Frieze Seoul, LG reinforced its commitment to Seoul’s art scene by sponsoring several more events during Seoul Art Week. At the K11 Moon Party, which celebrated Korea’s Moon Festival and debuted the K11 Art Foundation’s first generative art exhibition Lunar Water, LG’s state-of-the-art OLED screens illuminated the city with immersive visual experiences that accentuate the digital artworks on display.

      Poignantly intersecting cultural tradition and modern artistic expression, artists a’strict, Tyler Hobbs and Cheng Ran shared their unique interpretations of the moon and its mysteries: a’strict’s Waterfall — Sands presented a majestic visual representation of a cascading waterfall; Tyler Hobbs pioneering NFTs Fidenza #575 and #938 explored the union of digital and analogue art; and Cheng Ran first-ever generative artwork, Self-miracle, presented a reimagined version of his film, In Course of the Miraculous. Meanwhile, LG’s dazzling OLED displays highlighted the full potential of featured works, with the moon’s magic seemingly descending to Earth in an unforgettable way.
      In support of another cultural initiative held during Seoul Art Week, LG’s OLED screens were once again transformed into digital canvases, this time for the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art’s (MMCA) Connecting Bodies exhibition, the first of many projects to be undertaken under LG’s three-year partnership with the museum.
      Exploring the concepts of connectivity and the digital evolution of our physical forms, this exhibition utilized LG OLED’s unmatched visuals to showcase immersive, interactive installations that respond in unique ways to movement and touch. Through groundbreaking technology, this unique exhibition ushers in a new era of art – an age where boundaries between the physical and digital worlds blend seamlessly through new creative mediums.
      Although Seoul Art Week may have come to a successful close, the LG OLED ART journey, as well as the creative possibilities of LG’s cutting-edge screens, continue to live on to inspire and astound the masses throughout 2024 and beyond. To follow every step of this journey, stay tuned to

      Over the last few decades, football has fully embraced technology in various ways. From wearable smart tech that acquires player data during games to goal line technology that ensures every legitimate goal is given, innovation has changed the way we play the beautiful game – and now how we experience it. In this spirit, LG Spain has teamed up with European giants Atlético de Madrid, a storied Spanish fútbol club with a passionate global fan base and rich legacy dating back to 1903, to deliver its cutting-edge signage products and technological innovations.
      As an official sponsor of Atlético de Madrid for the next two seasons, LG Spain will install its LED signage throughout the magnificent Estadio Cívitas Metropolitano. The ellipse-shaped ribbon LED poised to adorn the stadium’s roof will not only deliver an immersive visual experience to fans, but also become one of the stadium’s most iconic design elements. Measuring 2,000 meters with mesh LED materials and a luminance of 7,500cd/m², this “sky ribbon” display is ready to captivate over 70,000 fans every week with its mesmerizing 360-degree visual effect.
      At the entrance, four rounded outdoor LEDs will be installed, while a 45-square-meter LED banner display will welcome fans with LG’s exceptionally bright and high-resolution display technology. In addition, tunnel LED screens will be added to the wall and arches in the players’ tunnel to build anticipation and immersion as the players step out onto the pitch.
      To ensure that this sponsorship transcends the pitch, LG Spain will support the club’s Ciudad del Deporte project, a state-of-the-art sports city expected to be completed by 2026 in collaboration with the local government. To this end, LG Spain aims to help modernize the sports city’s facilities through the wide implementation of its latest digital signage solutions.

      This partnership underscores the confidence of Atlético de Madrid in LG’s display technologies, as this is not the first time they crossed paths. Back in 2017, LG Spain installed LED signage with a total size of 755-square-meter across its 88,000-square-meter stadium. This means its loyal fans are well aware of LG’s ability to vividly bring the match to life again with clear match replays and immersive club-related content.
      “LG is the perfect partner to enhance the stadium experience for all spectators visiting the Cívitas Metropolitano,” said Óscar Mayo, director of Revenue and Operations at Atlético de Madrid. “Thanks to this new project, our stadium and future sports city will benefit from high-level display technology, exciting our fans that come from all around the world to see us play while setting a new technological standard.”
      LG has a track record of installing highly impressive digital signage installations in arenas across Europe, including London’s iconic Wembley Stadium and ultra-modern Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Germany’s Deutsche Bank Park Stadium and Finland’s Nokia Arena. These installations helped deliver unforgettable match experiences for millions of spectators, which drives LG to bring the exceptional visual experience to more arenas across the world.
