UPDATE:

Tried another approach of setting up by asking Google Assistant on my iPad to "set up my device" - couldn't complete as "something went wrong" and left it at that. 

The Google assistant app somehow appeared as a new app this week and the button on the magic finally works to activate Google assistant on the TV.

 Not sure what happened but fingers crossed.  

**********

Has there been a withdrawal of Google Assistant on LG TVs in Singapore?

With language, broadcast country and LG services country set to "Singapore" , pressing the Google Assistant button on the Magic Remote shows a message indicating that the service is not available in my country.  My LG account and Google assistant settings for the same account have their location and set up in Singapore too.

The only (unsatisfactory) workaround is to control the TV indirectly using either my smartphone or connected Sound Bar which have Google Assistant installed.

I've tried switching the region to Australia and I'm able to set up Google Assistant on the TV. But with this I'm of course unable to log into the TV using my LG account given the region difference.

How should the set up be done?

I am having the same problem in connecting to Google assistant. Apparently this is the latest and top of the line Smart TV model from LG but it is far from  anything smart. LG support is practically non existent here. The TV just shows that Google Assistant and Alexa are not available in the region. My new G165” also shows a weird pink vertical band on the left end of the screen when the content background is supposed to be white. Hoping that these are minor issues that can be updated over software updates. If not, will have to claim warranty already on a 2week old TV!!

      Hi!
      Is there anyone experiencing the failure to connect your desktop PC using the Google Chrome remote desktop application in the webOS? This just happened after I installed a recent webOS update.
      Are the any solutions? Thanks.

      Revolutionary Vision Display, Intelligent HMI and Connectivity & Content Solutions
      Redefine the Smart Mobility Experience

      SEOUL, Nov. 11, 2024 — LG Electronics (LG) is introducing the Digital Cockpit gamma, the latest addition to its Mobility Labworks Series, which showcases advanced technology concepts for the automotive industry. This new model is the third in the series, following the introduction of the alpha and beta models last year.
      The Digital Cockpit gamma is equipped with LG’s most sophisticated vehicle technologies and features three modular solutions: the Vision Display, Intelligent Human-Machine Interface (HMI) and Connectivity & Content. These modular systems offer significant customization options within the vehicle cabin, allowing automakers to tailor features to meet the specific requirements of each design. For end-users, the Digital Cockpit gamma delivers superior convenience and seamless connectivity, revolutionizing in-car entertainment, communications, and driver assistance systems. This innovation provides a compelling glimpse into the exciting future of mobility.
      Vision Display: Shaping the Future of Automotive Interiors
      Presenting a range of new possibilities for future automotive interiors, the Vision Display solution is designed to adapt seamlessly to dynamic environments. Its 12.3-inch Transparent OLED screen offers key data to inform and entertain passengers during autonomous driving, displaying real-time navigation, current speed and points of interest (POI). LG’s solution also features a 14.2-inch roll-in-and-out Plastic OLED (P-OLED) display embedded in the center console, which can be retracted when not in use, maintaining a clean and minimalist cabin space.
      Intelligent HMI Solution: Intuitive AI-Driven User-Vehicle Interaction
      The Intelligent HMI solution leverages AI and responsive touch technology to provide easy, intuitive user-vehicle interactions. A key feature is the adaptive controller, a touch-sensitive curved OLED display integrated into the steering wheel, allowing drivers to effortlessly manage navigation, multimedia and climate-control settings, complete with haptic feedback for a more tactile experience.
      In autonomous driving mode, the adaptive controller can make the journey more enjoyable by providing access to entertainment apps and games. Furthermore, LG’s AI-based virtual assistant offers smart support for various situations. For example, if it detects driver fatigue, it can order a coffee from a nearby location and facilitate quick payment via the screen’s built-in fingerprint-recognition sensor. The Intelligent HMI solution also supports the Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) 3.0 standard, enabling system updates and real-time emergency alerts without requiring a network connection.
      Connectivity & Content Solution for Seamless Entertainment and Smart Mobility
      The Connectivity & Content solution transforms the rear passenger seats into an interactive entertainment hub, enhancing in-car experiences through 5G network connectivity and LG’s webOS platform. Passengers can stream high-definition content, access live broadcasts, interact with POI data, share their screen via the in-car screen-mirroring feature, and navigate content and control volume using hand gestures. Supporting a number of different ride-sharing apps, the webOS-based Connectivity & Content also represents a convenient solution for owner-drivers.
      “Digital Cockpit gamma demonstrates LG’s leadership in cutting-edge in-vehicle innovations and our dedication to creating working concepts of transformative technologies for future commercialization in the automotive industry,” said Eun Seok-hyun, president of LG Vehicle component Solutions Company. “We will continue to provide customizable vehicle solutions that enhance the in-car experience, ensuring seamless connectivity and a smarter, safer on-road environment.”

      Premium Built-in Kitchen Appliances Delivers an Elevated Culinary Lifestyle

      SEOUL, Feb. 21, 2024 — LG Electronics (LG) is set to introduce a diverse range of luxurious built-in kitchen packages at the 2024 Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS), taking place in Las Vegas, USA, from February 27-29. Taking center stage, the company’s new Signature Kitchen Suite Transitional Series appliances – including the Combi Wall Oven, Double Wall Oven and Single Oven featuring cutting-edge Gourmet AI technology – boast sophisticated design and intelligent functionality.
      Bold Sophistication With New Transitional Built-in Kitchen Package
      The arrival of the new Transitional Series built-in kitchen package marks a significant expansion of the Signature Kitchen Suite lineup, which continues to set the standard for elegant simplicity, understated luxury and exceptional quality. Joining the existing Professional Series (Traditional) range, the Transitional Series has been created in response to consumers’ growing preference for transitional and contemporary kitchen design.
      Signature Kitchen Suite Transitional Series appliances feature satin stainless steel exteriors with an elegant, velvety matte finish that elevates the kitchen environment. Delivering a chic, minimalist appearance, Transitional Series appliances are equipped with slimmer handles than those found on Professional Series models. The design decision to move away from the use of conventional control knobs also contributes to a sleeker look.
      The Signature Kitchen Suite Transitional Series Built-in Kitchen Package on show at KBIS 2024 includes French-Door refrigerators, column refrigerators, column wine refrigerators, dishwashers, wall ovens and more. The breadth of the brand’s built-in offerings demonstrates a firm commitment to providing consumers with a wide range of premium products to help them complete their dream kitchen.
      Enhanced Cooking Experience With Advanced Gourmet AI Technology
      Debuting at this year’s exhibition, Signature Kitchen Suite’s Gourmet AI-equipped Wall Oven lineups deliver an enhanced culinary experience. The company’s innovative Gourmet AI technology is able to identify ingredients the user has on hand and can automatically suggest optimal recipes from 80 auto cook options. Thanks to the oven’s built-in high-definition camera, users can remotely monitor what they’re cooking via the ThinQ app. LG’s intelligent camera enables features such as time-lapse recording and the ability to capture photos and share them online. Additionally, the inclusion of ThinQ Care means users get to enjoy continuous feature upgrades throughout the life of their oven.
      Another high-performance Signature Kitchen Suite innovation, the Steam-Combi convection oven seamlessly integrates steam and convection cooking functionality for outstanding gourmet results. The Steam-Combi convection system ensures fast and even cooking, using the natural properties of steam to help maintain the taste, texture and appearance of food. Without requiring any preheating, the oven’s steam sous vide mode allows for the creation of delectable dishes that are moist and tender on the inside and crispy and flaky on the outside.
      What’s more, Transitional Series ovens boast LG’s distinctive and highly convenient InstaView window, enabling users to see inside without having to open the door.
      Wide Range of Premium Kitchen Lineups for Diverse Culinary Lifestyles and Spaces
      Other Signature Kitchen Suite innovations featured at KBIS 2024 include 48-inch panel ready kitchen appliances that can be color coordinated to match existing cabinetry, and a streamlined 36-inch French-Door refrigerator designed for smaller spaces. LG’s diverse range of ultra-premium built-in solutions offers each customer the opportunity to create a kitchen that truly embodies their personal style and meets the needs of their own unique culinary lifestyle.
      “Through the expansion of the Signature Kitchen Suite lineup with the new Transitional Series, and the introduction of Gourmet AI-equipped Wall Ovens, LG is strengthening its position in the luxury built-in market and reaffirming its technological and design leadership,” said Lyu Jae-cheol, president of LG Electronics Home Appliance & Air Solution Company. “We will continue to cater to consumers’ evolving tastes, providing a diverse range of ultra-premium built-in appliances offering the very best in performance, convenience and aesthetics.”
