SEOUL, Feb. 16, 2022 — LG Electronics (LG) has entered into a global partnership with the US-based Blackdove to deliver seamless digital art experiences on LG’s advanced digital signage displays. Integrating software and curated art from Blackdove’s digital art gallery and NFT (non-fungible token) platform, LG’s high-quality, customizable display solution will provide a convenient way to showcase digital art, which has emerged as the dominant medium in the global art market.

LG’s vibrant digital displays are the superb medium for art installations and the perfect addition to corporate lobbies, galleries, luxury residences and countless other public settings. LG LED signage offer exceptional flexibility with simple-to-install, modular, scalable designs and premium picture quality with resolutions from Full HD (1,920 x 1,080) to 8K (7,680 x 4,320).

Available in markets worldwide starting this quarter, Blackdove curation software can be bundled with LG LED signage products including LG MAGNIT, LG LED Bloc, LED All-in-One and fine-pitch LED signage to deliver the gallery’s vast library of digital art assets. Hand-picked by Blackdove’s curatorial team, the selection of artworks by contemporary artists such as Jonathan McCabe, Kenneth Wayne, Meghan Cheng, Franck Lefebvre and Jamie Scott encompass a broad range of subjects and styles for both new and experienced fans of digital art.

“LG is delighted to partner with Blackdove as this partnership allows us to engage our LED signage customers with a benefit that is unique to LG,” said Paik Ki-mun, senior vice president and head of the Information Display business unit of LG Business Solutions Company. “The option to transform LG LED signage into digital canvases in spaces such as luxury residentials, corporate lobbies, hospitals and retail stores is something we think the public will have a very positive reaction to.”

“We are gratified to have been selected by such an extraordinary partner as LG,” said Marc Billings, CEO of Blackdove. “Digital art is the first form of art in history that can be experienced natively by the whole world in an instant, giving it universal appeal. This makes possible an exponential increase in both the amount and diversity of art, as well as a path to universal access to affordable art enjoyment and ownership.”

      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.”

      With Immersive Sound, Versatile LG TV Integration and Enhanced Features,
      LG Provides Elevated Audio Experience With Latest Soundbars

      SEOUL, Dec. 19, 2023 — LG Electronics (LG) unveils its 2024 soundbar lineup, including the S95TR, SG10TY and S70TY models. Crafted to seamlessly complement LG TVs, these soundbars promise an elevated home cinema experience through their robust sound quality, well-rounded features and sophisticated designs.
      Creating an enhanced synergy between the soundbar and TV, the elevated audio quality of LG’s newest soundbar models enriches the home entertainment experience with a heightened sense of immersion and greater convenience. When paired with WOW Orchestra, the soundbar and LG TV harness the full potential of their audio channels, creating an unrivaled audio experience with an enlarged soundstage and improved depth and height. The ideal choice for a surround sound experience, LG’s new soundbars deliver the superior quality of Dolby Atmos, driven by the advanced technology of DTS:X.
      WOWCAST takes audio excellence a step further, allowing the S95TR and SG10TY models to connect wirelessly to LG TVs, ensuring superior sound without any compromise, even when playing Dolby Atmos audio. All three new soundbar models feature the WOW interface, an intuitive and user-friendly method to effortlessly manage soundbar settings and share sound modes with the TV.
      At the forefront of LG’s new soundbar lineup is the premium S95TR model, delivering an impressive 810W output and captivating surround sound through its 15 channels. The S95TR boasts five up-firing channels, including the industry’s first center up-firing speaker, creating an unparalleled three-dimensional audio experience with enhanced clarity and an expanded soundstage. Moreover, the angle of the center up-firing speaker ensures a seamless audio-visual experience with precise elevation to the TV screen’s level.
      The S95TR features improved tweeters for clear and precise audio, while also incorporating a passive radiator to enrich bass sounds and optimize the overall balance between the soundbar and the subwoofer. Notably, viewing quality is further strengthened in the S95TR model, designed with a matte color palette, materials and finish to effectively reduce reflections.
      The SG10TY, another new LG soundbar, serves as the perfect audio and visual companion to LG’s premium OLED TVs. WOW Orchestra, WOW Interface, and WOWCAST enable the SG10TY model to seamlessly integrate with LG OLED TVs, completing the viewing experience for a greater sense of immersion. Remarkably, connecting WOWCAST to the SG10TY model and an LG premium OLED TV creates a wireless home entertainment experience with no visible cables between the screen and the soundbar. This Wi-Fi enabled soundbar provides a flawless listening experience with a high-fidelity audio quality for listeners to enjoy their favorite tracks on music streaming platforms including Tidal Connect and Spotify Connect. The thoughtful design of the SG10TY flawlessly aligns with the width and frame colors of LG OLED TVs, resulting in an impeccable visual match when paired with an ultra-thin OLED TV.
      LG will also roll out the S70TY soundbar model, ideal for LG QNED TVs with its simple and compact design. This model also features the industry’s first center up-firing speaker, providing sharpened voice clarity. The angled design ensures harmonious audio and visual in alignment with the TV screen’s level.
      A dedicated bracket for the S70TY model* allows users to place the soundbar directly beneath the QNED TV for a refined appearance. This bracket provides a convenient solution for direct attachment, eliminating the need to drill holes in the wall during installation. The bracket allows customizable wall-mounting of the S70TY soundbar at various heights or locations, guaranteeing an aesthetically ideal setup, great convenience and an optimal sound experience.
      LG Triple Level Spatial Sound technology applies channel analysis through a 3D engine to mesmerize listeners with lifelike sound and a compelling sense of space. What’s more, LG AI Room Calibration – a feature praised by both consumers and experts for its audio enhancement – rapidly analyzes the environment of a room and adjusts the settings, enhancing the audio to harmonize with the room’s acoustics. New for 2024, the AI Room Calibration extends its capability to calibrate the audio of rear surround speakers, expanding audio immersion and offering more flexibility for installation.
      In 2024, LG also plans to introduce new editions of speakers and earbuds to the global market. Despite its compact design, the most recent XO2 model offers the authentic, omnidirectional audio of the LG XBOOM 360 speaker. Featuring a distinctive conical-cylindrical design, it radiates sound in all directions, ensuring consistent, high-quality audio enjoyment for everyone in the listening space. Its compact dimensions, along with 20-hour battery life and IP55 rating, increase its portability and versatility. The most recent XBOOM 360 speaker boasts unique 360-degree mood lighting using audio reflectors, presenting a new lighting design that emanates a sense of openness and diffusion.
      LG TONE Free earbuds continue to be ideal for an on-the-go option with user-centric features and a comfortable fit. The latest T90S model offers balanced sound, improved Dolby Head Tracking and refined Adaptive ANC. Additionally, the T90S supports Plug & Wireless, allowing users to enjoy their favorite shows, movies and music on non-Bluetooth devices by using the charging case as a Bluetooth transmitter.
      “LG has always been committed to delivering unmatched audio-visual experiences with superior quality, all to bring a better life to our valued customers,” said Lee Jeong-seok, head of LG Home Entertainment Company’s audio business. “We remain dedicated to providing immersive home entertainment experiences through LG’s premium soundbar products, ensuring our customers enjoy the very best with further enhanced surround sound optimized for LG OLED TVs and LG QNED TVs.”

      Transitioning Between Transparent to Opaque Screen, LG SIGNATURE OLED T
      Introduces New Viewing Possibilities and a New Era in Home Entertainment

      SEOUL, Dec. 19, 2024 — LG Electronics (LG) is set for the global launch of the 77-inch LG SIGNATURE OLED T, the world’s first transparent and true wireless 4K OLED TV. This groundbreaking model will be available in the U.S. this December, with additional markets to follow.
      Unveiled at CES® 2024, the LG SIGNATURE OLED T represents a monumental leap in both technology and design innovation, reflecting LG’s relentless drive to delivering new and better. Its cutting-edge self-lit screen can transform from transparent to opaque screen; a unique ability that provides the OLED viewing experience while offering greater freedom in living space. Recognized globally, LG’s transparent OLED made TIME’s Best Inventions 2024 list and received a total of five CES 2024 Innovation Awards, including a Best of Innovation honor.
      Users can effortlessly switch between transparent and opaque modes at the touch of a button, unlocking unique possibilities for entertainment and space design. When in transparent mode, the OLED T offers a futuristic content experience that must be seen to be believed. The screen not only creates the illusion of content floating in mid-air but also produces a mesmerizing effect by “merging” the on-screen visuals with the surrounding space.
      LG OLED T further elevates the user experience with a suite of versatile features that optimally leverage the unique advantages of a transparent OLED screen, enhancing its distinctive value.
      One standout feature is T-Objet, an Always-On-Display (AOD) mode that transforms the screen into a transparent digital canvas, ideal for showcasing artwork, videos or photos in outstanding color and clarity. Complementing this is T-Bar, a sleek info-ticker that appears along the bottom edge of the screen, providing sports results, IoT device statuses, weather forecasts or song title information. The rest of the screen remains unused when T-Bar is active, presenting a clean, uncluttered look and a clear view of the space behind LG’s “virtually invisible” display. For added convenience, T-Home offers a user-friendly interface that delivers a well-organized overview of available services, as well as quick access to apps, settings and other features.
      Despite its stunning 77-inch screen size, the LG OLED T enhances the feeling of space within a room, providing a sense of openness that conventional TVs simply cannot. Its transparency allows it to be placed centrally without being obtrusive or positioned in front of windows without blocking natural light or views of the outdoors.
      The transparent 4K OLED screen, combined with LG’s true wireless video and audio transmission technology, promises not only the aesthetic value but also an enhanced home entertainment experience. Free from tangled cables, the device delivers an immersive, distraction-free viewing environment.
      The OLED T advances innovation with LG’s proprietary Zero Connect Box, a visually lossless wireless video and audio transmission solution* without latency ensuring a seamless viewing experience. By supporting 4K at 120Hz variable refresh rate, OLED T has been certified by NVIDIA G-SYNC® Compatible and AMD FreeSync Premium to eliminate tearing and stuttering for the most dynamic, true-to-life gaming experience.
      The LG SIGNATURE OLED T carries forward LG’s legacy of providing superior picture quality and immersive viewing experiences – hallmarks of LG OLED TVs since the very first model hit the market in 2013. Building on over a decade of OLED innovation, LG’s one-of-a-kind TV brings images fully to life with vibrant, precisely reproduced colors and incredible contrast. Powered by LG’s advanced α (Alpha) 11 AI processor, the OLED T intelligently optimizes both picture and sound quality, delivering unparalleled visual and auditory experiences.
      “LG SIGNATURE OLED T is an exceptional user-focused innovation that offers a distinctive, multi-faceted viewing experience and unprecedented spatial flexibility,” said Park Hyoung-sei, president of the LG Media Entertainment Solution Company. “LG remains at the forefront of innovation by combining its industry-leading OLED technology with unique form factors, transparent screens, wireless connectivity and more, delivering unparalleled, life-enriching advancements no other TV maker can replicate.”
      # # #
      * Wireless transmission refers to the transferring of video and audio signals between a TV screen and the Zero Connect Box. Visually lossless, based on internal test results with ISO/IEC 29170-2 and measurement results may vary depending on connection status.
