Driven by the rapid advancement of AI technologies, the data center construction market is expected to grow continuously over the next decade and possibly beyond.* AI data centers, with their intensive usage of high-powered chips, place greater demands on electricity and water resources and produce more heat than conventional data centers. For these reasons, energy-efficient thermal management solutions have emerged as critical infrastructure components for AI data centers – essential for keeping their servers at the optimal temperature and for minimizing their environmental impacts.
Conventional data centers typically utilize cooling towers to control internal temperatures. However, this method consumes large amounts of water – an increasingly critical concern given the growing threat of global water scarcity. A report from the World Resources Institute highlights that 25 countries currently experience extreme water stress each year, a number projected to double to 51 by 2050, impacting approximately 31 percent of the global population.
In response, AI data center operators are turning to more sustainable, water-efficient cooling solutions. Technologies such as air-cooled chillers (ACC) and direct-to-chip (D2C) cooling solutions are gaining traction as smart alternatives that minimize water usage without sacrificing performance.

An integral part of LG’s comprehensive suite of data center solutions is the ACC, which employs high-efficiency core components and low Global Warming Potential refrigerants to deliver a remarkable performance with fewer emissions and lower energy consumption. Available in both inverter screw and oil-free centrifugal types, the innovative ACC offers enhanced cooling capability with its “free-cooling” system that leverages a pumped refrigerant economizer to cut down on energy and water use.
LG has also introduced highly efficient D2C cooling solutions, such as its Cold Plate. When combined with an ACC, this solution is capable of implementing targeted heat removal to help reduce water usage. The system attaches directly to server chips, using a liquid coolant to absorb the heat and channel it through a closed-loop system managed by the Coolant Distribution Unit (CDU). The CDU features AI virtual sensors for full redundancy and boasts a compact, modular design for easy maintenance and installation.
To create the next generation of data center cooling solutions, LG opened a dedicated AIDC testing facility earlier this year at its LG AI Data Center HVAC Solution Lab. The lab is capable of conducting real-world simulations of data center environments, helping LG fine-tune its systems to meet evolving customer and environmental demands.
Through its ongoing research and innovation, LG is reinforcing its position as a global leader in sustainable data center cooling. By delivering solutions that cut energy use, reduce water consumption and maximize performance, LG is committed to supporting both the future of AI and the health of our planet.

Question

Hi guys. im in the process of purchasing an LG TV.
i concluded on some models and i need your help as the information on the net is confusing and misleading. i was looking these 2 similar models:
the one is
My first questing is the 766 is Direct lid which from what i have read is better than Edge lid of 816 but 816 is more expensive. im i missing something ? the only thing 816 has is local dimming which from some reviewers that is plain awful on this TV.
My other question is that those TVs are advertised in Europe as 50Hz. How will they cope with YouTube's and Netflix's 60 fps content. I have read somewhere that they can also do 60Hz natively but because of the region they are advertised as 50 but the panel is the same.
Also i came across this one which is about 200 euros more expensive. Does it worth it? im no gamer. The only thing i do is watching movies preferably 4K, sports and racing will it benefit from the 100/120Hz panel and QNED technology?
