Worldâs First Android Based Concurrent Multi-User Framework Redefines In-Vehicle Experience With Single OS Solution SEOUL, April 29, 2025 â LG Electronics (LG), a mobility sector technology leader, and MediaTek, a global semiconductor company, are showcasing their Android-based Concurrent Multi-User (CMU) framework applied to In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) systems at the Shanghai International Automobile Industry Exhibition (Auto Shanghai 2025), one of Asiaâs largest and most influential automotive exhibitions, from April 23 to May 2. The CMU framework is the first of its kind to be implemented on Googleâs Android* Automotive OS (AAOS). This groundbreaking solution enables passengers to simultaneously use multiple displays on a single Android OS, addressing the growing need for enhanced in-vehicle content consumption as displays become larger and more diverse in the Software-Defined Vehicle (SDV) era. The innovative framework provides vehicle occupants with a seamless multi-device Android experience within a unified system. Drivers can use the navigation system while the front-seat passenger streams videos and the rear-seat passengers play games â all simultaneously and independently, in accordance with safety regulations. Previously, typical vehicle setups with a Center Information Display (CID) and two Rear Seat Entertainment (RSE) displays required multiple Android Virtual Machines (VMs). The CMU technology streamlines this setup by running everything on a single Android OS, reducing CPU, memory and storage requirements while minimizing system load. The CMU framework transforms in-vehicle experiences by creating personalized digital spaces for passengers. Each user can log into their own display, connect Bluetooth headphones or gaming controllers, manage privacy settings and can even share movies, gaming and audio across multiple displays. Parents can set parental controls to ensure a safe and age-appropriate experience for children. Automotive OEMs benefit as well, as the CMU frameworkâs efficient architecture supports sophisticated user experiences even on lower-spec CPUs, reducing costs and resource demands. The CMU framework was introduced as a key feature of AAOS15. Beyond AAOSâs core functions, LG offers exclusive features such as independent Bluetooth headset support, Text-To-Speech, parental controls and easy mirroring using gestures. LG leverages its decades of expertise in optimizing the performance of Android mobile devices, which it gained while operating a mobile business. In August 2024, LG and MediaTek announced the integration of MediaTekâs latest automotive system-on-chip into the CMU framework, adding more processing power to streamline development and boost efficiency. To highlight its potential ahead of commercialization, the companies are jointly presenting an IVI solution consisting of one CID and two RSE displays. âBy demonstrating the live CMU framework capability on the MediaTek Dimensity Auto Cockpit MT2718, we are highlighting the future of in-vehicle experiences,â said Mike Chang, Corporate Vice President at MediaTek. âThese solutions meet automotive-grade reliability standards, enabling automotive OEMs to create new designs in confidence.â âOur commitment to revolutionizing in-vehicle experiences through innovative technologies like the CMU framework is another major step toward realizing our mobility vision,â said Eun Seok-hyun, president of the LG Vehicle Solution Company. âLooking ahead, we will continue to expand our work with industry leaders like MediaTek to develop more integrated, intelligent solutions, transforming vehicles into true living spaces on wheels with unprecedented connectivity, entertainment and personalization.â # # # * Google and Android are trademarks of Google LLC. link hidden, please login to view -

The lineup also boasts highly personalized features, thanks to AI technology that can understand each userâs unique audio and visual preferences. Analyzing over 1.6 billion image settings and 40 million sound profiles, the AI Picture/Sound Wizard takes customization to a new level, recommending tailored audio and visual modes for each user. For added convenience, LG introduces an AI button on the AI Magic Remote, providing intuitive voice recognition and effortless navigation. The remoteâs pointer function works like a computer mouse, allowing users to easily explore content and adjust viewing modes.

By connecting to the Zero Connect Box, the QNED9M can transmit audio and video wirelessly at up to 144Hz, without latency or loss in picture and sound quality, while still meeting the criteria of an AMD FreeSync Premium experience.

As demand for ultra-large screens continues to rise, LGâs new 100-inch QNED TV delivers a cinema-quality experience â bringing immersive, theater-like visuals into the home.

Company Achieves Record-Breaking First-Quarter Revenue Driven by Balanced Growth in Home Appliance and B2B Sectors SEOUL, April 24, 2025 â LG Electronics Inc. (LG) today announced consolidated revenue of KRW 22.74 trillion and operating profit of KRW 1.26 trillion for the first quarter of 2025. This marks the highest first-quarter revenue in the companyâs history and the sixth consecutive year in which operating profit surpassed KRW 1 trillion during the first quarter. Strong performance was driven by qualitative growth across key business areas, especially in B2B, non-hardware segments (such as subscriptions and webOS platform) and direct-to-consumer (D2C) sales. Vehicle solutions and heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) â both critical to LGâs B2B strategy and future growth â delivered record-breaking quarterly revenue and operating profit. Combined operating profit from the Vehicle Solution Company and Eco Solution Company increased 37.2 percent year-over-year, with revenue climbing 12.3 percent. The Home Appliance Solution Company, LGâs flagship business and primary profit generator, also recorded its highest-ever quarterly revenue while maintaining global market leadership. The business is rapidly transforming through innovative models such as subscription services and D2C sales. Meanwhile, the media and entertainment segment demonstrated solid performance, led by continued growth in LGâs webOS-based advertising and content platform. The LG Home Appliance Solution Company reported first-quarter revenue of KRW 6.70 trillion and operating profit of KRW 644.6 billion. Compared to the same period last year, revenue increased by 9.3 percent, setting a new record, and operating profit grew by 9.9 percent. The Company continues to maintain its market leadership while accelerating the growth of its subscription and D2C sales. Looking to the second quarter, the Company anticipates increased uncertainty due to shifting global trade policies and increasing market competition. To address these challenges, the Company will expand its portfolio of new and volume-zone products, while deepening its focus on subscription and online businesses. Additional priorities include focusing on opportunities in B2B such as built-in appliances and external sales of key components like motors and compressors. Profitability efforts will center on enhancing cost competitiveness through optimizing operational efficiency. The LG Media Entertainment Solution Company posted first-quarter revenue of KRW 4.95 trillion and operating profit of KRW 4.9 billion. While TV demand remained soft, growth in webOS-based advertising and content services made a greater contribution to performance. Revenue remained in line with the previous year, though profitability was impacted by rising LCD panel prices and higher marketing spend. In the second quarter, the Company will seek to create synergies across its display-focused businesses, including TVs, commercial displays, and IT products such as laptops and monitors. While the market recovers slowly, the Company will emphasize profitability, particularly through premium products. The expanding webOS-based platform will aim to increase geographic reach and product base while advancing strategic partnerships with content providers to maintain its growth trajectory. The LG Vehicle Solution Company recorded its highest-ever quarterly revenue and operating profit, with revenue of KRW 2.84 trillion and operating profit of KRW 125.1 billion. Growth continues to be powered by a robust order backlog totaling KRW 100 trillion. Notably, profitability improved in the in-vehicle infotainment business, where premium product share is steadily increasing. In the second quarter, the Company aims to sustain revenue growth and solidify a stable profit structure by expanding high-value product sales, optimizing operations in the EV component business, and enhancing resource efficiency. The LG Eco Solution Company also achieved record-high quarterly revenue and operating profit. First-quarter revenue reached KRW 3.05 trillion, with operating profit of KRW 406.7 billion, resulting in a strong operating margin of 13.3 percent. Year-over-year, revenue rose 18.0 percent and operating profit grew 21.2 percent. Since the beginning of 2025, LG has operated its HVAC business as an independent division, with noticeable performance gains driven by efficient resource allocation and a B2B-focused organizational structure. Alongside the Vehicle Solution Company, the Eco Solution Company serves as a core engine of LGâs B2B growth. In the second quarter, the Company will seek to expand sales of new residential HVAC products and secure commercial air conditioning contracts in emerging markets. It also plans to target large-scale industrial and power-generation projects â including AI data centers â by leveraging its ultra-large chiller solutions. # # # link hidden, please login to view -

I have a 42 inch LG OLED evo AI C4 4K Smart TV 2024 with a USE6S soundbar connected via HDMI. Up until a few days ago, the iPhone app was connected via WiFi. I could use it to control the sound effect. The sound bar remote could also change the sound effect, and the volume with the volume control visible on the TV screen. Now the iPhone app does not connect to the soundbar and the remote control doesn't appear to alter the volums: there's no on screen display. And also, the TV WOWcast output is not 'sticky': that it to say I can select it, and it remains for a time, but drops.
