Hi all, hoping for some expert help.
TV: LG 65QNED86T6A.ADKFLJD (Russia-market unit, now in Iran), S/W 33.31.68.01 (webOS25), 2024 build.
Location settings only show CIS/Russian-speaking countries.
Using an original Factory SVC Remocon (WK-17226), both IN START and ADJ (code 0413) lead to the same SVC menu.
Current Area Option values: Area Code 3638 / Continent Index 54 / Language&Country CS / HW Settings EU.
I've tried entering various Area Option codes (adjacent blocks 3712/3840/3968, and legacy ME/CIS codes from older webOS threads) — all rejected with an error. Continent Index / Language&Country / HW Settings appear to be read-only/derived fields, not directly editable.
Has anyone successfully changed the Area Option on a 2024-model webOS25 QNED TV? Any known working codes or is this generation's SVC menu fully locked without RTOOL/GSDF access?

Every year, Design Week Mexico brings together top architects and interior designers to reimagine one of the country’s historic homes into the “Design House” – turning staid spaces into stunning showcases of sophistication and style. For 2025, both we (LG) and our ultra-premium built-in kitchen appliance brand, SKS, were named the exclusive home appliance brand partners for this landmark exhibition.
Under the theme of “Korean Precision with Mexican Soul,” we presented an elegant, real-world demonstration of how the warmth of Mexican craftsmanship can harmonize with our stylish, technology-driven solutions. Each space reflected our belief that thoughtful innovation can elevate modern design and meaningfully enhance how people live.
A Journey Where Design Meets Technology
Design House lies at the heart of Design Week Mexico, uniting creative talent to reinterpret everyday spaces. This year, we collaborated with four celebrated Mexican designers – Sebastián Ángeles, Guillermo Hernández, Juan José Nemer and Victoria Plascencia – to reimagine a traditional home through fresh artistic expression and future-ready livability.
Each finished room told its own compelling story with the common thread of “design meeting technology” woven throughout the entire house, and the sublime blend of Mexico’s rich cultural heritage and LG’s cutting-edge innovation visible in every space.
Reinterpreting the Bathroom: Ancient Rituals Meet Modern Wellness

His immersive installation blended light, sound and scent to evoke a sense of renewal. At the center stood LG Styler, symbolizing purification while adding contemporary sophistication to the space. “LG Styler is an innovative object that lets people refresh their clothes and feelings without any worries about odors or allergens,” said Ángeles.
The result was a seamless balance of pre-Hispanic aesthetics and futuristic minimalism, reshaping the bathroom into a personal sanctuary where wellness and premium design coexist.
Redefining Everyday Chores: The Laundry Room as a Space of Joy
With his signature mosaic craftsmanship, reimagined the laundry room as an uplifting, design-driven environment. His reinterpretation encouraged visitors to reconsider laundry as not just a task, but a space that can spark delight.
At the center of the concept was the LG WashTower, whose unified washer-dryer configuration saves space while delivering intuitive convenience. “The LG WashTower served as the centerpiece, helping to turn what is so often a neglected corner of the home into an uplifting place that people genuinely enjoy spending time in,” Hernández noted.
Through refined geometric inspiration and a calming color palette, the once-ordinary laundry area became a modern, functional and aesthetically enriched space. At the same time, the WashTower features an all-in-one configuration combining a washer and dryer stacked together, efficiently saving space for practical use.
Connecting Tradition and Modernity: The Kitchen as the Heart of the Home
Under the direction of Juan José Nemer, the kitchen served as an inspired bridge between Mexico’s heritage and the vibrancy of its contemporary lifestyle. Drawing on the concept of Casa Piedra, the space merged future-focused technology with a rich sense of nostalgia, creating an ideal environment for warm family moments and entertaining guests.
SKS built-in appliances, including the latest refrigerator and oven, feature minimalist exterior panels and refined finishes that contribute to a seamless and elevated kitchen interior. Its captivating design inspired the aesthetics of the whole kitchen space, inviting visitors to see, touch and interact with the SKS products in person.
“Frequently, there’s a moment of surprise when you open the door of an SKS product, as people often don’t realize they’ve been looking straight at an appliance the whole time,” said Nemer, noting the subtlety of SKS’s design, and the seamlessness with which each appliance blends in with the rest of the kitchen.
A Place to Connect: SKS “Aura Space” on the Terrace
On the Design House terrace, Victoria Plascencia’s Aura Space offered a serene setting for gatherings, reflecting the growing importance of outdoor areas as natural extensions of the home. Equipped with the SKS wine cellar and SKS dishwasher, the terrace demonstrated how performance and aesthetics can coexist beautifully.
The SKS wine cellar, capable of storing up to 113 bottles across three temperature zones, allowed Aura Space guests to enjoy premium wine and a memorable lifestyle experience, while the SKS dishwasher delivered optimal cleaning performance adapted to local water conditions – all within a sleek, minimalist design that added to the space’s ambiance and appeal.
Through this collaboration with Mexico’s design community, we reaffirmed our role as a lifestyle trend leader and our commitment to delivering solutions for a Better Life for All. LG and SKS home appliances stand not only as high-performance tools, but as design-forward companions that enrich everyday living and seamlessly complement modern spaces.

At LG Electronics, Better Life for All is more than a corporate vision or tagline – it’s a guiding principle that shapes everything we create. Central to our inclusive vision is a belief in universal design: the philosophy of crafting products and experiences to deliver convenience and comfort for everyone, regardless of age, gender or physical ability.
Committed to this philosophy, LG aims to go beyond functional innovation to provide unique lifestyle solutions that truly put people first. A deep understanding of our customers and the diverse environments in which they live is essential to this endeavor, which is why listening to the voice of the customer is such an integral part of our design process.
We have established systems to directly integrate real user feedback, especially from those with limited mobility – and seniors and children – into the product development stage. This includes operating an advisory group of people with disabilities and conducting in-depth usability testing. Both of these elements have proven instrumental in helping us to identify and minimize even the smallest points of user discomfort.
Designing with Empathy, Delivering with Purpose
Design at LG has always been about more than aesthetics. It’s about innovating with empathy to ensure usability, ease and enjoyment for all. For us, universal design is not just an outcome, but a mindset shared by all our teams – one that infuses human-centeredness into every decision, no matter how minor or inconsequential it may seem to someone looking in from the outside. From the first concept sketch to the final product experience, we view every touchpoint as an opportunity to make someone’s daily life simpler, safer and more enjoyable.
This approach requires us to design with people rather than for them. It challenges our teams to think beyond convention, to question what “easy to use” truly means and to continuously refine our technology to better meet and adapt to real human needs. When empathy is woven into the design process itself, innovation follows naturally. That is how we translate inclusivity from principle to practice.
Turning Philosophy into Practice: The Comfort Kit
Putting this philosophy into action, we launched the Comfort Kit – a series of affixable assistive kits designed to allow anyone to use our products easily, regardless of their gender, age or physical condition.
Some examples:
Easy Handle: Enables users with limited hand mobility to open washers and dryers with minimal effort.
Easy Ball: Helps those with reduced finger dexterity to manipulate control dials with ease.
Easy Hanger: Allows people using wheelchairs, or those who are shorter than average, to interact comfortably with the LG Styler.
Rotating Shelf: Improves refrigerator usability by making it easier to access hard-to-reach items. We have presented inclusive design solutions that improve the usability of existing products, becoming the first in the home appliance industry to introduce 14 accessibility-enhancing kits. These Comfort Kit series, designed to remove the “one-size-fits-some” barrier that many customers have long faced, are also sustainably manufactured – reflecting our commitment to protecting the planet.
Recognition Beyond Design
Our efforts have not gone unnoticed. Globally, we are recognized as a model company for inclusive design.
We’ve shared our accessibility technologies and design philosophy at forums such as the CSUN Assistive Technology Conference, where the Comfort Kit series was welcomed by both consumers and organizations advocating for underrepresented communities.
We also showcased this work at important global exhibitions such as IFA and CES. Our dedication to good design earned us the “Design Awards Grand Slam” – winning top honors at all three major global design awards, Red Dot, iF, and IDEA.
These accolades matter to us, but more importantly, they reflect our deep conviction that inclusive design is not just a feature – it’s a responsibility.
Designing for a Better Tomorrow
For us at LG, realizing the Better Life for All vision means creating unique products and experiences that feel right for everyone, and can be enjoyed by anyone. We will continue to advance accessibility so that all customers can take advantage of everything that our products and services have to offer. No caveats or compromises, only convenience and comfort.

As the Official Home Appliance Partner, SKS Captivates
Visitors With a Stunning Showcase of Elegant Built-In Kitchen Solutions
SEOUL, Nov. 7, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG) showcased its ultra-premium built-in kitchen appliance brand, SKS, at Design Week Mexico 2025, one of Latin America’s largest design festivals. As the exclusive home appliance brand partner of this year’s event, SKS successfully elevated its brand presence in the region, reaffirming its leadership in the global luxury built-in market.
At Design House, the flagship exhibition of Design Week Mexico, visitors were invited to experience the full SKS lineup of ultra-premium built-in kitchen appliances, including the SKS refrigerator, freezer, oven, cook top, wine cellar and dishwasherAlso on display were LG’s premium home appliances, such as the InstaView MoodUP refrigerator, QuadWash® dishwasher, WashTower laundry solution and Styler clothing care system.
Design House transforms iconic local mansions and historic buildings into creative design spaces, each designed through collaboration between leading global architects, interior designers and brands. Spanning approximately 1,126 square meters, this year’s exhibition presented visitors with diverse, trend-forward inspiration for designing refined living environments.
Held under the theme “Designed in Mexico,” the 2025 edition of Design Week Mexico celebrated the artistry and craftsmanship of Mexican design. Reflecting this spirit, SKS’s exhibition theme, “Korean Precision with Mexican Soul,” captured the harmony between SKS’s stylish, technologically-advanced design philosophy and the warmth and creativity of Mexican craftsmanship. The Design House exhibition, which ran until November 2, drew strong interest from professional designers, students and the general public alike.
By expanding direct engagement with customers across the globe, SKS continues to strengthen its reputation as a specialist built-in brand and its position in the premium appliance market. Earlier this year, SKS served as the exclusive home appliance sponsor of the Food & Wine Classic 2025 in Aspen, Colorado – an event attended by more than 4,000 chefs, culinary professionals and visitors. In Seoul, LG recently opened SKS Seoul, a newly renovated showroom offering visitors a complete experience of SKS’s latest ultra-premium built-in kitchen innovations.
LG rebranded its ultra-premium built-in line earlier this year, transitioning from SIGNATURE KITCHEN SUITE to SKS. The refreshed identity, designed to be more modern and intuitive, has enhanced brand recognition and accelerated growth in the premium market. Despite the new name, SKS continues to embody the True to Food philosophy that has defined the brand since its inception.
“At Design Week Mexico, we had the unique opportunity to collaborate with world-class architects and designers to create an inspiring space – one brought to life by our stylish and sophisticated SKS solutions,” said Lyu Jae-cheol, president of the LG Home Appliance Solution Company. “LG will continue to strengthen engagement with customers around the world and further establish SKS as a global leader in the ultra-premium built-in kitchen appliance market.”
