      I have a Roku device attached to my LG TV model # 55UQ7570PUJ. As I’m watching something on the Roku and using my Roku remote, every now and then something that I press on that Roku remote brings up the LG ‘Select a menu item’ screenwhere AV Reset is highlighted. Any idea what could be happening here? One clue: after I press the undo button on the LG remote to get rid of that window, I find that the volume is all the way down. Maybe I’m hitting the Roku remote’s Mute button in some weird way and that brings up the ‘Select a menu item’ window?
      It’s surprising that something I press on the Roku remote brings up an LG dialog, but that’s what’s happening. Thanks for any help.

      Today’s cars are already smart – but making them feel effortlessly intelligent is a different challenge altogether. As vehicles take on more roles than ever before – navigation guide, safety assistant, entertainment hub – they demand a central system capable of orchestrating it all with precision and fluidity. What drivers genuinely want is simple: a smoother, more connected experience behind the wheel.
      Our next-generation High-Performance Computing (HPC) Lite platform was built for exactly that purpose. Debuting at CES® 2026, this new platform brings a vehicle’s most essential functions together into one unified, intelligent brain. By merging the In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) system and Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) into a single, cohesive architecture, HPC processes information more efficiently – creating a driving experience that feels smoother, more responsive and inherently safer.
      Building the HPC Platform Together
      To build a platform as ambitious as HPC Lite, finding the right partner was essential. That’s why we teamed up with aiMotive – a leading developer of advanced automotive AI and a wholly owned subsidiary of Stellantis. Their strength in perception and driving intelligence, paired with our long-standing expertise in vehicle components, formed a collaboration that elevated every stage of development.
      The result is a powerful, next-gen HPC platform that serves as the vehicle’s central processing unit. It consolidates multiple functions into the HPC Electronic Control Unit (ECU), built on an advanced System-on-Chip (SoC) and enhanced with aiMotive’s aiDrive software. By integrating these capabilities within a single SoC, the platform handles the heavy data demands of software-defined vehicles (SDVs) with remarkable efficiency. For OEMs, this means lower component costs, reduced hardware complexity and a vehicle architecture built for both performance and safety.
      Intelligent Assistance for Everyday Driving
      With intelligent software at its core, HPC Lite transforms the daily drive in numerous ways. The integrated aiDrive solution supports Level 2+ automated navigation-assisted driving on highways and eligible secondary roads, utilizing a comprehensive multi-camera and multi-radar setup that doesn’t rely on HD maps.
      Designed to assist rather than replace the driver, the system acts as a smart companion. It can recognize traffic lights, bring the vehicle to a halt at stop lines and assist in adjusting speed according to highway limits. It also helps with overtaking maneuvers and assists in yielding to vehicles approaching from behind when changing lanes or merging. These features – powered by aiMotive’s efficient, end-to-end AI stack – work together to facilitate a more seamless and comfortable driving experience.
      Intuitive Interfaces for the Connected Cabin
      Advanced technology is most effective when it’s intuitive to use. That’s why we optimized our Human-Machine Interface (HMI) for next-generation automotive displays, ensuring drivers stay informed without distraction.
      A unified digital cockpit brings together the instrument cluster and Center Information Display (CID), while our ADAS Confident View provides intuitive 3D and 2D visualizations of the vehicle’s surroundings. Drivers gain quick, clear access to essential alerts – from following distance to real-time, traffic-based route suggestions – and can even view curated lifestyle information such as promotions from frequently visited stores.
      Charting the Future of SDV Innovation
      Engineered to efficiently manage the complex functions of next-gen vehicles, the HPC platform is poised to become a core technology for the SDV era. Our continued collaboration with aiMotive will focus on delivering tailored solutions for global automakers – combining high performance with cost-competitiveness to meet diverse market needs.
      To mark the start of this shared innovation journey, we will jointly introduce the HPC platform at CES this January.
      This partnership represents a powerful synergy of expertise. Gabor Pongracz, senior vice president and head of ADAS/AD Software at aiMotive, notes that combining aiMotive’s AI-powered software with our technological strengths enables scalable, reliable and intelligent solutions for the future of driving.
      For us at LG, the launch of HPC signals an important milestone – one that further solidifies our role as a leading provider of transformative IVI and ADAS solutions. Eun Seok-hyun, president of LG Vehicle Solution Company, views the platform as a major step forward in the advancement of SDVs. Building on the success of the original HPC platform unveiled at CES 2025, our next-generation solution is set to “redefine the drive” – taking driving comfort and convenience on the road to a whole new level.

      31.5-inch Surgical Monitor Boosts Convenience in the OR With Intelligent Features
      Including Preset Picture Modes and Instant Screen Mode Switching

      SEOUL, Sep. 11, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG) is launching its new 31.5-inch 4K surgical monitor, model 32HS710S. Designed to streamline surgical workflow, the monitor combines crisp 4K resolution (3,840 x 2,160) image quality with intelligent new features that prioritize user convenience and operational efficiency. The monitor has received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. FDA, confirming it can now be sold in the U.S.
      The 32HS710S introduces a range of workflow-enhancing functions to make it simpler and more intuitive for medical professionals to interact with visual data. For example, users can configure picture mode settings independently for each input source, helping to display images from multiple devices in a way that suits their needs. Dedicated hotkeys enable quick activation of preferred screen modes and Picture-by-Picture (PBP) layouts, facilitating adjustments with a single button press.
      The monitor’s 4K IPS display is designed to deliver clear, detailed images with consistent color across a wide viewing angle. It provides a typical brightness of 800 cd/m² and covers approximately 95 percent of the DCI-P3 color space. Compliant with the Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) standard, the monitor is a high-quality solution for displaying visual output from various medical imaging devices.
      To address the demands of the operating room environment, the 32HS710S employs durable glass with Optical Bonding, along with Anti-Glare, Anti-Reflection and Anti-Fingerprint coatings to help maintain image clarity under bright surgical lighting. The monitor is built with an IP45 rating for the front, IP32 rating for the back and IK06 impact resistance. Weighing approximately 9.2 kilograms, it can be mounted on a variety of surgical monitor arms.
      For operational continuity, the monitor includes a Failover Input Switch that can automatically switch to a backup source if the primary signal is interrupted. This key reliability feature is complemented by versatile viewing options, including 4-screen PBP and Picture-in-Picture (PIP) for monitoring multiple sources at once. The display also offers Mirror and Rotation Modes for the easy adjustment of image orientation, and Clone Screen output for training and collaboration purposes.
      “In developing the 32HS710S, we concentrated on delivering practical workflow benefits for surgical teams – for whom time and focus are critical,” said YS Lee, head of the IT Business at the LG Media Entertainment Solution Company. “By incorporating automated screen settings, one-touch controls and reliable backup systems, we aim to provide tools that can help medical staff maintain focus on patient care.”
