Hi, I have a feature request for the sound out setting. I often connect my Bluetooth headphones to the TV. We don't use the internal speaker of the TV, we use the optical sound out setting whenever I don't use Bluetooth. It would make our lives a lot easier if the TV can remember the last sound out setting before connecting to Bluetooth and default back to this setting when the Bluetooth device gets disconnected. At the moment, each time I disconnect the headphones I have to go back into settings and change the sound out setting from internal speaker to optical again.
Thanks and regards
Hubert

CES Best of Innovation Award Winner Redefines
In-Vehicle Experience Powered by Affectionate Intelligence
SEOUL, Dec. 17, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG) will unveil an immersive experiential space at CES 2026 that brings the company’s future mobility vision to life through Affectionate Intelligence. The exhibit invites visitors to experience firsthand how AI can reshape the driver, front-passenger and rear seating areas, reimagining the whole cabin as a more intuitive and human-centered space designed to enhance every ride.
This new series of solutions has earned the CES 2026 Best of Innovation Award in In-Vehicle Entertainment, marking the first time the LG Vehicle Solution Company has won the category’s top honor. The system brings together cutting-edge display technology, advanced in-cabin sensing, and on-device AI under a comprehensive AI-Defined Vehicle architecture.
The showcase features three core experiential solutions: the Mobility Display Solution, which transforms the windshield into an intelligent interface; the Automotive Vision Solution, which enhances safety and delivers context-aware information to the driver and front passenger via Vision AI; and the In-Vehicle Entertainment Solution, which provides personalized content recommendations, memory-based media and real-time translation.
In the Mobility Display Solution zone, visitors can experience how AI intuitively presents essential information through a transparent OLED-equipped windshield. For example, when approaching a traffic signal, AI displays the remaining wait time above the signal, selectively providing only the most relevant information at that moment. In autonomous driving mode, the system analyzes the surrounding environment and generates corresponding visual scenes: cherry blossom petals flutter across the display on tree-lined roads, while a monotonous tunnel transforms into an enchanting forest, creating an immersive, near-virtual-reality experience.
The Automotive Vision Solution is an advanced in-cabin sensing solution powered by LG’s Automotive Vision System, designed to enhance safety while enabling context-aware, empathetic interactions and personalized content delivery. The solution tracks driver movement, gaze direction, attention, clothing color and gestures in real time, allowing the system to understand and respond to the occupant’s state. Through eye tracking and gesture control, the system expands the range of interest-based information, while anamorphic display graphics heighten immersion and realism. For instance, in autonomous driving mode, if a front-seat passenger looks at an advertisement displayed on a building, gaze recognition can trigger related information on the passenger display, providing seamless product discovery and purchasing.
The In-Vehicle Entertainment Solution delivers personalized entertainment and interactive communication. By recognizing scenery outside the vehicle, AI can display photos linked to past memories associated with that location on the window display. Passengers can share these moments in real time through video calls with family members. During long journeys, AI recommends content tailored to individual tastes, providing entertainment that turns miles into moments. In another scenario, if a restaurant staff member communicates using sign language, AI interprets the gestures into on-screen text to support smooth, two-way communication.
“We are bringing our future mobility vision to life by embedding AI across our solutions – many of which, including in-cabin sensing, are already in production with global OEMs,” said Eun Seok-hyun, president of the LG Vehicle Solution Company. “By accelerating these innovations to market, we aim to pioneer the era of AI-driven vehicles in the years ahead.”
LG AI-Powered In-Vehicle Solutions will be on display at the company’s booth during CES 2026 from January 6-9 (#15004, Las Vegas Convention Center).

Strengthening Customer Value Via International Research Collaboration and
Comprehensive Field Testing Across Diverse Climates Over Two Years
SEOUL, Nov. 28, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG) continues to accelerate the development of high-performance heat pump technologies through its Global Heat Pump Consortium, expanding research across diverse climate conditions – from cold-humid regions to extreme heat. With a sharpened focus on efficiency, dependability and field-validated performance, LG is paving the way for the new era of energy-conscious heat pump innovation.
As global demand for cleaner heating intensifies and regions such as Europe phase out fossil-fuel boilers to support decarbonization targets, heat pumps are emerging as a key technology in the transition to more sustainable climate control. However, conventional heat pump often see reduced performance in low temperatures or cold-humid conditions, limiting adoption in some markets. To overcome this challenge and accelerate global deployment, LG is ramping up collaborative research initiatives to develop solutions optimized for diverse climates.
In 2023, LG established the Consortium for Advanced Heat Pump Research (CAHR) in Alaska, joining forces with the University of Alaska Anchorage (UAA) and the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) to undertake R&D for high-efficiency cold-climate heat pump solutions. Since then, LG has expanded this collaborative network – now comprising 12 universities across five countries – and broadened its research into climate-specific heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) technologies.
These efforts are already yielding measurable results. At AHR Expo 2025 in the United States, LG and research partners from UAA and UAF presented findings based on long-term operational data from joint laboratories in Anchorage and Fairbanks, demonstrating improved low-temperature heating performance and efficiency by reducing thermal resistance in outdoor heat exchangers. The research contributed to the development of LG’s residential cold-climate heat pump, winner of the 2025 AHR Innovation Award in the Sustainable Solutions category.
Further momentum is coming from the European Consortium for Advanced Heat Pump Research (ECAHR), founded in June 2024. The consortium recently completed real-world testing of LG’s R32-based Air-to-Air Heat Pump (AAHP) in Norway. Results showed that energy use and carbon emissions reductions of approximately 60 to 80 percent, compared with an electric heater.1 These significant findings were published in the August and October issues of REHVA Journal,2 a respected publication for HVAC professionals.
To verify product performance in real-life environments, LG is conducting extensive field testing across seven global locations worldwide – including the United States, China, Norway and Saudi Arabia – spanning LG’s air-to-water heat pumps (AWHP), Multi V systems and residential air conditioners.
These field studies generate insights that directly influence product design. For example, observations that frost commonly accumulates on the lower section of outdoor heat exchangers in extreme cold led LG to introduce a redesigned structure that reduces frost buildup and enhances operational stability in severe winter conditions.
Strengthened by its global research collaborations and robust field-testing infrastructure, LG is advancing the development of next-generation heat pump technologies that deliver high efficiency and reliable performance in diverse climates. Recently, LG announced a partnership with King Saud University and Pusan National University to establish a tropical-climate testing facility in Saudi Arabia – reinforcing the company’s commitment to regionally optimized HVAC innovation.
“Through strengthened global research collaboration and extensive field validation, LG is accelerating the advancement of heat pump technology,” said James Lee, president of the LG ES Company. “We remain committed to delivering reliable, high-efficiency and sustainable heat pump solutions that meet the needs of customers around the world.”
