Originally launched in 2016, the SIGNATURE KITCHEN SUITE brand now enters a new era with a refreshed identity and a new lineup of cutting-edge kitchen appliances under the SKS name.

The transformation reflects the brand’s refined aesthetic, modern positioning and steadfast commitment to sophisticated design and advanced innovation. The new “SKS” is designed to resonate more strongly with customers worldwide while maintaining the brand’s essence. This rebranding underscores SKS’s leadership in the luxury built-in appliances.

Despite global market challenges, SKS is poised to solidify its leadership by leveraging cutting-edge Core Technology, AI-driven convenience and sophisticated design. This strategy positions the brand as a key player in the growing built-in appliance market, reinforcing its position as a premier household appliance leader. Following KBIS 2025, LG will roll out a comprehensive brand renewal across all customer touchpoints, including retail stores and showrooms, and will expand its U.S. presence with a third showroom.

At KBIS 2025, LG is showcasing a range of innovative SKS appliances designed to enhance luxury kitchen aesthetics and functionality.

      To elevate the cooking experience, the LG SIGNATURE Oven Range offers functions such as Gourmet AI, which uses an AI camera inside the oven to identify more than 85 dishes and automatically select the ideal cooking settings. The AI Browning feature monitors bread as it bakes and sends a notification through the ThinQ app when it reaches the preset level of doneness. Connected smartphone features include real-time monitoring, a time-lapse recap after cooking and easy sharing on social media.
      The new SIGNATURE lineup stays true to its Refined Minimal design identity – a unified aesthetic defined by sleek horizontal lines, iconic gold accents and meticulous craftsmanship. Reflecting the brand’s heritage of excellence, the latest products balance elegant design with maximized capacity and enhanced AI-driven performance.
      LG will introduce three new LG SIGNATURE design collections – Seamless, Iconic and Tailored – giving consumers the freedom to choose products that best fit their needs and personal style. Built to meet the highest performance standards, the collections incorporate bold materials that create a confident presence in the home. Aligned with this approach, LG aims to broaden its premium customer base by strengthening region-specific strategies and accelerating growth across global high-end markets.

      True Cinematic Immersion and Stunning 4K Visuals

      SEOUL, Oct. 20, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG) unveiled the LG MAGNIT Active Micro LED, its latest innovation in home cinema display that incorporates Active Matrix technology for ultra-precise control of every individual pixel. This next-generation model brings exceptional image clarity, contrast and depth, redefining the viewing experience with premium home entertainment.
      Available from October 21 in Korea, followed by key global markets including North America, the LG MAGNIT Active Micro LED represents LG’s premium MAGNIT lineup. With a 136-inch screen (approximately 3 meters wide and 1.7 meters tall), 4K (3,840 x 2,160) resolution and an extraordinary contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1, it delivers unparalleled immersion and visual realism.
      By integrating Active Matrix technology, the new model’s self-emissive Micro LED display enables each pixel to generate its own light. Unlike conventional Passive Matrix systems that control pixels by rows and columns, LG’s Active Matrix approach provides individual pixel-level control for remarkably refined detail and ultra-high-definition picture quality.
      LG’s proprietary surface treatment technology deepens black levels and minimizes the impact of external lighting for superior color accuracy. Its precisely aligned modular design minimizes gaps between panels to create a seamless viewing surface, while the flicker-free screen provides a comfortable, strain-free viewing experience, even during long viewing sessions.

      Powered by LG’s latest α9 AI Processor 6th Generation, the display intelligently analyzes the creator’s intent to optimize every scene. It reduces noise, sharpens clarity and recognizes faces, objects, text and backgrounds to deliver more natural, detailed and lifelike images. In addition, its 144Hz high refresh rate ensures smooth, blur-free motion, making it ideal for fast-paced gaming and dynamic sports content.
      Powered by LG’s proprietary smart TV platform, webOS, the display allows users to effortlessly enjoy LG Channels, LG’s free ad-supported streaming television (FAST) service, as well as other OTT and gaming content. What’s more, by subscribing to LG Gallery+, users can enhance the aesthetic of their living spaces with an array of visual content, turning their homes into personalized exhibitions with famous paintings or game illustrations. The display also supports AirPlay 2 and Miracast, enabling convenient screen sharing with iOS and Android OS devices.
      The LG MAGNIT Active Micro LED features Dolby Vision to deliver stunning visuals with a dazzling array of colors, sharper contrast and richer details. It has also received Color Consistency Wide Viewing certification from TÜV Rheinland, underscoring its ability to deliver uniform color and wide viewing angles, even at ultra-large screen sizes.
      LG designed the MAGNIT Active Micro LED with both installation environments and user well-being in mind. The product has been certified for electromagnetic compatibility under the Federal Communications Commission regulations for residential environments, and has achieved Class 2 certification in the flammability assessment test conducted by the British Standards Institution, verifying its suitability for use in home and indoor applications.
      LG plans to advance this product into a fully scalable video wall solution, further strengthening its presence in the B2B market.
      “With its impressive size that spans an entire wall in lifelike colors and stunning high-definition detail, the new LG MAGNIT Active Micro LED transforms a home into a true theater, delivering an unmatched cinematic experience,” said Park Hyoung-sei, president of the LG Media Entertainment Solution Company.

      What if technology didn’t just support creativity, but became the canvas itself? In Hong Kong’s iconic West Kowloon Cultural District, that vision came to life through Tenka Taihei, a one-of-a-kind Art Tech x Music performance held at Freespace. At the heart of the experience was LG SIGNATURE OLED T, the world’s first wireless transparent OLED TV, transforming innovation into a living, breathing part of the show.

      Tenka Taihei, meaning “Peace Under Heaven,” evokes a sense of harmony, stability and hope for the future. It’s a fitting theme in an ever-shifting world. Conceived by musician and creative director Kendy Suen, the performance blends live music, digital calligraphy, projection visuals and interactive sound installations into one immersive experience.

      For Suen, the transparent nature of LG SIGNATURE OLED T was more than a technical feature – it was symbolic of the harmony between technology and human connection. “Like a protective yet open fortress,” he explains, “it lets audiences see beyond barriers and connect with the broader world,” reflecting the delicate balance of strength and openness at the heart of Tenka Taihei.

      This collaboration is part of LG’s broader belief in “brave optimism” – that even in uncertain times, innovation and creativity can spark hope, foster connection and inspire joy. Through the power of Tenka Taihei, LG explores how technology can move beyond functionality to become a medium for storytelling and cultural exchange, demonstrating that the most powerful innovations enrich human experiences.

      As part of the performance, the LG SIGNATURE OLED T became a dynamic digital canvas that blurred the boundaries between the physical and digital worlds. Visual artist Moon Hung, renowned for his real-time artistic creations, used the transparent OLED in harmony with projection mapping and an interactive soundscape, crafting visuals that appeared to float effortlessly in mid-air.
      Audiences could take in every intricate detail up close, even in scenes composed of more than two million individual radicals. The screen’s transparent nature allowed them to see both the calligraphy performance and the surrounding space at once, creating the illusion that on-screen visuals were seamlessly integrated into the environment. The result was an elegant synchrony of art, sound and technology – a multi-layered journey where viewers could see sound and hear calligraphy.

      The performance left many audience members in awe of its seamless fusion of art and technology. The transparent OLED screen, in particular, captivated their curiosity and admiration, enveloping them in mesmerizing visuals that appeared to drift effortlessly through the space.
