LG Begins Roll Out of Impressive 2014 TV Lineup


Question

Posted

SEOUL, KOREA - LG Electronics (LG) today introduced its 2014 TV lineup in Korea, unveiling a total of 68 new models including ULTRA HD TVs in sizes ranging from 49 to 105 inches, its largest collection to date.

Among its new models is LG’s groundbreaking 105-inch Curved ULTRA HD TV in addition to its smaller 65-, 55- and 49-inch curved 4K units. As the first manufacturer to introduce an 84-inch ULTRA HD TV to the world in 2012, LG has consistently upped the ante with first-to-market ULTRA HD and OLED units. New for 2014 is LG’s webOS Smart TV platform, first unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show in early January, which the company expects to set a new standard in the smart TV market for its openness and ease-of-use.

“We are extremely confident that our state-of-the-art ULTRA HD and OLED TV models will establish a new benchmark this year,” said Hyun-hwoi Ha, president and CEO of the LG Electronics Home Entertainment Company. “With our strong competitiveness in display technology including ULTRA IPS, CINEMA 3D and the unrivalled simplicity of the webOS Smart TV platform, we are optimistic that in 2014, LG will be the one to watch in the TV industry.”

Just got my hands on LG 42LB670V webOS TV here in Lithuania.

 

All I want to say now is that it's very laggy, glitchy, slow and not very user friendly. Basic Live TV menu is very non-user-friendly, it is much more straightforward on 2012-2014 Netcast TVs. Multitasking is pretty strange, although it works. LG Apps Store doesn't work now, although my Netcast app worked out of the box, so it's probably simulated somehow.

 

My advice - don't rush into buying it now, try it in the store first, you can get disappointed.

The begining of a new OS seem to be hard: no update scheddule, no compatibility information (the LG Magic remote don't work with recent models).

Please LG, bring the source code public, updates and fuctionalities will be much faster available !

Otherwise, give us informations about firmware releases.

      Immersive Sound, Long Battery Life and Ergonomic Comfort Across All Models—
      Tailored for Audiophiles and Everyday Listeners

      SEOUL, Sep. 15, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG) is expanding the xboom Buds lineup with the introduction of Buds Plus and Buds Lite, building on the success of the original xboom Buds launched in January. Designed to deliver high-quality audio experiences for casual listeners and discerning audiophiles alike, the new models offer immersive sound, extended battery life and ergonomic comfort, ensuring uninterrupted listening wherever life takes you.
      Expertly tuned by world-renowned musician will.i.am, the xboom Buds series delivers high-resolution sound quality and rich bass. With this expansion, LG continues to differentiate its audio offerings by providing a diverse range of features and pricing options tailored to different lifestyles – from premium performance to essential everyday use.
      Shared Performance Across the Lineup
      The Buds Plus and Buds Lite are built on LG’s expertise in audio innovation, delivering a solid foundation of high-end sound and reliable performance:
      Immersive Sound: Lightweight graphene drivers deliver clear, detailed audio with rich bass and minimal distortion. Active Noise Cancellation (ANC)1: LG’s intelligent ANC technology detects and reduces background noise for a more focused listening experience. Long Battery Life: Up to 10 hours of playback and 30 hours with the charging case across all models, with Buds Lite offering even longer endurance. Seamless Connectivity: Bluetooth 5.4 ensures smooth, low-latency streaming across devices, while support for Multi-Point & Multi-Pairing, Google Fast Pair and Swift Pairing makes switching between smartphones, laptops and tablets effortless. Ergonomic Comfort: All models feature a secure in-ear fit with multiple ear tip sizes and a unique ear hook design for added stability. These shared features guarantee LG xboom’s signature audio quality in every xboom Buds model.
      xboom Buds Plus: Premium Features for Elevated Listening Pleasure
      Designed for people seeking truly elevated listening experiences, Buds Plus combine advanced technology with thoughtful design. Adaptive EQ continuously monitors earbud fit and automatically adjusts the sound profile in real time. This ensures optimal audio quality regardless of how the earbuds are worn – compensating for changes that could otherwise result in sound imbalance or bass loss. The result is consistently rich, immersive sound with minimal variation. Buds Plus also feature a triple microphone system that enhances both ANC performance and call clarity, making them ideal for noisy environments or professional use.
      To ensure the best possible fit and sound isolation, the Noise Cancelling Optimization tool on the xboom Buds app recommends the ear gel that offers the most secure seal, maximizing both comfort and ANC effectiveness.
      With hygiene a growing concern, LG reintroduces its UVnano2 technology through the Buds Plus charging case – eliminating 99.9 percent of bacteria from the surface of the ear gel and speaker mesh while charging, and helping users stay fresh and worry-free throughout the day.
      Also making a welcome return is the Plug & Wireless feature, which instantly turns the charging case into a Bluetooth transmitter for non-Bluetooth devices such as in-flight entertainment systems and gym equipment. With Auracast support, users can also synchronize audio across multiple devices, perfect for watch parties, multiplayer gaming and collaborative projects.
      And for those who value convenience, the Buds Plus charging case supports wireless charging, making it easier than ever to power up without fumbling for cables. Whether placed on a charging pad at home or on the go, this feature adds a layer of effortless practicality to the premium experience.
      xboom Buds Lite: Essential Audio for Everyday Adventures
      Designed for those who value simplicity with a touch of personalization, Buds Lite deliver high-quality wireless audio in a streamlined, comfortable form. Powered by the same lightweight graphene drivers as Buds Plus, they offer clear, balanced audio for music, calls and more.
      With up to 11.5 hours of playback on a single charge – and up to 35 hours with the charging case – Buds Lite are built to keep up with long commutes, travel days and non-stop listening. Their lightweight, ergonomic design and multiple ear tip sizes ensure a secure, comfortable fit that lasts all day.
      To enhance the listening experience, Buds Lite feature Mild ANC paired with four customizable EQ modes, allowing users to fine-tune their sound profile to match their preferences – whether they’re relaxing at home or working in a café. This added layer of personalization brings a premium touch to everyday audio.
      The Full xboom Buds Family
      xboom Buds Plus: Advanced earbuds with superior sound and easy usability. Recommended for active users who travel frequently or have dynamic lifestyles. xboom Buds: Standard earbuds suitable for various everyday activities. Recommended for users with active daily routines, such as students and professionals. xboom Buds Lite: Essential earbuds with long-lasting battery life, ideal for indoor use. Recommended for users in environments such as cafes and libraries. “Sound has always been part of LG’s identity, beginning with the first radio made in Korea and evolving into today’s wireless audio innovations,” said Lee Jeong-seok, head of the LG Media Entertainment Solution Company’s audio business division. “With xboom Buds Plus and Buds Lite expanding the xboom Buds lineup, we are honoring that legacy by making immersive, high-quality audio experiences available to more people, regardless of their lifestyle or listening preferences.”
      Availability
      With the newest members of the xboom Buds family, LG reaffirms its commitment to giving consumers audio solutions that fit seamlessly into their lifestyle and reflect their unique preferences.
      The new Buds Plus and Buds Lite models will roll out in major markets worldwide from September. To learn more about LG xboom Buds, please visit:

      1 Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) Disclaimer: ANC functionality is available across all xboom Buds models, but performance may vary. xboom Buds and Buds Plus use a 3-microphone system for enhanced noise detection and reduction. Buds Lite uses a single microphone to monitor ambient noise, resulting in different ANC experiences depending on the model and environment.
      2 UVnano is a compound word derived from “UV” and its unit “nanometer.” Independent testing shows that the UVnano charging case eliminates 99.9% of Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Klebsiella pneumoniae bacteria from the earbuds’ speaker mesh within ten minutes of charging. The UV LED function operates when the charging case is connected to a power cable. However users can also customize the settings so that the UVnano is activated automatically whenever the earbuds are placed inside the case and the lid is closed, for added convenience.

      Optimized for Modern Living, Company’s New Fit & Max Refrigerators Deliver Stylish,
      User-Centric Design and Smart Performance to European Kitchens

      SEOUL, Aug. 19, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG) is unveiling its latest refrigerator lineup for the European market at IFA 2025. Designed to deliver top-tier energy efficiency, the new french door and bottom-freezer models have been developed specifically for Europe’s unique housing environments and consumer lifestyles, reflecting LG’s extensive research into local needs and preferences. The lineup combines energy-saving performance, smart features and space-efficient styling that integrates seamlessly into modern homes.
      Outstanding Energy Efficiency
      Responding to increased demand for energy-efficient appliances across Europe, LG is introducing models that meet – and significantly surpass – the European Union’s highest (“A”) energy rating. The new bottom-freezer model exceeds the requirement for the A rating, while the french door model has impressively earned an A rating, despite being in a category where such ratings are rare.
      LG’s exceptional energy efficiency was made possible by its optimized insulation design tailored for the European market, as well as AI-based features that help reduce electricity consumption by learning household usage patterns and optimizing compressor operation during periods of low activity.
      Fit & Max: Perfect Fit and Maximum Performance
      Designed for Europe’s typically compact kitchens, the new lineup features LG’s Zero Clearance Hinge, enabling doors to open fully (up to 110 degrees) even when placed flush against a wall. Sleek exteriors with LG’s Premium Flat Door design create a refined, built-in look.
      AI-powered features elevate convenience and efficiency to make every day easier and power bills more manageable. AI Fresh monitors your door-opening habits over three weeks and lowers the temperature in advance during peak times. This helps reduce sudden temperature changes when the door is opened, keeping food fresher for longer. AI Saving Mode analyzes use-behavior and intelligently adjusts cooling performance during low-usage periods, helping save energy.
      Embodying LG’s MAX concept – maximizing space efficiency and food freshness – the lineup features a variety of storage solutions that enhance interior usability, including the Retractable Shelf for tall or bulky items, and generous interior capacity. Freshness technologies include Linear Cooling to minimize temperature fluctuations, Door Cooling+ for fast, even cooling and Fresh Converter+ with customizable storage zones for meat, fish and vegetables.
      New French Door Refrigerator Boasting Built-In Look, Practical Features
      The new french door model presents LG’s first Thin Door design with both an ice and water dispenser, plus the installation flexibility of the Zero Clearance Hinge. The Ultra Slim In-Door Ice Maker saves storage space while delivering a steady supply of ice.
      Interior enhancements include an optimized basket design that reduces the risk of bottles tipping over when opening or closing. Deeper shelves improve internal storage capacity, aligning with the needs of European lifestyles. Soft Closing Doors prevent slamming, ensuring smoother and quieter operation.
      New Bottom-Freezer Designed for Flexibility
      Designed to fit real European kitchen environments, the new bottom-freezer series offers a variety of sizes and capacities. Adjustable shelving and flexible compartments maximize usable space.
      The Adjustable Shelf offers seven height settings, while the combination of Adjustable and Retractable Shelves allows for tailored organization. Additional accessories, such as the Movable Bucket, My Box and Mini Door Basket, can be repositioned for convenient access or to free up space for other items.
      “LG’s new refrigerator lineup reflects a firm commitment to meaningful innovation, combining outstanding space and energy efficiency with designs that fit seamlessly into modern kitchens,” said Lyu Jae-cheol, president of the LG Home Appliance Solution Company. “We remain focused on developing user-centric technologies that enhance everyday convenience, simplify life at home and have less impact on the planet.”

      In today’s competitive world, having the freedom to create on your own terms is more important than ever. With that in mind, LG Taiwan recently introduced its latest IT lineup through a creative collaboration with renowned visual designer
      link hidden, please login to view – an initiative that celebrates the dynamic lifestyles of modern professionals.
      The showcase took place at a trendy café popular among freelancers, setting the perfect scene to demonstrate how LG’s technology fits seamlessly into both creative workflows and daily life.

      At the video editor’s station, LG highlighted high-performance tools designed for intense editing environments. The setup, resembling a professional post-production suite, featured the UltraGear OLED GX9 and the CineBeam S Ultra-Short Throw 4K Projector – demonstrating the depth, detail and precision of LG’s display technology.

      In contrast, the graphic designer’s space was bright, open and designed for maximum flexibility. With the LG gram Pro 2-in-1 and Smart Monitor Swing on display, this area showcased tools that offer creative professionals unmatched portability and versatility – ideal for capturing inspiration anytime, anywhere.

      Alongside the themed zones, guests explored a hands-on product and award showcase featuring the LG gram Pro 2-in-1, Smart Monitor Swing, CineBeam S and UltraGear OLED GX9. The display also spotlighted global honors from CES, Red Dot and iF Design Awards, reinforcing LG’s growing reputation as a leader in IT innovation.
      Opening the event, LG Taiwan Managing Director Jeong Yeon-kwan introduced the LG’s vision and philosophy of “Affectionate Intelligence” – an approach that puts people, emotions and usability at the center of technology. He emphasized LG’s commitment to creating solutions that don’t just perform, but connect with everyday human experiences.
      Designer Jyunccihli also took the stage to share how LG devices have helped elevate her creative process. From spontaneous sketching on the LG gram Pro to immersive design reviews on the LG Smart Monitor, she described how LG’s innovation continues to expand her artistic potential.

      Her newest trio of artworks – Spiral Nebula, Galactic Coordinates and Rotating Planet – draws inspiration from the cosmos and pairs with LG’s latest products: the LG gram, LG Smart Monitor, and CineBeam projector. Reflecting LG’s theme of “Light but Mighty,” the series fuses abstract celestial visuals with the spirit of innovation.
      “As with the universe, true lightness is not emptiness – it’s a hidden yet powerful force that upholds cosmic order,” says Jyunccihli. “To me, ‘lightness’ is a form of strength: intangible yet immeasurably profound, just like the universe itself.”

      To bring the creative energy to a wider audience, LG Taiwan launched the Creative Relay Challenge, encouraging the public to personalize designs using elements by Jyunccihli. Open to all, participants can use platforms like Instagram Stories to share their creations.
      Submissions are open through June 30, with selected entries eligible for exclusive prizes and the chance to be featured on LG Taiwan’s official platforms.
