      I have an LG OLED TV 2024, and the remote does not have a FAV button. I have saved some favorite OTA channels through the Channel Manager, but I don't know how to access them without a FAV button. Can someone help me with this?

      i am having an issue with my LG OLED77C2 tv that started happening (i believe) once i have updated from web24 to 25. It seems like whenever the tv is displaying a source from any of my four HDMI inputs, while i am watching the screen goes black randomly for a few seconds and it loses audio as well during the black screen. Once this happens the audio usually comes back as soon as the image does, however not always. The audio might dissapear completely. In order to fix that i might need to power cycle the tv or unplug the hdmi input out, wait a little and then plug back in. Moreover, sometimes when the black screen flash happens it cripples most of my native apps on the tv. So if i switch to netflix or youtube right after the black screen flash, both apps populate normally all the video/film options in the main menu but when i try to actually play any of the video/films, they dont play and it is throwing an error. These black flashes never happen when i am watching netflix or youtube. Only when using my hdmi inputs. ive changed brand new high quality cables but that did not fix my issue. For the xbox i was already suing an ultra hish speed 2.1 hdmi cable but ive re placed that as well with a brand new one. ive also changed the tvs main board to a brand new and it still happening. Once the dealer changed the board, the tv was behaving normally without the issue. However after a few days i updated the tv to the latest firmware and this started happening. what do i do? 
      FYI: I tried EVERY SINGLE option to troubleshoot the issue. Disabled VRR, AMD Freesync, ALLM, HDMI Deep Colour, SIMPLINK, I basically set my tv to display video and audio in the most archaic way just to troubleshoot. Still doing it. I am using an xbox series x on input 1 and a mag520 box on input 3. Does it on both sources. Moreover, in case this helps whenever this happens while on the xbox the Dolby vision/HDR logo appears on the top right right after the video comes back once the black screen is over depending on what settings i have the xbox on. Also swapped to different inputs. Still doing it

      When in an app, hitting home on the remote doesn't do anything. I was looking to see if there's a webOS update available, and now I see trying to open settings locks it all up. The only way to get out of an app right now or get it out of the state where trying settings locks it up is to power off and back on again.
      Things I've tried:
      1. Restart. I've tried various ways including unplugging and holding the power button on the TV for a while. I left it unplugged all night.
      2. Repair of the remote. 
      I don't know what else to try as I can't even get into settings to see if there's an update to fix this mess. Any thoughts?

      LG OLED TV’s Perfect Blacks & Perfect Colors Capture the Master’s Vibrant Palette
      LG Brings the Frieze Art-viewing Experience to the Home With LG Gallery+

      SEOUL, Sep. 3, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG) presents “Park Seo‑Bo x LG OLED TV: Colors Drawn from Nature” at Frieze Seoul 2025 (September 3–6), marking the company’s fourth year as Headline Partner. In collaboration with the PARKSEOBO FOUNDATION, LG OLED TV celebrates one of Korea’s most revered contemporary artists by faithfully expressing his distinctive color philosophy through the unmatched precision of LG’s self-lit OLED technology. Starting this year, LG also expands the Frieze art fair experience to LG TV owners through LG Gallery+, a personal curation service that allows users to display artwork on their TV screens like an at-home gallery.
      A Master of Nature’s Colors Reimagined by LG OLED TV
      The “Park Seo‑Bo X LG OLED TV: Colors Drawn from Nature” exhibition showcases Park Seo-Bo’s nature-inspired colors on a digital canvas. It flows from his meditative black and white colors – black drawn from the soot of an old kitchen hearth, white evoked from the stillness and quiet of Korean hanji – to vibrant colors borrowed from nature – the yellow of Jeju’s canola, the pink of azalea, the green of spring leaves and the deep orange of ripe persimmon. With self-lit pixels and perfect blacks, LG OLED TVs capture the quiet depth and nuance of Park Seo-Bo’s work to bring his meditative colors to life in their truest form.
      “Park Seo-Bo believed that nature speaks in colors beyond words,” said Park Seung-ho, chairperson of the PARKSEOBO FOUNDATION and son of the artist. “This exhibition offers a new perspective on his works, inviting viewers not merely to observe, but to engage more deeply as participants in the experience.”
      At the center of the exhibition, a T-shaped installation featuring LG’s latest OLED evo G5 and M5 TVs presents a digitally reimagined artwork by Je Baak, art professor at Seoul National University. This digitalized artwork celebrates the pivotal moment for Park Seo-Bo when a walk under the overwhelmingly red autumn leaves struck him as both awe-inspiring and healing. In efforts to share the master’s enlightenment through nature’s breathtaking colors, Baak collaborated with AI to collect the different hues of autumn-leaf red found in captured moments by people all around the world. The result is a monument of shared visual experience that encapsulates autumn leaves seen through the eyes of everyone and the artist himself.
      Bringing Frieze and Park Seo-Bo’s Artwork to the Home
      LG is bringing the Frieze art fair experience into the homes of art enthusiasts through its new LG Gallery+ app on the LG webOS platform. More than 100 select artworks from Frieze Seoul including works by Park Seo-Bo will be available for free viewing on LG Gallery+ for a certain time after the fair. LG TV owners who could not experience Frieze Seoul first-hand can now enjoy a seamless and extended viewing experience in the form of a home gallery with LG Gallery+.
      “We hope LG OLED, with its ability to render deep blacks and vibrant colors with exceptional accuracy, honors the legacy of Park Seo-Bo’s colors borrowed from nature,” said Kate Oh, head of Experiential Marketing at the LG Media Entertainment Solution Company. “By collaborating with world-renowned art partners such as Frieze, the Guggenheim and MMCA, LG OLED continues to create new value in art marketing, expanding the intersection of art and technology in major cities around the world including Seoul, London, New York and LA.”
      LG OLED TVs continue to champion artists and cultural institutions at the intersection of art and technology, creating new ways to experience creativity in the digital age. Discover more about LG’s global art collaborations at

      Company Forms Community of Cooperation to Conduct
      Comprehensive Research into HVAC Solutions for Tropical Regions

      SEOUL, July 7, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG), King Saud University (KSU), Pusan National University (PNU) and Shaker Group (Shaker) met and discussed the aspects of joint cooperation in the academic and research fields including the establishment of a tropical test site for heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) solutions in Saudi Arabia. Working together with Shaker – the Saudi Arabian market leader in HVAC – and its university partners, LG aims to drive the development of innovative temperature control systems for tropical climates.
      In 2024, under the auspices of the Consortium for Advanced Heat Pump Research (CAHR), LG opened labs in the United States, Europe and China to create and test cold-climate heat pump technologies. The planned Saudia Arabian laboratory will be the company’s first facility dedicated to accelerating HVAC solutions for regions with tropical climates. Findings from the research conducted at the new lab will be presented to the relevant regional academic societies by KSU and PNU. The results of research projects undertaken at the consortium’s Alaska-based lab were shared at AHR Expo 2025 in Orlando, Florida, earlier this year.
      At the Saudia Arabian test facility, LG aims to collect valuable “real-world” data by operating and assessing a variety of solutions tailored for tropical conditions. Each participating party will have specific duties to perform. KSU, one of the Middle East’s most renowned universities, will provide a suitable test site environment and, in collaboration with PNU, take responsibility for conducting studies and analyzing data. LG and PNU already have a strong relationship and have been working together in South Korea to research core HVAC technologies, such as high-efficiency heat exchangers. Shaker, a trusted partner to LG for many years, will offer its invaluable support via system installation and device setup monitoring.
      Once operational, the new facility will be used to thoroughly examine the performance and reliability of LG’s upcoming HVAC products, including the Multi V– an intelligent variable refrigerant flow (VRF) solution designed specifically to handle hot temperatures – and various wall-mounted residential air conditioners. LG is diligently working to develop these HVAC products and aims to complete them in the near future. Additionally, the company plans to utilize the site for testing AI engine features tailored to tropical climates.
      “This exciting new collaboration will help LG to further its leadership in HVAC innovations designed for tropical climates,” said Jin Sim-won, head of Advanced R&D Division at the LG ES Company. “The data and insights we gain from the tropical region will help us deliver more efficient, intelligent and reliable solutions tailored to the world’s hotter regions.”
