My webos tv (approx 10 yrs old) just went black. When I turn it on it flicks and I see the LG logo briefly and it goes off.
The red indicator light flashes a few times and turns off.
I’ve tried unplugging the TV for 10 min after holding the TV power button for 30 seconds. I’ve also unplugged all hdmi cables to no avail.

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

I recently updated the firmware on my LG43UH610V. Now I constantly get "Wired Lan cable disconnected" / "Wired network is connected" messages even while watching a video file from my NAS. The TV is connected and using the network while getting these messages. It has always been on a fixed IP address on the LAN.

Title says it all. Install a new 50 inch LG tv. For every app and App Store it displays that message. I have a great network and the TV is approx 30 feet from the wifi router. It will play TV (not sure if that is coming over the air) and the phone app sees and can control the TV but not one app will work?
Any ideas or just return it?
Thanks

In this interview, we delve into the creative process of Fred Scott, the London-based BAFTA-winning filmmaker, as he brings LG’s “Radio Optimism” campaign to life. This campaign aims to strengthen meaningful human connections in a world dominated by superficial interactions on social media.
What does it mean to genuinely connect in a hyper-connected era, where people paradoxically feel more disconnected than ever? To strengthen meaningful human connections in a world dominated by superficial interactions on social media, LG launched a new brand campaign called “Radio Optimism” last month, expanding its “Life’s Good” philosophy into the digital space through shared musical experiences.
To create the brand film for the campaign, LG collaborated with Fred Scott, a London-based BAFTA-winning filmmaker known for “London Bridge: Facing Terror.” With a foundation of emotionally grounded, human-centered storytelling, Scott brought his unique creative lens to the project and crafted a short documentary film that highlights the power of music to bridge even the widest emotional and physical distances.
In this piece, we delve into Scott’s creative process – tracing how he creatively brought the message of “Connecting the Disconnected” to life for the campaign through his distinctive storytelling.
What do you value most as a filmmaker and a creator? What drives your creative process?
Authenticity (obviously), intimacy and a clear sense of openness and trust is what I am always seeking when making a film. I believe in the power of narrative to foster empathy and build shared understanding. How can I connect with audiences without authenticity or real people?
Whenever I start a project, I actively seek out genuine individuals and stories, whether a reclusive filmmaker reflecting on their art or people searching for redemption after a traumatic event. My aim as a creator is to bring these stories to life authentically – in an environment where the subjects feel protected and supported.
What did you think when you first heard about “Radio Optimism?” Was there something about the idea that resonated with you creatively or personally?
The concept of togetherness and connection in the Radio Optimism campaign resonated with me, especially as we live in a world where we’re supposedly never more connected – yet we can often feel disconnected.
Through this campaign, LG is bridging the gap between technology and emotional connection in a powerful, effective and, most importantly, genuine way. It makes those who feel disconnected feel part of a community.
What also stood out was the longevity of the platform. It’s not just a fleeting story but a campaign that could grow into a movement. Through the universal language of music, Radio Optimism has the power to be inclusive, creating something that anyone around the world can contribute to.
How did you choose the subject for the film?
Finding the right person with an inspiring story to tell and who lives or works for periods away in a remote location was no mean feat. However, when we found Ann Eileen, everything just clicked into place, and I knew she encapsulated everything I wanted the brand film to live and breathe.
She truly is the beacon of the film. She’s effervescent, relatable, approachable and deeply inspiring. She has sacrificed a lot to pursue her passion in her field of research to protect the planet but at the cost of spending more than three months away from her family. Yet, despite the time apart, they’ve found ways to connect, and it’s truly inspiring to see how Ann Eileen’s values and ethics can be witnessed in her children.
Through the film, I wanted to capture this genuine, nurturing and intimate feeling of Ann’s family life and highlight the power of meaningful connections.
Tell us more about your creative process for the short documentary film?
For this project, my approach leaned into a documentary style with a particular eye on scale, juxtaposing the intimacy of Ann Eileen’s family life with the epic, remote and expansive landscape around her.
I wanted to find moments of genuine, emotional connection within a story of isolation while keeping the tone soulful rather than sugary.
The cinematography was designed to feel authentic and beautiful, highlighting both the uniqueness of the setting and the realism of the experience. The story’s authenticity is key to connecting with the audience. Inauthenticity breaks that bond.
How do you stay connected with your family when you are divided by distance?
Staying connected with my family while away has always been important to me. I use video calls, voice notes and sometimes even analogue ways, such as leaving notes. Whilst technology offers us ways to communicate, leaving notes is a very personal way of sharing emotional connection.
I’m fortunate to be a parent, and if I were to make a song using the Radio Optimism platform, I’d make one for my four-year-old son. He is obsessed with the saxophone and discovering language, so this would be a fun way to capture this precious moment of his childhood.
What do you want audiences to feel when they watch the Radio Optimism documentary film?
I hope the authenticity of the film resonates with people. Ann Eileen’s life may be unique, but the emotions and relationships at the heart of it are something we all recognize.
I’d love for the film to encourage people to keep communicating and strengthen their relationships, especially in a world where it’s easy to drift apart.
Sometimes, we need a little nudge to make a phone call or create something for someone we care about—I want this film to feel like that nudge.
I also want the audience to see the joy and emotional power of creating a personalized song, even if it’s about something silly and every day like embarrassing knitwear.
What are your reflections on the production and what does “Life’s Good” mean to you?
The whole process was incredibly satisfying because it felt genuine, collaborative and driven by a shared purpose to put something meaningful into the world.
I feel the film captured the kind of optimism and authenticity we hoped to share with audiences.
To me, “Life’s Good” means having purpose, hope and shared experiences. I feel fortunate that my work allows me to support others and tell stories that matter.

Question
Carolyn Steinberg
For the past few months I am getting intermittent pop up messages on my TV.
1st one says Wired LAN disconnected, then another message pops up and says Network connected. I have been calling my cable carrier Spectrum and Techs have been here and can't find problem. Also I went to check my wifi on my TV and my user name and connections aren't showing up all of a sudden. This TV was just purchased May 2017. What is going on and how to resolve!!
