In a groundbreaking step toward redefining its audio experience, LG officially launched its highly anticipated LG “xboom by will.i.am” audio lineup in the United States on April 14. To celebrate the occasion, LG welcomed multi-platinum artist, tech innovator, and Founder and CEO of FYI.AI, will.i.am to its North American headquarters for the first time. The visit marked not just a product debut, but the beginning of a new era for LG’s xboom brand, one infused with artistic vision and cutting-edge sound crafted in collaboration with will.i.am himself.
will.i.am ascended the iconic “Life’s Good” stairs at the North American Headquarters and began his day meeting with Jung Kyu-hwang, CEO of LG Electronics North America, to discuss their shared enthusiasm for the partnership and the future of the xboom brand.
will.i.am signed 50 exclusive posters featuring him alongside the LG xboom Grab, one of the standout speakers in the new lineup. He also took time to sign branded notecards for LG employees and special guests, adding a thoughtful touch to the day. The LG audio team surprised him in return with a swag bag filled with every product in the new xboom lineup, complete with a custom “xboom by will.i.am” luggage tag – a small nod to the collaboration’s unique fusion of tech and style.
The special day, consisting of media, marketing and employee engagement activities, kicked off with a private Q&A session followed by in-depth demos, attended by media and influencers, and hosted by Aaron Westbrook, LG’s head of Audio Marketing. The two discussed how the LG “xboom by will.i.am” partnership came about, what fuels and inspires his creativity, and where his passion for artificial intelligence and technology originated. will.i.am also demoed RAiDiO.FYI on his LG xboom Grab speaker, opening up a conversation between himself and an AI persona named Fyin.
The hands-on demo session generated many “wow” moments. Phones were out and cameras rolled as the xboom speakers endured a series of durability tests, including being buried in sand and submerged in water, showing impressive results. Jack Kiledjian and Scott Cohen from LG’s Customer Value Enablement team also ran blind sound tests against competitor products, allowing attendees to compare and hear the superior performance of the LG “xboom by will.i.am” speakers without bias.
In a surprise appearance at the LG cafeteria, will.i.am stepped in as emcee for an “xboom by will.i.am” product raffle. Winners took home a variety of items from the new audio lineup, along with signed will.i.am posters, turning an ordinary lunch into an unforgettable moment.
Keeping the energy going, will.i.am headed to LG’s state-of-the-art Virtual Studio to film an unboxing video alongside Speedy Morman, well-known influencer and host of “360 with Speedy.” The video blended entertainment, tech, and content creation into a fun and engaging showcase of the entire new LG xboom lineup.
To cap off the eventful day, LG and will.i.am hosted a private meet-and-greet with randomly selected employees. Each winner received a professional photo with will.i.am and a signed commemorative poster. Employees were encouraged to share their snapshots on social media to spread the excitement and amplify the launch buzz beyond the LG campus.
This special day was a celebration of collaboration, creativity and community. Through his visit, will.i.am helped foster a deeper connection between the media, influencers, LG U.S. employees and the new xboom lineup, giving them a front-row seat to the innovation behind the brand’s new sound identity.

Hello, after the last update of WebOS (6.5.0.-24) there is different behavior of returning back to previous input on my TV. When I was watching a Live TV and opened an app like Youtube, after closing it (holding the return button) it used to return to Live TV. The same with HDMI input, when I was playing on Playstation and the opened an app, after closing it it returned back to PS. Now after the update, it always go to the Home Screen when the app is closed. I only found in setting to return to last input when turning the TV on instead of Home Screen, but didn't find the same for the behavior after closing an app. Is there a way to fix it?
Thanks

I have recently purchased an LG 55QNED86 television. I am located in Iran. Everything seems to be working fine, but when I click on any of the options, it tells me I must first consent to the LG Smart TV user agreement. However, I then get a message saying "Unable to load user agreements - a server error has occurred ......"
Can you help?

webOS updated, I think to 2023, on my C2 a couple of days ago. Since then the News option on the Sky News app no longer works, instead timing out. The Weather and Climate options still work, though.
I have deleted and reloaded the Sky News app, but the problem remains.
Does anybody have any suggestions of what I might try to get this working again, or is this something for LG, or Sky, to fix?

I remember when I first bought the TV in Nov '23, it would switch into PC mode (setting the HDMI input to PC) automatically when first connecting my RTX 4090 PC. This behaviour was fine as the TV was indeed being used for PC Gaming.
On my RTX 3050 HTPC I could disable PC mode by changing the input back to HDMI1. This would restore all picture settings options. This change would persist until the HDMI cable was physically disconnected/reconnected. Again, this behaviour was fine for my HTPC where I preferred having access to all the picture settings options vs 444 passthrough.
Now PC mode is reactivated after every Cold Boot (Shutdown > Power On) but not from Warm Boot (Restart).
It is a 'silent' PC mode as the input label does not change back to PC, however the same picture settings are greyed out like in PC mode. Switching the Input label from HDMI1 to another non-PC type disables PC mode again and restores the full picture settings.
I was using the RTX 3050 in my HTPC for a few months after I purchased the TV and did not experience this issue. After a few months I switched to the RX 7600 and continued to not experience this issue. I recently tried going back to the Intel iGPU on the HTPC and discovered this issue. I thought it might be an intel bug, so I reinstalled the RTX 3050 and found the issue again. I've gone back to the RX 7600 as it does not suffer this issue.
I have Game Optimizer options disabled (VRR, Freesync, ALLM), 444 Passthrough Disabled, QMS Disabled.
Intel and Nvidia GPU options tried:
Change output from RGB to YCBCR = no effect
Disable "Text Content Processing" on intel = no effect
Change "Content type reported" on Nvidia = no effect (Movie does activate film maker mode)
Testing performed on Win11 24H2, however also experienced the issue when testing LibreElec(Linux Distro for Kodi) on the intel iGPUs (didn't test Nvidia in LibreElec as unsupported).
Affected GPUs: UHD Graphics 730 on Intel i5-11400 and i3-12100, Nvidia RTX 3050
Unaffected GPUs: AMD RX 7600, Nvidia GT 1030
I've noticed that on the RX 7600 and GT 1030 the SPD Info Frame are blank/Unknown.
While on the UHD 730 - Product Description: PC, Vendor Name: Intel, Source Info: PC
and the RTX 3050 - Product Description: GeForce RTX 3050, Vendor Name: NVIDIA, Source Info: PC
