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.

Is it really possible for a TV in a bright living room to re-create what you see in a dark theater? With LG’s 2025 OLED, that translation may now be closer than ever.
Over the past few years, LG has worked closely with Hollywood filmmakers to develop the ultimate display experience for cinematic viewing. As part of that initiative, the LG OLED Hollywood Roadshow, which debuted last year, made its second appearance in Los Angeles in May.

Held at Picture Shop, a high-profile post-production company on Sunset Boulevard, the event attracted filmmakers, colorists and cinematographers eager to explore how LG’s OLED technology, including the latest LG OLED evo AI G5(Link Embedded) model, translates creative intent to home viewing environments.
“As a cinematographer, I deeply appreciate the boosted brightness and richer, more nuanced blacks of the LG OLED evo AI G5. It’s incredibly satisfying,” cinematographer Rachel Morrison says of the LG OLED evo AI G5, which offers more than three times the peak brightness of standard OLED TVs while maintaining perfect blacks. (LG is the first manufacturer to receive Perfect Black verification from UL Solutions, a global authority in product testing and certification.) LG also earned the highest “perfect” grade from TÜV Rheinland for indoor lighting image quality certification — an evaluation that confirmed the display’s ability to maintain top-tier picture quality not only in dark settings, but also in bright indoor spaces (Certified models: 65-inch M5/G5/C5/B5).
Building on this commitment to consistent image quality across lighting environments, a major result of LG’s collaboration with Hollywood professionals is Ambient Light Compensation, designed to enhance filmmaker-mode accuracy. Since films are typically mastered in dark environments, but viewed in various lighting, this feature automatically adjusts brightness and color to preserve the filmmaker’s vision. The algorithm behind Ambient Light Compensation was designed in collaboration with two Hollywood veterans: colorist John Daro, known for his work on “Kimi” and “Contagion,” and Michael Smith, a technical consultant.

To calibrate HDR tone mapping for different lighting, Daro tested starting from a pitch-dark 5-nit baseline. “The goal was to ensure the image holds up, even in a sunlit room. Viewers shouldn’t have to dim the lights or close the blinds,” he says.
“Light sensors in the TV detect room brightness and the algorithm adjusts luminance accordingly,” Smith explains. “Whether it’s day or night, the content stays faithful to the filmmaker’s intent.”
Colorist Peter Doyle was also impressed. “Ambient Light Compensation is a game changer. It lets viewers experience the subtleties we labor over in a post-production facility, regardless of their lighting environment.”

As home viewing becomes the new norm, filmmakers are increasingly interested in display tech that preserves artistic integrity. Below is a recap of conversations with two filmmakers at the LG OLED Hollywood Roadshow.
How was your experience with LG OLED at the LG OLED Hollywood Roadshow?
It was great to see a panel that audiences will use in their own homes — up close and in action. LG OLED handles black levels and reflections impressively. The Ambient Light Compensation feature stood out, especially its responsiveness to lighting changes.

What feature of LG OLED do you think will most impact viewers?
The consistency of its blacks. In the “Harry Potter” series, for instance, many nighttime scenes are lit only by candlelight, with students dressed in black robes. In those cases, it’s no exaggeration to say the entire scene hinges on how black and shadows are rendered. Black isn’t just a background, it’s almost a character of its own. It grounds the frame and reveals nuance in the shadows. If a panel fails to express those subtleties, all the audience sees is a flat mass of darkness. There’s a saying: Everything comes down to black and shadow detail. And with LG OLED, the gradation of black, the softness and depth, is truly impressive.
What was your first impression of LG OLED Hollywood Roadshow?
The LG OLED evo AI G5 immediately stood out with its superior contrast and black levels. I was especially drawn to filmmaker mode, which aligns with how directors and DPs intend their work to be seen. And it disables motion smoothing, which is a nightmare for filmmakers.

Both “Black Panther” and “Mudbound” contain many dark scenes. What advantages do you think LG OLED offers when watching those films?
In “Black Panther,” the costumes feature layered textures and subtle differences in black tones. That complexity needs to come through without compromising skin tones. Displays like LG OLED preserve richness, detail, and accuracy within the blacks. In “Mudbound,” capturing the contrast between harsh daylight and moonlit nights was essential because I wanted to capture the stark contrast between what it meant to live in the American South as a white person versus a Black person. Without a display that expresses such nuance, much of the film’s meaning could be lost. LG OLED allows viewers to fully experience the world we built.
Peak brightness is 3X brighter than LG OLED B5 @10% window by Internal measurements. In November 2024, LG’s entire 2025 OLED lineup (based on display modules) received certification from UL (certification number V183632) for achieving black levels below 0.24 nits in environments up to 500 lux. Actual performance may vary depending on viewing conditions Ready to see movies the way directors intended — with every shadow, color and detail?

Experience a Captivating Fusion of Art and Technology as Steven Harrington’s
Whimsical Pop Art Comes to Life on LG’s Most Advanced TVs for 2025
SEOUL, May 7, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG) is partnering with iconic psychedelic pop artist and LA 2028 Olympics logo designer Steven Harrington at Frieze New York 2025 for the “Steven Harrington X LG OLED: Stop to Smell the Flowers” exhibition, showcasing the artist’s dynamically vivid artwork on LG’s latest and most premium OLED TVs. This collaboration highlights the visual excellence and vibrant colors of LG’s newest OLED lineup, including the transparent LG SIGNATURE OLED T – bringing the kinetic energy of Harrington’s California-inspired work to life for a truly immersive digital art experience.
Known for his vibrant and immersive psychedelic pop art, Harrington joins forces with LG to demonstrate the strengths of OLED technology, including perfect blacks and vivid colors.* Harrington chose LG OLED as his digital canvas, citing the display’s ability to faithfully capture his artistic vision through exceptional color reproduction and design innovation. Together, they have created a whimsical exhibition at Frieze, highlighting the unique qualities of both the artist’s work and LG’s technology.
Visitors to the exhibition will meet Mello, one of Harrington’s signature characters who embodies the joy of everyday moments and creativity – brought to life on the advanced LG SIGNATURE OLED T transparent TV. Mello playfully waves to the audience against an opaque floral backdrop. As he invites the audience to come closer, the flowers fall away, revealing a transparent screen where they can step behind to take a picture with Mello. This dynamic transition between opaque and transparent screens offers a surreal, AR-like experience for exhibition-goers.
Set against a muted black and grey background, LG OLED screens amplify the brilliance of Harrington’s vibrant imagery. The exhibition features the new LG OLED evo M5 and G5 models, along with the LG StanbyME 2 TVs – all displaying Harrington’s colorful works, with Mello seamlessly moving in and out of the screens. The M5 highlights its wireless capabilities for a clutter-free setup, while the G5 boasts its exceptional self-lit technology for stunning visuals with deep blacks. The soon-to-be-launched StanbyME 2 is one of the most versatile portable lifestyle TVs, adaptable for various settings – whether wall-mounted, propped up or placed on a stand.
“This collaboration has opened up new avenues in my art as I got to be one of the first artists to work with the LG OLED transparent TV,” said Harrington.
“LG’s OLED TV is the ultimate digital canvas, delivering rich blacks and maximizing depth and realism with precise color expression,” said Kate Oh, vice president of experiential marketing at LG Electronics. “We are excited to collaborate with bold artists like Steven Harrington, whose unique style aligns perfectly with LG OLED’s mission to inspire art and connect people through innovative digital experiences.”
Visitors to Frieze New York 2025 can experience LG’s latest OLED TVs and Harrington’s artwork from May 7 to 11 at The Shed.
Recognized by artists worldwide as the ultimate digital canvas, LG OLED continues to merge cutting-edge technology with contemporary art through various cultural initiatives.

LG has recently embarked on a global brand refresh, redefining its iconic Life’s Good tagline for a new generation. This vision is being extended to LG in Australia and New Zealand (LGANZ), where the company is embracing its global ESG strategy under the theme: A Better Life for All.
Grounded in the belief that Life’s Good when we Do Good, LG has committed to six Do Good missions. These span from achieving carbon neutrality in its operations to designing inclusive products that can be enjoyed by everyone, regardless of their abilities. Together, these efforts reinforce LG’s mission to create meaningful connections and empower individuals to make a difference.
Recognizing that creating meaningful change is a group effort, LGANZ partnered with Taronga Conservation Society Australia, combining technological innovation with conservation expertise to drive impact. The partnership represents a shared vision to amplify positive impact and inspire others to join the movement. It’s about making doing good a daily habit, proving that small actions can drive significant change, with everyone playing a part in creating a better life for all.
As part of the partnership, LG is the first-ever presenting partner of Taronga’s Hatch Accelerator Program, the world’s only zoo-led startup incubator. Supported by LG, Hatch reimagines what’s possible in conservation innovation through a 14-week program designed to help ecopreneurs tackle some of the planet’s most critical environmental and conservation challenges. The 2025 Hatch cohort, accelerated by LG, will participate in masterclasses, workshops, and receive mentorship from Taronga and LG’s extensive networks. Participants will also gain investor training and pitch readiness, equipping them to bring their visionary solutions to life.
To bring this mission closer to home, LG hosted its 2024 Reinvent Day for its Australia and New Zealand teams – a dynamic brand immersion event streamed live from LGANZ’s NSW office in Parramatta to offices across the country and across the ditch in Auckland, New Zealand. The event was designed to educate and inspire employees, providing a deeper understanding of LG’s global ESG strategy and its alignment with local initiatives.
Employees were introduced to the partnership with Taronga Conservation Society Australia through various activities, including an inspiring panel discussion with wildlife activist Tyson Mayr, LGANZ leaders Gemma Lemieux and Louise Annetts, Hatch Program Director Christie Gazal and Taronga’s Education Director Paul Maguire. Together, they explored how purposeful choices and collective action can drive meaningful change, reinforcing the idea that doing good enriches both the planet and our own wellbeing.
Beyond education, LG encouraged employees to take action through various initiatives. This included the announcement of an upcoming volunteer beach clean-up with Taronga Zoo, the opportunity to “e-Dopt” a Taronga Zoo animal, while LG donated AUD 10,000 to support Taronga’s Red Panda conservation efforts, exemplifying LG’s commitment to doing good. LG also launched its internal LG Lifestylers program, encouraging employees to become brand advocates and share how LG’s innovations and initiatives are creating joy and meaningful moments in their own lives.
Yet, this is not a new direction for LGANZ. For years, it has demonstrated a commitment to making a difference through initiatives like the LG Local Legends Program and disaster relief efforts, donating over AUD 1.7 million to communities in need. The partnership with Taronga Conservation Society Australia represents the next step in LG’s journey, demonstrating how even small actions can create a ripple effect and empower people to contribute to a better future.
By embodying the principle that Life’s Good when we Do Good, LG invites customers, employees and partners to join a movement that goes beyond products. Together, LGANZ and Taronga Conservation Society Australia are shaping a future, rooted in optimism, sustainability and positive impact.
Let’s make life better, one action at a time. To find out more about the LGANZ and Taronga Conservation Society Australia partnership, please visit:
