Imagine walking into your dream home where every appliance is top-of-the-line LG, but without the hefty upfront costs. That’s exactly what LG is making possible in Taiwan as it becomes the first major brand to launch a home appliance rental and care service in the market.
Last October, LG Taiwan unveiled its groundbreaking home appliance rental and care service at Taipei’s Chalet V, showcasing a fresh approach to modern living. The thoughtfully designed venue brought the concept to life through curated living spaces that demonstrated how premium appliances can enhance daily routines without demanding significant upfront investment.
Visitors experienced firsthand the practical benefits of LG’s rental program through an immersive showcase featuring fully-equipped living rooms, kitchens and laundry spaces. The demonstration areas highlighted how renting a complete suite of LG appliances can both upgrade living standards and provide smart financial flexibility for homeowners and renters alike.
Live product demonstrations revealed the real-world advantages of the service, while LG’s professional technicians explained the comprehensive benefits package – including full warranty coverage and scheduled maintenance visits. This hands-on approach gave visitors a clear picture of how the rental service combines premium appliance access with peace of mind through professional support.
The venue featured a home-like showcase area with themed spaces, including living rooms, kitchens and laundry rooms, demonstrating how renting a full suite of LG appliances can significantly reduce expenses while upgrading daily living experiences.
Enhancing the service’s accessibility, LG Taiwan also announced strategic partnerships with key industry leaders, such as Sinyi Realty’s Ecosystem Lead and Taishin Bank. Industry experts and retail leaders gathered to discuss the program’s market impact, including representatives from 486 Shop and SENAO International, alongside financial news anchor Liu Hanchu. The discussion highlighted how this innovative rental model represents a significant shift in consumer access to premium home appliances, offering both financial flexibility and lifestyle enhancement opportunities.
The launch has already generated substantial interest across Taiwan’s home appliance sector, with market analysts noting its potential to reshape industry standards. This pioneering service model could set new benchmarks for consumer accessibility in the home appliance market, reflecting LG’s commitment to innovative solutions that meet evolving consumer needs.

The international content on JioCinema and Hotstar apps are not playing. No issues with Indian content in Hindi or other regional languages. But English, Korean, and Japanese content are not playing. Specifically, I want to play Disney content on Hotstar and HBO content on JioCinema App.
I tried resetting all configurations and reinstalling the applications and re-logging into the apps. Still, the issue persists. I tried switching off the TV and tried pressing the power button for complete discharge and rebooting my router, but the same issue persists.
**I found a workaround though, changing the wifi network or using a mobile hotspot on TV and then all content plays well even if I revert to my primary Airtel wifi, It still plays. but the next day the same issue continues.
It's an overhead to switch the wifi every time I want to watch Hollywood titles. Certainly, it's not the experience I want with a TV of a hefty price tag. No other devices (Mac, ios, android, windows, Android TV) have this problem. Also, it's not the wifi issue, as I can watch the same titles on other devices. The LG TV also doesn't have the capability to remember a few WiFi networks to ease this workaround of switching networks.
Alas, Nobody informed me about this issue earlier while making the purchase. Now such pricey TVs shouldn't have these issues at all. Kindly let me know If there is a permanent fix for this issue.
