Hello, I have searched everywhere but it seems I am the only one facing this strange problem .... when I need to use whatsoever function like simply lower the volume or changing a channel the control works but the appairing webos, instead of showing the volume bar or the channell list, makes strange coloured patterns or flickering for few seconds, then it disappear and the tv goes on working with no issues; you may imagine that, apart using intuitive controls like volume or zapping channesl, it is impossible to get more settings because the list won't be visible on the screen .... any ideas ?

In just the past couple years, the that’s been dominated by Samsung’s The Frame has seen growth, with additions from both TCL and Hisense. Now LG has announced its own entry, the LG Gallery TV. The TV will leverage the Gallery+ service that LG released earlier this year, which includes thousands of display visuals ranging from pieces of art to cinematic images to gaming scenes. Much like Samsung’s Art Store, Gallery+ has a limited free option, but its full capability requires a subscription.
The new Gallery TV shouldn’t be confused with the G Series OLED TVs, like the , even though the G Series used to be called the Gallery Series up until a couple years ago. The Gallery TV is a mini-LED TV with “a specialized screen that reduces glare and minimizes reflections for an art-like viewing experience” (so it likely has a matte coating). LG hasn’t specified the backlight configuration, but all of the other art TVs use edge lighting, so it’s a safe bet that this one will as well. OLED technology, while offering superior picture quality to mini LED, isn’t able to display a single image for an extended time without concern of image retention (or burn-in).
LG has taken a cue from Hisense and includes a frame with the Gallery TV. The default frame is white, with the option to purchase an additional wood-colored frame. The TV will be available in 55 and 65 inches, but pricing has yet to be released.

Lyu Jae-cheol Appointed as New CEO to
Strengthen Fundamental Competitiveness of Core Businesses
SEOUL, Nov. 27, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG) today announced that Lyu Jae-cheol will assume the role of Chief Executive Officer, effective December 1. Mr. Lyu has successfully led the LG Home Appliance Solution (HS) Company, driving sustainable growth through expanded B2B operations, subscription-based and direct-to-consumer (D2C) business models, and continued competitive leadership based on LG’s core strengths in home appliances.
As CEO, Mr. Lyu will focus on expanding LG’s market-leading DNA in home appliances – built on delivering differentiated customer value – across the entire organization, further enhancing the company’s fundamental competitiveness and growth potential.
Mr. Lyu joined Goldstar (now LG Electronics) in 1989 as a researcher in the Home Appliance Research Center and has spent nearly half of his career in home appliance R&D, building deep technical expertise that has shaped his leadership approach. Since 2021, he has served as head of the H&A (now HS) Company, leading LG to become the global No. 1 home appliance brand.
Despite delayed recovery in consumer sentiment and intensifying market competition, he strengthened the leadership of flagship products while laying the groundwork for sustainable growth through continuous R&D. He also expanded HS Company’s business portfolio by advancing appliance subscription services, online channel growth and B2B business areas such as built-in appliances and component solutions.
Leadership Transition
William Cho will step down to support a healthy leadership transition after laying a strong foundation for sustainable growth during his four-year tenure as CEO.
Mr. Cho, who joined LG in 1987 and has dedicated 37 years to the company, expanded LG’s business beyond home appliances into sectors such as mobility and commercial spaces and established a mid- to long-term vision to transform LG into a Smart Life Solution Company that connects and extends customer experience across diverse spaces. His strategic direction prioritized performance in core businesses; growth in B2B, non-hardware and D2C areas; expansion into high-potential Global South markets; and exploration of new business domains – each becoming key milestones in LG’s future growth strategy.
To further accelerate growth of LG’s two key B2B pillars – vehicle solutions and heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) – the company has promoted Eun Seok-hyun, head of the Vehicle Solution (VS) Company, and James Lee, head of the Eco Solution (ES) Company, to president.
Kwack Do-yeong, who brings extensive experience in sales and strategy at the HS Company and a deep understanding of global markets, has been appointed Region Representative of LG Electronics North America and head of LG Electronics USA.
2026 Organizational Restructure
This year’s organizational changes focus on enhancing efficiency to build a more agile decision-making structure capable of responding to rapid external shifts, while reinforcing selective and focused operations to accelerate LG’s mid- to long-term portfolio strategy.
LG will maintain its existing four-Company structure, ensuring fast and accountable decision-making at the Company level. Similar and adjacent functions across business organizations will be integrated to streamline operations and improve execution efficiency.
With Mr. Lyu’s appointment as CEO, executive vice president Baek Seung-tae, previously head of the Kitchen Solutions Business, will assume leadership of the HS Company. Baek has strengthened global appliance competitiveness through roles leading both the Living Solutions and Kitchen Solutions Business and is well positioned to advance global production strategies under changing market conditions. The heads of the Media Entertainment Solution (MS), VS and ES Companies will remain in their roles to ensure continuity and strategic momentum.
Strengthening Growth Foundations for Future-oriented and High-potential Businesses
In parallel with organizational efficiency, LG is establishing new engines to accelerate high-potential business domains including HVAC, webOS and robotics.
The HS Company will establish the HS B2B Overseas Sales Division to grow global built-in and builder-focused business, and elevate the Built-in/Cooking Business Division to a Business. The HS Robotics Lab will be newly created, integrating select functions from the Chief Technology Office’s Advanced Robotics Lab. Research Fellow Lee Jae-wook, who led the Humanoid Robot Task, will head the lab. The MS Company will integrate its TV and IT Businesses into a single Display Business, and establish a Display Product Development Group to strengthen product competitiveness. The webOS Advertisement Business Department will be elevated to a Business to strengthen support for the expansion of webOS-based service operations The ES Company will establish a new Applied Business Division focused on HVAC solutions for data center cooling, ventilation, refrigeration and nuclear power, while launching the ES M&A Division and ES Overseas Sales Division to support localized, end-to-end overseas operations. Within the Chief Technology Office, a new HS Advanced Research Lab will enhance fundamental technology competitiveness, and a Next-Generation Computing Lab will be established to strengthen leadership in emerging technologies such as quantum and distributed computing and next-generation security. To drive companywide AI transformation, the existing DX Center and Business Process Innovation Division will be integrated into a new organization, the AX Center. Under the leadership of senior vice president Cho Jung-bum, former head of the DX Center, the AX Center will spearhead efforts to accelerate AI adoption, enhance operational efficiency, advance R&D and strengthen employee capabilities. All appointments and structural changes take effect December 1, 2025, with promotions effective January 1, 2026.

I've update 2 of my LG Digital signage TVs (Model 65UH5J-HP) to the latest firmware (3.74.00). Before updating I was able to access the admin menu using "000000" as the default PWD. After updating, I am no longer able to use that default password to access the admin menu. It's giving me a message saying "Incorrect password (Same number repeated). Please try again"
I tried to usual suspects:
123456
654321
111111
666666
No bueno - anyone got any insights? LG corporate support was unable to help either.

Company Reinforces Design Leadership With Total of 100 Accolades
Across This Year’s Red Dot, iF and IDEA Awards
SEOUL, Sep. 19, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG) has again earned global recognition for its design innovations, this year receiving a total of 100 awards from the world’s three most prestigious design competitions: the Red Dot Design Award, the iF Design Award and the International Design Excellence Awards (IDEA).
LG recently added to its already considerable success at the 2025 Red Dot Design Award by taking home 12 honors in the Brands & Communication Design category. The company was recognized for the exceptional user experience (UX) design of its LG ThinQ smart home platform and webOS smart TV platform, and for the design of the FURON symbol, which conveys the warmth and care delivered by LG’s “empathetic intelligence” agent.
The Red Dot Design Award annually acknowledges outstanding achievements across three distinct categories: Product Design, Design Concept and Brands & Communication Design. The Brands & Communication category highlights new innovations that provide outstanding user convenience and excellent efficiency.
Earlier this year, LG was recognized in the Red Dot Award’s Product Design and Design Concept categories, receiving the prestigious Best of the Best accolade. In the Product Design category, the company received 35 awards for a wide range of products, including refrigerators, washing machines, dryers, TVs, air conditioners, air purifiers, audio solutions, monitors and commercial robots. In the Design Concept category, My Taste Company, an in-house venture of LG, earned the Best of the Best accolade for DUOBO, a capsule coffee machine featuring innovative technologies for convenient and personalized coffee brewing.
At the IDEA Awards, organized by the esteemed Industrial Designers Society of America, LG added 16 more awards to its impressive tally for 2025.
One of the unique LG innovations honored at IDEA, the LG SIGNATURE OLED T is the world’s first transparent and true wireless OLED TV. Enabling users to effortlessly switch between transparent and opaque screen modes via remote control, the remarkable OLED T has now been lauded by the Red Dot, iF and IDEA design award programs.
LG’s IDEA–winning products also include the LG SIGNATURE refrigerator with Smart InstaView, LG ARTCOOL air conditioner, LG StanbyME 2 and the FURON symbol design.
Additionally, LG received a total of 36 awards at the iF Design Award 2025 (announced in April), including a coveted Gold Award. The company was recognized in categories such as Product Design, Communication, UX, UI and Packaging.
In Product Design, notable winners included LG ThinQ ON, the company’s AI home hub, and LG QNED TV, which delivers immersive viewing experiences and a slim, premium design. Among the company’s other honorees were the LG ThinQ Character, which can communicate with customers in a friendly, human-like manner through the ThinQ app; and LG Iconography (UI), a unified visual system that intuitively conveys each product’s features and services – both of which were recognized in the Communication, UX, UI and Packaging categories.
Under the vision of a Better Life for All, LG is redefining design by making products and services more accessible, intuitive and inclusive. Through deep lifestyle research, the company identifies real customer needs – based on behaviors, values and preferences – and applies integrated design and technology solutions that deliver meaningful, differentiated experiences across every touchpoint.
“Through our commitment to lifestyle-driven design and innovation, we will continue to deliver solutions that enhance user convenience and resonate with customers at an emotional level,” said Chung Wook-jun, head of the Corporate Design Center at LG Electronics.
