LG’s massive ultra-high-definition digital billboard overlooking New York City’s iconic Times Square became host to a three-phase visual spectacle that reflects the company’s efforts to engage with consumers directly around the seasons. LG’s first 3D content series designed for the billboard is a stunning visual display sure to make passersby smile. The new billboard content will run through the end of November.

Taking full advantage of the Times Square billboard’s unique curved design, LG harnesses the power of forced perspective to display imaginative multi-dimensional 3D content which share the company’s core messaging that together, Life’s Good. Launching with an inspiring back-to-school message for the American audience, the 3D illusion begins with an explosion of crayons and swirling images from scissors to school buses, dancing around the screen, eventually spelling out LIFE’S GOOD before being buried by a multitude of crayons as the animation continues its loop.

Over the past year LG has mobilized the Times Square billboard to engage, educate, and entertain consumers during the pandemic. From hosting the YouTube documentary “Life In A Day 2020” by Academy Award-winning director Kevin Macdonald to premiering the “Global Citizen VAX LIVE Extended Concert Sponsored by YouTube,” to encouraging climate action on ENERGY STAR® Day, LG has leveraged the space in Times Square to remind viewers that Life’s Good no matter how challenging our surroundings may be.

“We hope that visitors in Times Square are not only awed by the visual splendor of the 3D display, but also that they will be inspired to believe that no matter the season, Life’s Good together,” said Peggy Ang, senior vice president of marketing, LG Electronics USA. “At the same time, our new 3D content series exemplifies how LG is innovating when it comes to engaging with consumers.”

      The way we work, learn and shop is changing fast. With hybrid work becoming the norm, education going digital and the lines between online and offline experiences blurring, there’s a growing need for technology that can keep up. Businesses today need tools that are flexible, easy to use and ready to adapt to whatever the day brings.
      That’s exactly why we created the LG Smart Monitor Swing (model 32U889SA) – an all-in-one display engineered for modern enterprises. It’s a versatile smart platform that works without a PC, so you can use it anywhere, anytime, to boost productivity, improve communication and create better experiences for customers, students and teams.
      Let’s take a look at how it’s making a difference across different spaces.
      Retail: Overcoming In-Store Communication Hurdles
      In retail – particularly in fashion and beauty – it’s all about catching the customer’s eye and sharing the right information at the right time. But we know that installing large, fixed displays isn’t always easy in busy stores.

      The LG Smart Monitor Swing directly addresses these issues. Its vibrant 4K (3,840 x 2,160) resolution display serves as a dynamic digital catalog, showcasing product details and promotions with stunning clarity. Furthermore, its movable stand overcomes installation barriers, allowing for flexible placement anywhere in-store. This enables retailers to strategically position the display to capture customer attention or instantly repurpose a space for a live commerce broadcast – maximizing both engagement and floor space.
      Hospitals: A Dynamic Information Hub for Patients and Visitors
      Hospitals are busy places, and keeping patients and visitors informed can be a challenge. Static posters and signs can be missed, and updating them takes time.

      With the Smart Monitor Swing, you can easily share schedules, health notices or service information in real time. Place it at the front desk to welcome visitors, in waiting areas as a digital bulletin board or even use it as a central hub for teleconsultations. And because it’s mobile, you can move it wherever it’s needed most – no more being tied to one spot.
      Education: Transforming Passive Viewing into Interactive Learning
      A common challenge in educational settings, from kindergartens to senior classrooms, is fostering sustained student engagement and enabling meaningful real-time interaction. The Swing transforms the learning process by creating a more collaborative and effective environment.

      Its adjustable, high-resolution screen provides an optimal viewing experience for remote learning and group activities. Powered by webOS, the smart monitor lets students and teachers directly interact with educational applications and whiteboard functions via its touch-sensitive screen, turning passive viewing into an active, participatory experience.
      Workspaces: Redefining Collaboration and Personal Productivity
      In small offices or meeting rooms, space is precious. The Smart Monitor Swing can be your team’s central hub for sharing ideas, running video calls or working on cloud-based apps.

      With its 31.5-inch 4K screen, it’s perfect for sharing content with small groups. Its built-in webOS platform further enhances collaboration by allowing teams to access home office apps, including video conferencing apps2 and cloud-based applications – all without needing an external device such as a laptop or PC.

      The Swing’s versatility also introduces a new way of working for professionals who value a clutter-free desk, such as fashion designers who need space for physical samples. Its unique, independent stand liberates the entire desk surface for a clean workspace. The large display, combined with versatile tilt, swivel and pivot functions, makes it easy to hold spontaneous discussions over materials, fostering a more dynamic and interactive workflow.
      Sports & Entertainment: From Simple Simulators to Premium Experiences
      Sports and entertainment venues often face space constraints that make it difficult to install or reposition large displays. The Swing provides a mobile and flexible solution, delivering large, high-resolution screens that can adapt to different environments. In screen golf facilities, for example, its innovative swinging design enables optimal positioning and effortless repositioning. Featuring stunning 4K resolution, the Swing delivers a more immersive player experience than the low-resolution screens found in many simulators, rendering highly detailed course graphics. Powered by webOS, it also supports seamless customization of club branding, promotional events and time-based announcements.

      The versatility extends to various hospitality applications. In hotels and VIP lounges, it ensures vivid visuals for branded content, promotions and event information. When placed in business hotel rooms, the monitor allows guests to work conveniently, using webOS apps to maintain productivity without a PC.
      For us, the LG Smart Monitor Swing isn’t just another screen – it’s a core enterprise solution that helps businesses work smarter, communicate better and make the most of their space. And we’re not stopping here. We’ll keep creating innovative display solutions that break free from the limits of traditional monitors, so you can keep adapting, growing and thriving.

      LG’s Radio Optimism Campaign Inspires People to Share Their Love With Family
      and Loved Ones Through One-of-a-Kind AI Songs

      SEOUL, Sep. 25, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG) today announced the success of its AI-powered Radio Optimism campaign, which revealed a universal truth: despite the rapid advances in technology, love and gratitude toward family and loved ones remain life’s foremost priorities.
      Available in six languages, the creative platform inspired people globally to create more than 700,000 personalized songs. These AI-generated tracks – listened to and shared over 1.5 million times – underscored the enduring importance of human connection across cultures.
      Designed to counter the sense of disconnection often associated with social media, Radio Optimism invited users to write a message to a loved one, select a genre and vibe and generate a one-of-a-kind AI song. By turning music into a heartfelt gesture, the campaign brought LG’s Life’s Good brand promise into the digital spaces where people most often connect.
      Messages of love proved most prominent, appearing in over 30 percent of the songs, followed by messages of gratitude and encouragement. Family emerged as the most frequent recipient, followed by friends, reaffirming that when it comes to care and affection, people turn first to those closest to them.
      The campaign drew an overwhelming response, generating over 30 million social engagements worldwide and 2.4 billion views of its content. Partnerships with global and local influencers amplified its reach, including Australian father-daughter duo Ben and Zara,
      link hidden, please login to view, and Brazilian creator Jessie Shen, . The campaign also captured unique cultural moments, such as sports fans crafting team anthems and pet owners dedicating songs to their companions, illustrating the evolving ways people express and share what matters most.
      “Through this creative campaign, we believe we helped people rediscover the enduring values that remain unchanged even in times of change and volatility,” said Kim Hyo-eun, head of LG’s Brand Management Division. “It deeply resonated with people worldwide, reflecting the lasting value of Life’s Good. We will continue to engage with them, upholding this promise and inspiring optimism for a better life.”
      The Radio Optimism campaign demonstrates how AI, when used thoughtfully, can strengthen emotional bonds in the digital age. By enabling users to create personalized songs trained on properly licensed music from original artists, LG upheld its commitment to responsible innovation while fostering a global movement of optimism and meaningful connection.

      LG’s New Campaign Leverages Music – the Universal Language – to Foster
      Deeper Connections and Expand the Life’s Good Promise in Digital Spaces

      SEOUL, June 24, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG) today launched a new brand campaign, “Radio Optimism,” designed to help strengthen meaningful human connections and spread optimism through shared musical experiences. This initiative aligns with LG’s brand promise, “Life’s Good,” and addresses the growing challenge of forming genuine relationships in a technology-driven world.
      The Radio Optimism campaign seeks to counteract the disconnection often felt in an era dominated by superficial interactions, such as likes and comments on social media. By harnessing the power of music, LG aims to foster deeper bonds among individuals, promoting a more fulfilling life.
      “As technology advances, meaningful human connections become increasingly vital to enrich our lives. LG continues its commitment to bringing optimism into customers’ daily lives, staying true to our enduring brand promise of ‘Life’s Good,’” said Kim Hyo-eun, head of LG’s Brand Management Division.
      This campaign reinforces LG’s commitment to creating enriching experiences in digital spaces where today’s consumers spend significant time. Building on this mission, LG has continuously engaged with younger audiences through participatory campaigns that bring the Life’s Good philosophy to life. Last year’s “Optimism your feed” campaign leveraged social algorithms to foster positivity on social media. This new initiative specifically seeks to address the paradoxical disconnection in an era of hyper-connectivity.
      “One of the most reliable predictors of happiness is having deep and meaningful relationships,” said Jean M. Twenge, Professor of Psychology at San Diego State University. “Yet today, many people are spending more time online and less time connecting in person. Social media in particular tends to create shallow relationships rather than the deep connections people need. It’s common for people to have hundreds of followers but no one to talk to in real life if they need support. We need to build more meaningful connections with those around us. That might turn around the pronounced decline in happiness that’s occurred over the last decade.”
      A new global study* from LG on social connection reveals that 68 percent of people find it harder to make real friends, and a third reported having one or fewer meaningful connections in the past month, with 8 percent experiencing none at all. Inspired by traditional radio’s unique way of connecting people through music and storytelling, the Radio Optimism campaign transforms this concept into an interactive platform where participants can create and send personalized songs to their loved ones. Users can easily create new songs using AI-powered tools, which are thoroughly trained on a curated music dataset. These tools interpret user prompts to produce unique musical pieces and generate matching album art, providing an engaging and personalized experience. Once generated, these songs can be sent to recipients to deepen their connection and made available for others to discover worldwide.
      According to the survey, nearly 9 in 10 respondents believe that meaningful connections lead to a more optimistic outlook on life. By providing a platform for individuals to express their feelings, this campaign aims to foster deeper connections and help individuals enrich their lives while spreading optimism in their own ways.
      The campaign website is available in English and Spanish, with plans to support additional languages in the coming months to enable broader participation. The official website can be found at

Winners will receive scholarships of up to USD 25,000, mentorship from top creatives and the opportunity to have their work displayed on one of the world’s most famous digital billboards.
