Restoration-Project_01-600x401.jpg

As a brand built on the philosophy, Art Inspires Technology, Technology Completes Art, LG SIGNATURE is closely aligned with the values of cultural heritage, having invested significant resources and time to bring the fine arts to wider audiences. Recently, LG partnered with Russia’s Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts to announce a project to restore

, the only work thought to have been sold by Vincent Van Gogh during his lifetime.

Known for its intensity in color and the anxious emotional state reflected in the work, the painting attracted the attention of many when it was first unveiled in Belgium in 1890 and immediately purchased by artist Anna Boch for a price equal to about USD 2,000 today. Considered one of the most valuable paintings among 19th and 20th century European works, the painting now calls Moscow’s Pushkin Museum home.

With financial support from LG SIGNATURE, the painting will undergo a thorough examination for the first time in its 130-year history. With the help of current scientific methods, the conservators and experts at Pushkin Museum will examine the painting using advanced X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy and electron microscopy techniques involving energy dispersion analysis. Through this process, the researchers hope to find answers to some long-held questions about the painting such as the paints used, how they were mixed, how the painting has changed due to age and which parts were changed by Van Gogh himself.

Since the partnership was initiated, LG and Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts have worked together on many collaborative projects such as Pushkin Museum x LG SIGNATURE Wednesdays, a series of discussions with art historians, psychologists, collectors and philosophers to discuss topics related to the human ability to see and contemplate.

Attracting over 500,000 online participants at its opening, program presenters helped broaden the public’s appreciation of art, aided by LG SIGNATURE OLED 8K TV as the backdrop, boasting exceptional quality and impressive brightness, demonstrating the importance of visual perception.

 Sponsoring the restoration project was not only based on LG SIGNATURE’s cultural mission to study and conserve the masterpiece but the belief that preservation of the world’s heritage could lead to inspirations in technology. Red Vineyard at Arles has never left its exhibition space since its arrival at Pushkin Museum in 1951 so the opportunity to examine and record this work in detail for posterity was invaluable not only for Pushkin Museum, but for art lovers the world over.

      When in an app, hitting home on the remote doesn't do anything. I was looking to see if there's a webOS update available, and now I see trying to open settings locks it all up. The only way to get out of an app right now or get it out of the state where trying settings locks it up is to power off and back on again.
      Things I've tried:
      1. Restart. I've tried various ways including unplugging and holding the power button on the TV for a while. I left it unplugged all night.
      2. Repair of the remote. 
      I don't know what else to try as I can't even get into settings to see if there's an update to fix this mess. Any thoughts?

      Television has long been a canvas for visual storytelling, but today it has evolved into something far more immersive. At LG, we’re redefining what a TV can be – transforming the screen into a seamless platform for art, creativity and personal expression.
      This transformation is first and foremost enabled by LG TV’s unrivaled picture quality. With LG OLED’s self-lit pixels delivering perfect blacks and infinite contrast, our displays provide the ultimate digital canvas, capable of reproducing the most delicate textures and vibrant colors exactly as the artist intended.
      Building on this visual excellence are LG’s True Wireless technology and LG Gallery+, our new visual curation service available on every 2025 LG TV in more than 150 countries. Together, they turn the TV into a wall-mounted masterpiece, blending effortlessly into any space while giving users direct access to world-class art.
      Perhaps the most compelling expression of this idea is the LG SIGNATURE OLED T, a 77-inch transparent display that pairs ultra-sharp 4K OLED picture quality with complete wireless freedom through LG’s proprietary True Wireless technology. The product recently earned a Best of Innovation Award from the Consumer Technology Association ahead of CES 2026, and it reflects a growing shift: TVs are becoming part of interior design as well as a medium for creative expression.
      A World of Art Where You Are
      Built on the award-winning webOS platform, LG Gallery+ offers more than 4,500 curated image and video content ranging from timeless classics to modern artwork, gaming landscapes and personal photo uploads. With adaptive smart features and personalization options, it lets users instantly reshape the atmosphere of a room – whether setting a mood for a celebration or enjoying a quiet Sunday morning.
      LG’s collaboration with the National Gallery in London brings iconic works from internationally recognized artists into the home through LG Gallery+. The service continues to grow, offering a unique way for people to explore, curate and enjoy art in everyday life – such as starting the day bathed in the vivid colors of Van Gogh’s A Wheatfield.

      True Wireless Clears the Way for TV’s Future
      When paired with True Wireless technology, LG Gallery+ becomes even more powerful. By relocating connections to the discreet Zero Connect Box, the wireless technology removes visible cables and frees the TV from traditional placement restrictions. The result is pristine wall-mounted installation that is reminiscent of a home gallery, available in both the ultra-premium LG OLED evo M5 and the more accessible LG QNED9M from the QNED evo lineup.
      A wireless TV alone may still appear as a giant black screen when inactive – but with LG Gallery+, it becomes a living canvas that enhances the space even when not in use.
      What to Look for in a Digital Canvas
      Art deserves technologies that preserve every detail. LG’s 2025 OLED evo models deliver perfect blacks, brilliant colors and exceptional brightness – ideal for displaying rich textures and subtle tonal transitions. AI-powered picture optimization analyzes more than 1.6 billion image settings, tailoring display modes for each viewer and environment.
      For creators, features like Dynamic Tone Mapping Professional offer precise control over HDR10 content, enabling professional-level calibration across lighting conditions and supporting more immersive digital art experiences.
      QNED evo Makes Colors Pop for More People
      For those seeking a wider range of options, LG QNED evo TVs bring many OLED-inspired innovations to a broader audience. Featuring Mini LED technology powered by the Alpha AI processor, QNED evo offers enhanced contrast and accuracy in images to ensure deeper blacks, brighter highlights and well-balanced picture quality. With Dynamic QNED Color solution that offer outstanding depth, clarity and precision, QNED evo delivers striking realism in both bright and dark spaces. Available from 50 to 100 inches, the lineup balances versatility and performance – ideal for gaming, movies, sports and digital art alike.
      Choose the Canvas That Fits Your Life
      Whether it’s LG SIGNATURE OLED, OLED evo or QNED evo, each model offers a path to experiencing art and content in new ways. True Wireless opens spaces. LG Gallery+ fills them with meaning. Together, they invite users into a more creative, personal and beautifully connected world.

      At LG Electronics, Better Life for All is more than a corporate vision or tagline – it’s a guiding principle that shapes everything we create. Central to our inclusive vision is a belief in universal design: the philosophy of crafting products and experiences to deliver convenience and comfort for everyone, regardless of age, gender or physical ability.
      Committed to this philosophy, LG aims to go beyond functional innovation to provide unique lifestyle solutions that truly put people first. A deep understanding of our customers and the diverse environments in which they live is essential to this endeavor, which is why listening to the voice of the customer is such an integral part of our design process.
      We have established systems to directly integrate real user feedback, especially from those with limited mobility – and seniors and children – into the product development stage. This includes operating an advisory group of people with disabilities and conducting in-depth usability testing. Both of these elements have proven instrumental in helping us to identify and minimize even the smallest points of user discomfort.
      Designing with Empathy, Delivering with Purpose
      Design at LG has always been about more than aesthetics. It’s about innovating with empathy to ensure usability, ease and enjoyment for all. For us, universal design is not just an outcome, but a mindset shared by all our teams – one that infuses human-centeredness into every decision, no matter how minor or inconsequential it may seem to someone looking in from the outside. From the first concept sketch to the final product experience, we view every touchpoint as an opportunity to make someone’s daily life simpler, safer and more enjoyable.
      This approach requires us to design with people rather than for them. It challenges our teams to think beyond convention, to question what “easy to use” truly means and to continuously refine our technology to better meet and adapt to real human needs. When empathy is woven into the design process itself, innovation follows naturally. That is how we translate inclusivity from principle to practice.
      Turning Philosophy into Practice: The Comfort Kit
      Putting this philosophy into action, we launched the Comfort Kit – a series of affixable assistive kits designed to allow anyone to use our products easily, regardless of their gender, age or physical condition.
      Some examples:

      Easy Handle: Enables users with limited hand mobility to open washers and dryers with minimal effort.
      Easy Ball: Helps those with reduced finger dexterity to manipulate control dials with ease.
      Easy Hanger: Allows people using wheelchairs, or those who are shorter than average, to interact comfortably with the LG Styler.
      Rotating Shelf: Improves refrigerator usability by making it easier to access hard-to-reach items. We have presented inclusive design solutions that improve the usability of existing products, becoming the first in the home appliance industry to introduce 14 accessibility-enhancing kits. These Comfort Kit series, designed to remove the “one-size-fits-some” barrier that many customers have long faced, are also sustainably manufactured – reflecting our commitment to protecting the planet.
      Recognition Beyond Design

      Our efforts have not gone unnoticed. Globally, we are recognized as a model company for inclusive design.
      We’ve shared our accessibility technologies and design philosophy at forums such as the CSUN Assistive Technology Conference, where the Comfort Kit series was welcomed by both consumers and organizations advocating for underrepresented communities.
      We also showcased this work at important global exhibitions such as IFA and CES. Our dedication to good design earned us the “Design Awards Grand Slam” – winning top honors at all three major global design awards, Red Dot, iF, and IDEA.
      These accolades matter to us, but more importantly, they reflect our deep conviction that inclusive design is not just a feature – it’s a responsibility.
      Designing for a Better Tomorrow
      For us at LG, realizing the Better Life for All vision means creating unique products and experiences that feel right for everyone, and can be enjoyed by anyone. We will continue to advance accessibility so that all customers can take advantage of everything that our products and services have to offer. No caveats or compromises, only convenience and comfort.

      LG Brings the Spirit of Life’s Good to Communities Across Indonesia
      With optimism and innovation at our core, we continue to share our Life’s Good philosophy by inspiring joy and connection in local communities. Throughout 2025, LG Indonesia has carried this spirit across the country through meaningful initiatives marking its 35th anniversary – celebrating togetherness, creativity and the everyday moments that make life good.
      By combining technology with shared experiences, LG Indonesia is bringing innovation closer to everyday life and creating opportunities for people to experience how technology can uplift and inspire.

      Taking Innovation on the Road
      Earlier this year, LG Indonesia took our latest AI-powered products and LG ThinQ technology on the road with the Life’s Good Truck Roadshow campaign.
      Over several months, the Life’s Good Truck visited 21 cities across Java, inviting visitors to explore and experience our innovations firsthand. Through interactive activities and hands-on product trials, local communities had the chance to engage with LG’s cutting-edge technologies outside of a traditional showroom – turning every stop into a celebration of innovation and connection.

      A New Space for Creativity and Connection
      Following the roadshow, LG Indonesia opened LG ZonaSeru at CGV Cinemas in Central Park Mall, Jakarta – a space designed to inspire, educate and entertain. More than a display area, LG ZonaSeru reimagines the customer experience as a creative hub where technology and culture meet. With interactive installations, workshops and community events, the space brings people together and embodies the Life’s Good spirit through shared discovery and fun.

      Celebrating 35 Years with the Life’s Good Festival 2025: K-Wave Edition
      To mark 35 years in Indonesia, LG Indonesia proudly introduced the Life’s Good Festival 2025: K-Wave Edition, hosted at LG ZonaSeru.
      Running through the end of the year, the festival invites visitors of all ages to explore the richness of Korean culture through engaging classes in Hangul, K-Food, K-Beauty and K-Pop Dance. Each session is led by professional instructors and popular influencers who make every class accessible, creative and full of energy.

      In the K-Food Class, participants can cook healthy Korean dishes using the LG NeoChef Microwave Grill Oven, while the Hangul Class introduces the Korean alphabet and simple vocabulary. The K-Beauty Class offers hands-on insights into skincare and style trends, and the K-Pop Dance Class gets everyone moving with choreography inspired by their favorite idols.

      Throughout the festival, visitors can also experience our latest award-winning innovations – including the LG AI OLED evo C5 TV, LG WashTower, LG InstaView Refrigerator, LG DUALCOOL Air Conditioner and LG PuriCare Dehumidifier – each designed to make everyday living smarter, healthier and more enjoyable.

      Life’s Good – Every Day, Everywhere
      These initiatives show that Life’s Good is more than just a slogan. It’s about creating real experiences that connect people across cultures, celebrate optimism and make technology meaningful in everyday life.
      As we celebrate 35 years in Indonesia, we remain committed to bringing innovation directly to communities – enriching daily living with smart, intuitive design and a spirit of togetherness that makes Life’s Good for everyone.

      At LG, we’ve always believed that the kitchen is the true heart of the home – a place where innovation meets creativity, and where Life’s Good can be experienced in every meal. To celebrate this spirit, LG Australia teamed up with MasterChef Australia to inspire home cooks across the country to embrace their culinary confidence. To mark the collaboration, LG Australia hosted A Taste of the Good Life – an exclusive event that gave guests an immersive culinary experience and a chance to see our innovative kitchen solutions in action.

      Held shortly after the finale of MasterChef Australia Season 17, the event brought together media and influencers at the Are Media test kitchen in Sydney. Hosted by Declan Cleary, third runner-up MasterChef contestant and LG ambassador, the event showcased how our appliances make it easier for anyone – from beginners to passionate home cooks – to create delicious meals with confidence.

      Upon arrival, guests were welcomed with a unique touch of LG hospitality: their coats were steamed and refreshed using the LG Styler, ready for pick-up at the end of the evening. Each was also gifted an LG x MasterChef Australia apron and chef’s hat to set the tone for culinary inspiration both at the event and back at home.

      The program commenced with Shannon Tweedie, Home Appliance Solutions Marketing Manager at LG Australia, who shared the story of our partnership with MasterChef Australia. Martin Kim, product specialist at LG Australia, followed with a demonstration of how features like the InstaView refrigerator contribute to great recipes by keeping ingredients fresher for longer.

      The highlight of the event was a cooking masterclass led by Declan Cleary. Together with Martin, he showcased the versatility of the LG 6-in-1 InstaView oven, walking guests through its different cooking modes while preparing a selection of dishes designed to spark inspiration for everyday cooking.
      Following Declan’s masterclass, guests participated in a series of three interactive and educational workshops. First, cocktail specialist Jenna Hemsworth led a master mixology session, where she demonstrated LG’s slow melting craft ice feature and how it can elevate any cocktail creation. Next, Are Media’s resident food stylist, Michelle Cranston, hosted a food photography masterclass, sharing her expertise on plating and capturing Insta-worthy shots. Finally, Declan Cleary returned with his “sauce it, sear it, style it” workshop, bringing the magic of MasterChef Australia to life while showcasing the fast-heating capabilities of the LG Induction cooktop.

      Throughout the event, guests also had the chance to experience our broader lineup of home and entertainment solutions – from the CordZero vacuum and StanbyME to the OLED C5 TV.
      As a nod to the iconic MasterChef Australia Mystery Box challenge, guests were invited to guess how many ingredients were stored inside our InstaView French Door Fridge. The lucky winner, announced at the end of the event, took home their very own LG InstaView fridge – fully stocked with fresh ingredients to kickstart their culinary adventures.
      Before heading home, every guest received co-branded cookware from LG and MasterChef Australia – a small but meaningful gift to keep the inspiration going long after the event.

      The response was overwhelmingly positive, with attendees praising both the interactive workshops and the practical demonstrations. More than just a showcase, A Taste of the Good Life brought our complete kitchen solution to life in a way that was fun, memorable and inspiring.
      With MasterChef Australia, we’re not just demonstrating innovation – we’re helping Australians discover new confidence in the kitchen, proving once again that when it comes to life at home, Life’s Good.
