SEOUL, April 26, 2022 — LG Electronics (LG) has announced the global launch of its 2022 LG gram lineup of premium laptops. Ideal for a wide variety of users, the new models continue the brand’s legacy of supreme portability with sleek, ultra-light designs while adopting innovative software and the latest hardware to deliver even more power and convenience.

The 2022 LG gram lineup features seven new models: gram 17 (17Z90Q), gram 16 (16Z90Q), gram 15 (15Z90Q), gram 14 (14Z90Q), gram 2-in-1 (16T90Q and 14T90Q) and the series’ first-ever portable monitor, +view for LG gram (16MQ70). Each new LG gram laptop provides powerful performance backed by a 12th Gen Intel® Core™ processor. This year’s laptops have also been upgraded to the latest Gen4 NVMe™ SSD, and employ low-voltage LPDDR5 RAM to achieve a performance boost of around 22 percent compared to 2021 gram models.1 Intel® Evo™ Platform certified, the 2022 LG grams guarantee excellent battery life, giving users the freedom to work or play, wherever their day takes them.

LG’s premium laptops are synonymous with superb picture quality, and its newest offerings serve as a strong reminder of why. Featuring 16:10 aspect ratio, WQXGA (2,560 x 1,600) resolution IPS panels,2 the new grams provide sharp, vibrant images with high brightness, 99 percent coverage of the DCI-P3 color space, and plenty of screen real estate to meet users’ diverse productivity and entertainment needs. What’s more, LG’s advanced IPS displays are now anti-glare,3 reducing distracting reflections and making it easier for users to see what they’re working on, regardless of ambient light conditions.

2022 LG gram laptops elevate the user experience with LG Glance by Mirametrix®, an innovative AI-based software solution that enhances security and convenience. LG Glance by Mirametrix® automatically locks the screen if the user steps away from their laptop.4 It also alerts the user and blurs the content they are working on if someone is peeking at the screen from over their shoulder.5 Conveniently, if a separate monitor is connected, the mouse cursor and the window currently being used automatically move to whichever screen the user is looking at. Additionally, this year’s models offer an optimized environment for video conferencing with features such as face log-in, AI-noise cancelling and a built-in Full HD webcam.

The latest grams remain true to the brand’s core identity, delivering compact, ultra-lightweight designs without sacrificing durability or performance. With their 4-way super-slim bezel design, each model offers an excellent screen-to-body ratio and is rugged enough to meet the U.S. military’s stringent MIL-STD-810G standard. On top of that, all 2022 LG gram products ship in eco-conscious packaging that presents thoughtful reusability after unboxing – cleverly converting to a desk calendar and pencil holder.

Versatile devices that enable users to switch between laptop and tablet in seconds, the new 16- and 14-inch LG gram 2-in-1 models come with pre-installed drawing and notetaking applications optimized for the LG Stylus Pen (Wacom AES 2.0). With the combination of smoothly integrated stylus support and LG’s AI-based user interface, the latest gram convertibles offer greater work efficiency as well as a responsive and enjoyable writing and sketching experience.

This year’s gram lineup also welcomes the +view for LG gram, a portable 16-inch monitor with detachable cover that connects via USB-C to extend the digital workspace. The 16MQ70 can be placed next to a laptop in horizontal or vertical orientation,6 and is a perfect match for LG gram 16; combining to provide a seamless look and a 32:10 aspect ratio IPS canvas for advanced multitasking.

“The 2022 gram series honors the brand’s identity and heritage with supreme portability, outstanding performance and optimized user experiences,” said Seo Young-jae, senior vice president and head of the IT business unit of LG Electronics Business Solutions Company. “Ideal for dynamic people on the move, LG gram products are designed to maximize productivity no matter where you are or what you’re working on.”

The global rollout of the 2022 LG gram lineup will start from the second quarter with availability at key markets in North America, Europe and Asia.

      Extensive Installation at Atlético de Madrid’s State-Of-The-Art Stadium Features
      Cutting-Edge Design and Advanced Mesh LED Technology to Energize the Crowd

      SEOUL, Sep. 29, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG) is set to redefine stadium experiences with its latest advanced digital signage solutions, debuting at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano Stadium – the home of European football giants Atlético de Madrid – from the start of the 2025/26 La Liga season. The extensive installation is engineered to elevate live sports into fully immersive fan experiences while strengthening LG’s leadership in the global signage market.
      The installation spans 1,742 square meters, encircling the stadium’s uppermost tier with a sweeping ribbon of vivid, dynamic visuals that deliver real-time match information and energize the crowd from every angle.
      At the ribbon’s core is LG’s Mesh LED display, a lightweight, flexible system built from a net-like array of LED modules. This design enables seamless installation on high-rise structures or curved surfaces, while delivering exceptional brightness, sharp contrast and clear visibility even on bright days. Low heat emission and reduced power consumption further enhance energy efficiency.
      The Riyadh Air Metropolitano Stadium also features over 3,000 square meters of additional LG digital signage, strategically placed at entrances, concourses, the player tunnel and the press center. Together, these displays create a unified visual environment that builds anticipation before kickoff and sustains excitement until the final whistle.
      LG’s sports signage portfolio spans nearly 200 countries, from iconic arenas to local training facilities. Beyond ribbon boards, the company offers large-scale scoreboards to small-format displays – all supported by the LG Business Cloud platform for remote management, targeted content delivery and new advertising revenue opportunities.
      In Spain, LG supplies LED signage to approximately 80 percent of professional football stadiums, highlighting its market dominance. Its technology also powers some of the world’s most celebrated venues, including Twickenham Stadium and Wembley Stadium in the UK, as well as leading stadiums in Germany, Belgium, the U.S. and across Europe and North America.
      According to Omdia, the global LED signage market – including sports facilities – is expected to grow at an average annual rate of around 13.4 percent, surpassing KRW 14 trillion by 2029.
      “Our advanced signage solutions featured throughout the Riyadh Air Metropolitano Stadium exemplify our commitment to elevating the stadium experience for sports fans,” said Paik Ki-mun, head of the Information Display Business at the LG Media Entertainment Solution Company. “By delivering immersive and dynamic visual solutions, we aim to strengthen our leadership in this growing market.”

      Immersive Sound, Long Battery Life and Ergonomic Comfort Across All Models—
      Tailored for Audiophiles and Everyday Listeners

      SEOUL, Sep. 15, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG) is expanding the xboom Buds lineup with the introduction of Buds Plus and Buds Lite, building on the success of the original xboom Buds launched in January. Designed to deliver high-quality audio experiences for casual listeners and discerning audiophiles alike, the new models offer immersive sound, extended battery life and ergonomic comfort, ensuring uninterrupted listening wherever life takes you.
      Expertly tuned by world-renowned musician will.i.am, the xboom Buds series delivers high-resolution sound quality and rich bass. With this expansion, LG continues to differentiate its audio offerings by providing a diverse range of features and pricing options tailored to different lifestyles – from premium performance to essential everyday use.
      Shared Performance Across the Lineup
      The Buds Plus and Buds Lite are built on LG’s expertise in audio innovation, delivering a solid foundation of high-end sound and reliable performance:
      Immersive Sound: Lightweight graphene drivers deliver clear, detailed audio with rich bass and minimal distortion. Active Noise Cancellation (ANC)1: LG’s intelligent ANC technology detects and reduces background noise for a more focused listening experience. Long Battery Life: Up to 10 hours of playback and 30 hours with the charging case across all models, with Buds Lite offering even longer endurance. Seamless Connectivity: Bluetooth 5.4 ensures smooth, low-latency streaming across devices, while support for Multi-Point & Multi-Pairing, Google Fast Pair and Swift Pairing makes switching between smartphones, laptops and tablets effortless. Ergonomic Comfort: All models feature a secure in-ear fit with multiple ear tip sizes and a unique ear hook design for added stability. These shared features guarantee LG xboom’s signature audio quality in every xboom Buds model.
      xboom Buds Plus: Premium Features for Elevated Listening Pleasure
      Designed for people seeking truly elevated listening experiences, Buds Plus combine advanced technology with thoughtful design. Adaptive EQ continuously monitors earbud fit and automatically adjusts the sound profile in real time. This ensures optimal audio quality regardless of how the earbuds are worn – compensating for changes that could otherwise result in sound imbalance or bass loss. The result is consistently rich, immersive sound with minimal variation. Buds Plus also feature a triple microphone system that enhances both ANC performance and call clarity, making them ideal for noisy environments or professional use.
      To ensure the best possible fit and sound isolation, the Noise Cancelling Optimization tool on the xboom Buds app recommends the ear gel that offers the most secure seal, maximizing both comfort and ANC effectiveness.
      With hygiene a growing concern, LG reintroduces its UVnano2 technology through the Buds Plus charging case – eliminating 99.9 percent of bacteria from the surface of the ear gel and speaker mesh while charging, and helping users stay fresh and worry-free throughout the day.
      Also making a welcome return is the Plug & Wireless feature, which instantly turns the charging case into a Bluetooth transmitter for non-Bluetooth devices such as in-flight entertainment systems and gym equipment. With Auracast support, users can also synchronize audio across multiple devices, perfect for watch parties, multiplayer gaming and collaborative projects.
      And for those who value convenience, the Buds Plus charging case supports wireless charging, making it easier than ever to power up without fumbling for cables. Whether placed on a charging pad at home or on the go, this feature adds a layer of effortless practicality to the premium experience.
      xboom Buds Lite: Essential Audio for Everyday Adventures
      Designed for those who value simplicity with a touch of personalization, Buds Lite deliver high-quality wireless audio in a streamlined, comfortable form. Powered by the same lightweight graphene drivers as Buds Plus, they offer clear, balanced audio for music, calls and more.
      With up to 11.5 hours of playback on a single charge – and up to 35 hours with the charging case – Buds Lite are built to keep up with long commutes, travel days and non-stop listening. Their lightweight, ergonomic design and multiple ear tip sizes ensure a secure, comfortable fit that lasts all day.
      To enhance the listening experience, Buds Lite feature Mild ANC paired with four customizable EQ modes, allowing users to fine-tune their sound profile to match their preferences – whether they’re relaxing at home or working in a café. This added layer of personalization brings a premium touch to everyday audio.
      The Full xboom Buds Family
      xboom Buds Plus: Advanced earbuds with superior sound and easy usability. Recommended for active users who travel frequently or have dynamic lifestyles. xboom Buds: Standard earbuds suitable for various everyday activities. Recommended for users with active daily routines, such as students and professionals. xboom Buds Lite: Essential earbuds with long-lasting battery life, ideal for indoor use. Recommended for users in environments such as cafes and libraries. “Sound has always been part of LG’s identity, beginning with the first radio made in Korea and evolving into today’s wireless audio innovations,” said Lee Jeong-seok, head of the LG Media Entertainment Solution Company’s audio business division. “With xboom Buds Plus and Buds Lite expanding the xboom Buds lineup, we are honoring that legacy by making immersive, high-quality audio experiences available to more people, regardless of their lifestyle or listening preferences.”
      Availability
      With the newest members of the xboom Buds family, LG reaffirms its commitment to giving consumers audio solutions that fit seamlessly into their lifestyle and reflect their unique preferences.
      The new Buds Plus and Buds Lite models will roll out in major markets worldwide from September. To learn more about LG xboom Buds, please visit:

      1 Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) Disclaimer: ANC functionality is available across all xboom Buds models, but performance may vary. xboom Buds and Buds Plus use a 3-microphone system for enhanced noise detection and reduction. Buds Lite uses a single microphone to monitor ambient noise, resulting in different ANC experiences depending on the model and environment.
      2 UVnano is a compound word derived from “UV” and its unit “nanometer.” Independent testing shows that the UVnano charging case eliminates 99.9% of Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Klebsiella pneumoniae bacteria from the earbuds’ speaker mesh within ten minutes of charging. The UV LED function operates when the charging case is connected to a power cable. However users can also customize the settings so that the UVnano is activated automatically whenever the earbuds are placed inside the case and the lid is closed, for added convenience.

      Optimized for Modern Living, Company’s New Fit & Max Refrigerators Deliver Stylish,
      User-Centric Design and Smart Performance to European Kitchens

      SEOUL, Aug. 19, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG) is unveiling its latest refrigerator lineup for the European market at IFA 2025. Designed to deliver top-tier energy efficiency, the new french door and bottom-freezer models have been developed specifically for Europe’s unique housing environments and consumer lifestyles, reflecting LG’s extensive research into local needs and preferences. The lineup combines energy-saving performance, smart features and space-efficient styling that integrates seamlessly into modern homes.
      Outstanding Energy Efficiency
      Responding to increased demand for energy-efficient appliances across Europe, LG is introducing models that meet – and significantly surpass – the European Union’s highest (“A”) energy rating. The new bottom-freezer model exceeds the requirement for the A rating, while the french door model has impressively earned an A rating, despite being in a category where such ratings are rare.
      LG’s exceptional energy efficiency was made possible by its optimized insulation design tailored for the European market, as well as AI-based features that help reduce electricity consumption by learning household usage patterns and optimizing compressor operation during periods of low activity.
      Fit & Max: Perfect Fit and Maximum Performance
      Designed for Europe’s typically compact kitchens, the new lineup features LG’s Zero Clearance Hinge, enabling doors to open fully (up to 110 degrees) even when placed flush against a wall. Sleek exteriors with LG’s Premium Flat Door design create a refined, built-in look.
      AI-powered features elevate convenience and efficiency to make every day easier and power bills more manageable. AI Fresh monitors your door-opening habits over three weeks and lowers the temperature in advance during peak times. This helps reduce sudden temperature changes when the door is opened, keeping food fresher for longer. AI Saving Mode analyzes use-behavior and intelligently adjusts cooling performance during low-usage periods, helping save energy.
      Embodying LG’s MAX concept – maximizing space efficiency and food freshness – the lineup features a variety of storage solutions that enhance interior usability, including the Retractable Shelf for tall or bulky items, and generous interior capacity. Freshness technologies include Linear Cooling to minimize temperature fluctuations, Door Cooling+ for fast, even cooling and Fresh Converter+ with customizable storage zones for meat, fish and vegetables.
      New French Door Refrigerator Boasting Built-In Look, Practical Features
      The new french door model presents LG’s first Thin Door design with both an ice and water dispenser, plus the installation flexibility of the Zero Clearance Hinge. The Ultra Slim In-Door Ice Maker saves storage space while delivering a steady supply of ice.
      Interior enhancements include an optimized basket design that reduces the risk of bottles tipping over when opening or closing. Deeper shelves improve internal storage capacity, aligning with the needs of European lifestyles. Soft Closing Doors prevent slamming, ensuring smoother and quieter operation.
      New Bottom-Freezer Designed for Flexibility
      Designed to fit real European kitchen environments, the new bottom-freezer series offers a variety of sizes and capacities. Adjustable shelving and flexible compartments maximize usable space.
      The Adjustable Shelf offers seven height settings, while the combination of Adjustable and Retractable Shelves allows for tailored organization. Additional accessories, such as the Movable Bucket, My Box and Mini Door Basket, can be repositioned for convenient access or to free up space for other items.
      “LG’s new refrigerator lineup reflects a firm commitment to meaningful innovation, combining outstanding space and energy efficiency with designs that fit seamlessly into modern kitchens,” said Lyu Jae-cheol, president of the LG Home Appliance Solution Company. “We remain focused on developing user-centric technologies that enhance everyday convenience, simplify life at home and have less impact on the planet.”

      Improved Access to News Content and Strengthened Broadcast Partnerships Inspire
      Double-Digit Growth Across Multiple Regions

      SEOUL, Aug. 8, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG) is advancing LG Channels viewership growth across the world, thanks to its intuitive user interface and growing variety of content. As part of this effort, LG is partnering with leading broadcasters and news organizations across multiple regions to add more news streams to the platform, making them both relevant to local audiences and easier to access and explore.
      Starting this month, LG Channels news content can also be accessed directly from the home screen via newly introduced News Portal. Rolled out via Q-Card in the U.S., Mexico, Brazil, the U.K. and Germany on TVs running webOS 25, this feature is expected to expand to more platforms later this year – supporting further news consumption growth, thanks to the company’s free ad-supported streaming TV (FAST) service.
      In the U.S., LG Smart TV users can access a wide array of news channels through LG Channels News Hub, a curated source for free, ad-supported news channels. The News Hub is made possible through partnerships with multiple leading national and local broadcasters whose channels are available in the News Hub, including NBCUniversal, Disney, FOX Television Stations, Bloomberg Media, Warner Bros. Discovery, Allen Media Group’s Local Now, E.W. Scripps, Sinclair Broadcast Group and others. In addition, users can still access news channels through the Electronic Program Guide (EPG) on their LG Smart TVs.
      LG Channels also provides localized content from Local Now channels, Allen Media Group’s free news streaming service, which delivers over 220 local channels in every U.S. ZIP code.
      Expanding its offerings for Spanish-speaking viewers, LG collaborated with NBCUniversal News Group earlier this year to introduce Telemundo Station Group’s 24/7 streaming news channels. These channels – Telemundo Noticias California, Telemundo Noticias Texas, Telemundo Noticias Florida and Telemundo Noticias Noreste – deliver regional news coverage.
      These partnerships have been a key driver of the double-digit linear growth the LG Channels service has seen in the U.S., year-over-year. LG’s efforts to strengthen regional news access through LG Channels were recognized in June 2025 with the Award for Achievement in Local Broadcasting at the ITVT/TVOT 21st Annual Awards for Leadership in Interactive and Multiplatform Television. This honor underscores the company’s commitment to advancing news content delivery through partnerships with trusted local broadcasters.
      “Our goal with LG Channels has always been to make high-quality, relevant content accessible to everyone,” said Chris Jo, head of the webOS Platform Business Center at the LG Media Entertainment Solution Company. “By working with trusted news providers and powerful broadcasters across regions and continuously improving how users discover and access content, we are making local and national news more approachable, timely and meaningful within everyday viewing.”
      LG Channels viewing time has increased in Mexico and Brazil as local news content becomes more available. In Mexico, major local broadcasters TV Azteca, Multimedios and Grupo Imagen joined LG Channels this year, strengthening its local news lineup. TV Azteca’s FIA has emerged as the most-watched channel among the 190 channels available on LG Channels in Mexico, underscoring strong demand for quality local news. These additions have driven a 95 percent year-over-year increase in viewing hours in Mexico.
      In Brazil, LG Channels has expanded local news offerings with the launch of New Brasil in partnership with Grupo Bandeirantes – one of the country’s leading broadcasters – CNN Brasil, and Times Brasil – Licenciado Exclusivo CNBC. Since these launches, the platform’s viewing hours in Brazil have increased by more than 40 percent, with CNN Brasil the most-watched.
      LG also continues to expand the availability of local news content on LG Channels across Europe. In markets like the U.K. and France, news partnerships have driven strong month-over-month growth, with double-digit increases in viewership. Currently, over 100 news channels including BFM TV (France), GB News (UK), CNN International (UK, Germany, Austria and Switzerland), CNN Headlines (available in 16 European countries), Bloomberg Television (UK), Euronews IN DIRETTA (Italy) and CNN en Español (Spain) are available, with more channels, such as France 24, scheduled to launch soon.
      In Spain, LG Channels has added content through a landmark partnership with RTVE, the national public broadcaster. Viewers can now enjoy RTVE’s premium content for free, including flagship channels La 1, La 2 and Canal 24 Horas (24H) – the latter being a trusted source for real-time national and international news.
