The LG Magic Remote (AN-MR19BA) is poorly designed. The scroll wheel stopped working after minimal use, while the rest of the remote works fine. Instead of offering a repair, LG forces you to buy a new remote at a high cost. This feels like planned obsolescence. Why include a fragile scroll wheel when it’s not even essential? Avoid this product unless you’re okay with replacing it over minor issues. Zero stars.

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.

This new provider-focused, patient-centric healthcare solution will use innovative, non-invasive technology and remote monitoring capabilities to understand patient progress for multiple medical conditions and deliver healthcare therapies directly to patients in their homes. The solution will help healthcare providers effectively manage outcomes and provide assistance, guidance, communication and intervention via the internet, through an app-based patient portal to deliver quality care to patients.
