At ISE 2024, LG is unveiling a range of cutting-edge display solutions tailored for corporate environments. The showcase includes advanced, highly versatile products ideal for use in spaces such as meeting rooms, in-house XR studios, corporate rooms and control rooms.

One of the highlights of LG’s exhibition is the LG MAGNIT lineup of Micro LED displays. These displays offer an array of pixel pitch options, ranging from 0.68 to 1.25 millimeters, and come with features dedicated to the installation environments to satisfy the diverse needs of customers from across the corporate world. Standout models include the 136-inch LG MAGNIT All-in-One with 4K resolution – a convenient solution for conference rooms featuring a controller and integrated speaker – and the LG MAGNIT with Detachable Power Supply Unit (PSU), which delivers the security and scale necessary for control rooms. The company is also showing off the specialized Micro LED for in-house virtual production studios, which integrates seamlessly with a host of professional filming equipment.

LG MAGNIT All-in-One for Boardrooms

With a standard size of 136 inches, and available in 4K or 2K resolution, the outstanding LG MAGNIT All-in-One (model LAAA007 or LAAA015) is suitable for use in boardrooms, executive rooms and meeting rooms. The display offers exceptional viewing experiences through outstanding LG Micro LED technology and user convenience thanks to its standardized 16:9 aspect ratio screen and a built-in speaker and controller, while LG’s pre-assembled LED display modules (LDM) help streamline the installation process. The first LG all-in-one LED lineup to feature 4K resolution, the LAAA007 provides ultra-sharp images and crystal-clear text to deliver content clearly and effectively.

Designed with adaptability and ease-of-use in mind, the LG MAGNIT All-in-One has controls and ports – including power, HDMI and USB – conveniently located on the lower screen bezel. This makes it simple to adjust sound and picture settings, and connect to different devices during meetings or presentations. The display also offers Picture in Picture (PIP) and Picture by Picture (PBP) modes, allowing users to present multiple materials simultaneously on its large screen.

LG MAGNIT for Virtual Production

More corporations are now establishing their own virtual production studios, a move that enables them to produce a wide variety of communications content – such as intra-company broadcasts, commercials and CEO presentation films – in house. LG has responded to this trend with the introduction of its Micro LED solutions for virtual production – represented at ISE 2024 by model LBAG015 – which provide seamless integration with cameras, lighting and other filming equipment, and deliver a smooth video-recording process with its high refresh rate (7,680Hz) and high frame rate (23.98 to 120Hz).

The Micro LED for virtual production can be powered by the cutting-edge LED processing platform HELIOS from Megapixel, which enhances the user interface and user experience with features offered by HELIOS such as real-time mapping and color calibration, multi-user control, and precise color control. The structure of LG’s Micro LED solution is engineered to minimize color distortion, preserving image accuracy across a wide viewing angle – a feature that makes the advanced display particularly well-suited for large-screen configurations.

LG MAGNIT displays are designed with the safety of users and the installation environment in mind. LG MAGNIT series has undergone testing, encompassing the surface spread of flame, color consistency from various viewing angles, and electromagnetic compatibility.^*

LG MAGNIT With Detachable PSU for Control Rooms

The LG MAGNIT with detachable PSU (model LSAQ009) is an impressive 163-inch display designed primarily for situation rooms and control rooms in government offices and corporate HQs. It is also an excellent choice for small to medium-sized enterprises that prioritize reliability.

The detachable-PSU design of the LG MAGNIT enables swift and efficient management. In the event of a power supply failure, it can be promptly addressed by simply replacing the PSU, without having to access the rear of the display. In addition to this streamlined design, the LG MAGNIT delivers stunning picture quality. With LG’s Micro LED technology, it produces vivid, high-contrast and highly detailed images with colors that remain true from a wide range of viewing angles.

A company that believes in the value of collaboration, LG is partnering with leading innovators from various sectors to develop a range of customized solutions catering to the specific needs of corporate customers. These collaborative efforts extend to audio and video equipment for conference rooms and other corporate spaces, while LG’s partners include conference solution providers, eavesdropping detection solution provider, studio filming specialists and interior design companies. With its active collaboration strategy, LG is continually broadening its scope of expertise and expanding its lineup of solutions.

In addition to MAGNIT displays for corporate use, LG’s ISE 2024 showcase includes the 171-inch 21:9 LED All-in-One, a 105-inch 21:9 LCD screen optimized for video conferencing platforms. With their 21:9 ratio, these displays are ideal for displaying content and participants’ information during conferences, offering a wide field of view and ample screen space for a seamless conference experience.

The company’s attention-grabbing displays combine outstanding technology and sleek designs, and highlight LG’s sincere and ongoing commitment to delivering cutting-edge solutions that satisfy the needs of diverse businesses.

New employees are one of the most valuable customers of a company and they’re also a key driving force behind its future growth. Recognizing their significance, it’s just common sense for businesses to listen to their voices as much as they listen to what consumers have to say.

In recent surveys conducted in South Korea,* it was found that Gen Zers, in particular, chose ‘Opportunities for Personal Growth’ and ‘Personal Growth and Self-realization’ as key factors for a satisfactory work life. It was clear that demand for self-development at the workplace was growing amongst younger generations. In line with such findings, LG has been running various training programs aimed at promoting the career growth of its new software developers while at the same time seeking to create a productive and strong relationship-bonding corporate culture.

One such program is the recently renamed LG Bootcamp – initially created in 2011 as the No.1 New Software Developer Training Course. The program has evolved to provide training for not only the employees of LG but also other LG Group affiliates. It effectively supports the growth of participants by providing interesting and enjoyable, yet highly demanding missions on a daily basis. The program focuses on emphasizing collaboration over competition and embracing the notion that failure is part of the learning process.

LG Bootcamp is divided into two courses: the Proficiency Course and the Project Course. The Proficiency Course specializes in enhancing basic programming skills to help new developers pass the company’s software programming proficiency test. Successful candidates then progress to the Project Course, where they form teams to work on actual software development projects.

A total of 240 new software developers participated in four Bootcamp sessions this year. In the Project Course of the third session, participants formed 19 teams and were divided into two projects: the Embedded Software Path and Data Science Path. Over a four-week period, these teams diligently worked on their respective projects, and the top two teams from each Path emerged as candidates for the Software Fighter contest – a platform showcasing the most outstanding projects of the entire course.

In the initial presentation round, teams from the Embedded Software Path showcased their projects, focusing on the intricate task of designing and implementing a multi-process operating system kernel based on a simplified operating system design. The first team unveiled ‘My One and Only OS,’ a multi-processing operating system supporting a memory monitoring app, while the second team shared their developmental journey, highlighting the challenges and triumphs of their operating system project.

Subsequently, the Data Science Path teams took the stage for the second round. Their projects revolved around constructing AI models and seamlessly integrating them into embedded boards. The first team introduced ‘Alpi,’ an AI speaker capable of understanding users’ emotions and delivering personalized services, while the second team introduced a unique cloud game facilitating enjoyable turtle-neck correction exercises through facial movements.

The caliber displayed by the new developers during the presentations garnered admiration from the judging panel. Among them, Kwak Jung-ho, head of HE Service Platform Development Division, emphasized that, “in the age of generative AI, the importance of being able to strategize, oversee and identify suitable program applications will rise significantly, surpassing the significance of coding proficiency.”

The event wrapped up with the Ignite session, a program that always marks the end of LG’s Software Developer Conference. During the event, the trainees had the opportunity to showcase their talents on stage. Many of the new employees showed interest in various forms of art, such as singing, playing musical instruments, dancing and sports. The theme of the Ignite session, “Art,” was chosen to highlight the connections and inspiration between technology and art. Two individuals stood out with their impressive breakdance and K-POP composition performances, leaving the audience captivated and inspired in just five minutes.

“The Bootcamp provides an opportunity to explore a spectrum of LG products, including cloud computing, artificial intelligence, metaverse and web 3.0,” said Eom Wi-sang, head of Software Engineering R&D Lab. “I hope you all become developers embraced everywhere by acquiring the ability to trust colleagues and navigate complex concepts.”

While coding is a fundamental aspect of software development, LG Bootcamp recognizes that software developers require a diverse skill set encompassing software knowledge, technical expertise, requirements analysis, communication skills, teamwork and creativity. Acknowledging the long and challenging journey to becoming a software expert, LG Bootcamp seeks to transform aspiring software developers into seasoned professionals, continuously enhancing their capabilities.

The commitment to the growth of new developers entering the LG Group remains steadfast. LG Bootcamp pledges ongoing development efforts to provide continuous improvement and unwavering support. Observers are encouraged to keep a watchful eye on the transformative journey of LG’s new developers as they evolve into seasoned software experts, propelled by a supportive environment.

Unveiled globally as a pivotal step in LG’s brand reinvention, the ‘Life’s Good with Optimism’ campaign is a vibrant celebration of a rejuvenated brand persona. Presenting a more dynamic and youthful brand identity, it encourages customers to approach life with optimism amid global uncertainty. LG has passionately aspired to share the revitalised brand philosophy and personify the essence of Life’s Good, while empowering people to find positivity in their everyday lives.

Following the global launch of the campaign in 2023, LG Australia celebrated the campaign with a series of media activities and a celebration with employees at its new Australian offices in Parramatta, Sydney. The company showcased how the recognisable Life’s Good slogan, first coined in Australia in 1999 as a reflection of the Aussie zest for life, inspires the next generation to embrace life with bravery.

LG collaborated with campaign ambassador and renowned musician turned athlete Cody Simpson, whose journey embodies the characteristics of brave optimism, overcoming challenges and defying expectations. Ahead of the celebrations, Cody Simpson spoke with Channel 7 Sunrise and News Corporation about the campaign and his story of being an ambassador and approaching life with positivity, in a bid to carve his own path. Sunrise ran a week-long LG product giveaway with the LG StanbyME, LG TONE earbuds and LG gram – innovations that align with the wants and needs of young Australians.

Prior to his interview, Cody participated in an inspiring panel discussion at the Life’s Good with Optimism celebratory, hosted at LG’s new Australian office. Livestreamed from his training pool on the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia, Cody was joined by author and artist Emma Carey and LG Australia Marketing Director, Gemma Lemieux, for a discussion about optimism and positivity, facilitated by Australian media personality and Sunrise consumer correspondent Shaun White.

Discussing what is behind the campaign in Australia with Gemma Lemieux, Cody and Emma shared pivotal moments where embracing optimism set them on a path to lead better lives. Media, influencers and LG Australia employees around the country listened to the panel both in person and virtually, where Cody shared more about his late-in-life career change, while Emma talked about her journey of learning to walk again after falling 14,000 feet (about half the height of Mount Everest) in a skydiving accident.

Meanwhile, a Life’s Good reporter circled the local Parramatta area and the LG office interviewing consumers and employees on camera to better understand and uncover what locally are the sources of happiness and optimism for the future.

The Life’s Good with Optimism campaign was not complete without celebrating LG Australia’s employees. Upon arrival to the office, each staff member was greeted with a heart-shaped cookie and at their desk, a red candy apple awaited featuring an optimism affirmation and a red heart-shaped balloon.

In a bid to reiterate the brand-love employees have for LG, they were invited to complete the ‘Optimism Tour’, taking part in a series of activities for their chance to win prizes. From playing giant jenga and shooting a hole-in-one at mini putt-putt to capturing a photo for the ‘Life’s Good Mosaic Mural’ and taking on a colleague in a game of ping-pong, employees had the chance to let their hair down and truly experience Life’s Good.

LG’s Life’s Good with Optimism campaign activation reflected the company’s commitment to positivity, inspiring individuals in Australia and around the world, and creating meaningful influence in challenging times.

From horses and carriages to cars, airplanes, and now drones and hyperloops, innovations in transportation have consistently reshaped human life, making it easier for people to live life on the go. Meanwhile, the rise of OTT platforms has given people the freedom to watch their favorite content at their convenience, anytime and anywhere. However, limitations persisted in terms of screen devices that wouldn’t allow content to be consumed wherever one may desire, until the debut of the LG StanbyME and LG StanbyME Go.

The StanbyME lineup began with an experimental question posed by a designer at LG’s HE Design Lab: “What if my TV could move to wherever I am, whenever I want to watch it?” This was the moment of curiosity that sparked innovation, transforming and reimagining the TV experience.

From the outset, the designs of the two Lifestyle Screens had to be different, as the LG HE Design Lab team was given the challenge to conceptualize a screen that could be ‘on the go.’ Deviating from the traditional TV design, the team created a product with no complex components visible on the back, featuring a simple frame and minimalist edge stand to maximize space utilization and deliver flexibility that blends into any composition.

With the appearance and functionality of a carry bag, the StanbyME Go is purposefully designed to withstand shock, vibration and chemical reactions, providing unparalleled portability and durability. For a heightened experience with better interaction, the display movement intends to closely match the user’s posture.

Traditionally, portability has not been closely associated with TV products, but LG sought to pioneer versatile lifestyle screens that expand the role of TVs far beyond image broadcasting. The StanbyME and StanbyME Go are companions for everyday life; they can transform into recipe books when cooking in the kitchen, sheet music when playing the piano, and small outdoor movie theaters when camping, reimagining the way users engage with TVs.

When selecting which TV to purchase, the foremost consideration should be how well it fits into your space. With the ability to easily change their location, the StanbyME and StanbyME Go stand out as exceptional choices to set the ideal mood in any space.

Unlocking new possibilities for creating unique mood and experiences, the StanbyME and StanbyME Go offer portability that allows users to carry or position them wherever they desire. Enjoy a movie night in your cozy bedroom, soft music on the terrace of your home café, a workout in your home gym or a celebration message in a party room. With unbounded imagination, the possibilities are endless.

However, why limit your TV experience to the indoors? The StanbyME Go has created new on-the-go entertainment opportunities for outdoor use with its great portability and versatility. The StanbyME Go can serve as a digital campfire for relaxed downtime or transform into a lively board game hub during family road trips. Featuring a turntable skin that enables users to immerse themselves in music and create a relaxing mood on the beach, this all-round lifestyle screen ensures hours of enjoyable entertainment for all.

For more on how the LG HE Design Lab delivers new experiences and enriches your lifestyle with innovative designs, stay tuned to the LG Newsroom.
