LG Electronics (LG), a board member of the Home Connectivity Alliance (HCA), will showcase a seamless smart home experience at CES 2023. Along with other HCA member companies, LG will demonstrate the interoperability enabled under the new HCS Specification 1.0, whereby smart home solutions from different brands work together seamlessly to deliver true connected convenience in the home.

Inside HCA’s booth at CES, LG will be exhibiting its latest smart home appliances – including the MoodUP refrigerator, WashTower laundry solution, ARTCOOL Gallery air conditioner, and Puri with Care AeroTower – together with those from other alliance members. Visitors will be able to see the realization of HCA’s “Any app to any device” vision, which presents users with the ability to manage each brand’s products via each brand’s smart control app, such as LG’s intuitive ThinQ app. This new level of interoperability is currently supported by HCA member companies including LG.

Utilizing existing industry standards to define Cloud-to-Cloud (C2C) interoperability guidelines, the new HCA Specification 1.0 has been established to ensure that home appliances, TVs and HVAC systems can interoperate seamlessly with one another, irrespective of brand. In addition to newly-launched models, consumers can continue using the smart home appliances and HVAC solutions, customers have already owned at home and are covered by HCA Specification 1.0, without having to install any major firmware updates.

Furthermore, HCA Specification 1.0 will help member companies to make the smart home more sustainable in the future, leveraging data collected from across the alliance members’ applications to gain insight into usage and improve energy management.

“As a member of HCA, LG is contributing to the realization of a safe, secure and interoperable connected home ecosystem,” said Lyu Jae-cheol, president of the LG Electronics Home Appliance & Air Solution Company. “Through collaboration and open innovation, we will continue to provide consumers with solutions for a smarter, more convenient way of living.”

Visitors to HCA’s booth (#52739, Smart Home Hall, The Venetian Expo) at CES 2023 from January 5-8 in Las Vegas can experience the interoperability of HCA Member companies’ latest smart home solutions.

At the first virtual CES, LG Electronics (LG) will unveil new InstaView Door-In-Door refrigerators that boast upgraded features and design innovators for improved user convenience. The revolutionized side-by-side refrigerator models feature a larger glass panel along with a modern flat door design, new Uvnano technology built into the water dispenser to reduce bacteria, and the exclusive LG Craft Ice inside. LG is also introducing models with new InstaView voice recognition technology to take hands-free convenience to a whole new level.

LG’s iconic InstaView Door-In-Door technology is receiving convenience-enhancing updates in 2021. Helping to minimize cold air loss and extended food freshness, the LG InstaView panel illuminates the interior of the refrigerator with just two quick knocks on the transparent glass so users can see inside without opening the door, while Door-In-Door technology helps organize everyday favorites for quick and easy access to often-used items without having to open the entire refrigerator.

New 2021 side-by-side models offer a larger, more immersive tinted glass panel that complements the new seamless stainless-steel flat door panel design for the ultimate elegant aesthetic never before offered on side-by-side configurations. With a 23 percent larger InstaView window than previous models, seeing what’s inside is easier than ever.

LG’s new InstaView refrigerators also incorporate LG’s Uvnano technology that harnesses the power of light to effortlessly and effectively help maintain a hygienic and germ-free water dispenser. First introduced in 2017 on the company’s most premium water dispenser products Uvnano helps remove up to 99.99 percent of bacteria on the refrigerator’s dispenser after 24 hours.

A CES 2021 Innovation Awards Best of Innovation winner, the new LG InstaView refrigerator with voice recognition makes time spent in the kitchen more productive and more convenient. Consumers no longer have to struggle to open the refrigerator when their hands are full of groceries. New voice recognition technologies let users speak simple voice commands like “Open the refrigerator door.” LG’s interactive voice technology also makes it possible to ask the refrigerator for today’s agenda or to check the status of the ice and water dispensers. And with Amazon Dash Replenishment, homeowners can order replacement water filters automatically by linking their Amazon account with the LG ThinQ app.

Every new InstaView product in the lineup incorporates LG’s proven freshness-enhancing systems, LINEARCooling and DoorCooling+. LINEARCooling minimizes temperature fluctuations – the main cause of food spoilage – while DoorCooling+ simultaneously cools the entire refrigerator compartment evenly by distributing powerful airflow from a strategically positioned vent.

Debuting in InstaView French-Door refrigerators last year, LG Craft Ice is now coming to Side-by-Side InstaView refrigerators in 2021. The two-inch, slow melting ice balls generated by the LG Craft Ice system makes drinks look great while keeping them cool longer.

The 2021 LG Instaview refrigerator lineup will be in display in LG’s virtual exhibition booth during CES 2021.

LG Electronics (LG) is setting the standard for the TV industry once again with its most impressive premium TV lineup yet, featuring OLED, QLED Mini LED and NanoCell TVs. Featuring a CES 2021 Best of Innovation Award winner (model OLED 48C1) as well as several Innovation Award honorees, LG’s premium TV lineup has been upgraded inside and out with technology and features such as a new OLED panel, a new advanced LED panel structure that combines Quantum NanoCell Color Technology with mini LED backlighting for enhanced brightness, deeper black, and brilliant color, and upgraded AI processor, a redesigned webOS as well as a stunning new look for 2021.

LG’s 2021 OLED TV lineup represents the company’s most comprehensive range of OLED TVs to date with exciting new models that come in more large sizes and build on the brand’s legacy of superior picture quality. LG’s newest G1series features OLED evo, the next step in the evolution of OLED TV technology that delivers better luminosity for bright and punchy images with amazing clarity, detail and realism.

When it comes to the ultimate viewing experience of OLEG, LG is offering consumers more choices than ever before. The exceptional LG C1 series boasts a diverse range of size options from the 48-inch version favored by avid gamers to the new 83-inch model which will have all the neighbors inviting themselves over on movie night. What’s more, the new optional Gallery Stand (sold separately) is an attractive alternative to the sleek, flush-to-the-wall Gallery Design mount for those who desire more flexibility in their interior planning.

LG’s latest intelligent processor, the α (Alpha) 9 Gen 4 AI, revamps the performance on the newest LG OLED TV models in the G1 and C1 series, LG QNED MiniLED TV models QNED99 and QNED95 and LG NanoCell TV models NANO99 and NANO95. The processor leverages deep learning to analyze and optimize content, making content of any quality look picture-perfect on the large, self-emissive displays. The α9 Gen 4 processor features AI Picture Pro, which recognizes content, removes noise, and optimizes picture quality. And the new Scene Detection feature can now analyze the type of scene being shown and improve the picture accordingly.

LG’s latest OLED TVs offer an exceptionally intuitive user experience thanks to the company’s updated webOS 6.0 smart TV platform. With a completely redesigned New Home screen as well as performance and feature improvements, webOS 6.0 provides faster access to apps and simpler content discovery capability with even more personalized recommendations. Pared with an improved Magic Remote that includes hot keys for popular content providers, LG’s new webOS offers users the ability to more easily control and navigate LG’s next-generation TVs and the growing webOS ecosystem.

Acknowledged by consumers, tech experts and some of the biggest names in the film industry as the best displays around, LG OLED TVs continue to raise the bar for image quality. With the company’s self-lit pixel technology, the panels featured in the 2021 lineup offer perfect blacks and have been certified as having 100 percent color fidelity by the global testing agency Intertek.

LG OLED TVs have also earned a reputation as the best TVs for both console and PC gaming. LG’s 2021 OLED TVs are equipped with new features such as a Game Optimizer along with a 1 millisecond response time, low input lag and four ports supporting the latest HDMI specifications.

Not only does Game Optimizer, featured in all LG 2021 webOS TVs including QNED MiniLED and NanoCell TVs, allow users the ability to access all game-related settings in one convenient place, but also automatically applies the best picture settings according to the type of game being played, whether it is a first-person shooter, role-playing game or real-time strategy title. For exhilarating big-screen gaming, LG OLED TVs are G-SYNC Compatible, FreeSync Premium supported and feature variable refresh rate (VRR), all of which can be managed within the Game Optimizer.
