LG Electronics has revealed the latest addition to its LG MAGNIT lineup of premium Micro LED displays, ushering in a new era of home entertainment with the awe-inspiring 118-inch LG MAGNIT Micro LED TV. This groundbreaking display combines cutting-edge technology with an expansive screen, and it can be yours for $237,000 (that's quite a bargain compared to his larger 136-inch brother, who is priced at $300,000).
The new LG MAGNIT (model LSAL006) boasts a colossal 118-inch display with an impressive 4K resolution (3,840 x 2,160 pixels). This mammoth screen, equivalent to approximately 3 meters diagonally, is designed to transform your living space into a cinematic haven.
LG's Micro LED technology takes center stage, with minuscule 0.68-millimeter pixel pitch, ensuring crystal-clear imagery. Micro LEDs are known for their ability to emit their own light, providing a mesmerizing contrast and vivid color reproduction. LG has further enhanced the visual experience with its Surface Treatment technology, which should deliver impeccable image quality that captivates viewers.
Powering the LG MAGNIT is the 6th-generation Alpha 9 Intelligent Processor. This AI-driven processor analyzes scenes in real-time, recognizing faces, objects, text, and backgrounds. It adapts the image quality accordingly, making the viewing experience more immersive and lifelike. Automatic genre-based picture optimization, AI brightness control, facial detail enhancement, and text upscaling all contribute to an exceptional viewing experience.
The TV features LG's renowned webOS smart TV platform, granting easy access to a plethora of popular streaming services, including Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, and YouTube. The built-in 50W speakers, placed on both sides of the screen, offer a robust 4.2-channel stereo experience, elevating the audio quality to match the stunning visuals. Enhanced audio return channel (eARC) support ensures cinematic sound quality.
Connectivity options are abundant, with support for Apple AirPlay 2 and Miracast for screen mirroring from iOS and Android devices. Four HDMI 2.1 ports enable seamless connections to compatible devices, while Bluetooth and WiSA Ready provide wireless audio options. Installation is flexible, offering both wall-mounting and stand-type options.
At the recent CEDIA Expo 2023 in Denver, Colorado, LG demonstrated how pairing the LG MAGNIT with Bang & Olufsen's premium home audio solutions elevates the home theater experience to new heights. LG's ongoing collaboration with Bang & Olufsen, beginning with the 136-inch model and now extending to the 118-inch LG MAGNIT, promises customers an extraordinary home cinema experience.
Paik Ki-mun, Senior Vice President and Head of the Information Display Business Unit of LG Electronics Business Solutions Company said: “The new LG MAGNIT introduces our state-of-the-art Micro LED display technology to private homes, allowing residential customers to experience impressive picture quality on a cinematic scale.
We will continue to expand our lineup of Micro LED products for home use; complementing the new 118-inch model and previously released 136-inch model with innovative solutions that further strengthen our leadership in the premium display market.”
The LG MAGNIT 118-inch display is now available in the U.S. for $237,000 at LG's official website, and it will become available in global markets starting this month.
