While these days, CES pressers are little more than watching a video with some exec standing on stage talking about it, LG at least had the decency to physically roll out its much-anticipated Signature OLED T TV at its press conference today.

At LG’s CES press conference, Erik Kay of Google came onstage to say that “LG TVs will act as hubs for Google Home, so you can easily set up and control any Matter device, see and control LG, Google, and Google Home devices right from the TV or ThinQ app.”

The CES 2024 announcement lacked details on how this hub is part of reinventing its ThinQ smart home platform, but it will leverage what CEO William Cho called LG’s “Affectionate Intelligence” to make smart home setup and control easier and more intuitive.

I’m at LG’s press conference, where I’m hoping to get a first glimpse at the company’s new smart home robot “AI Agent.”
