LG’s bringing a 98-inch QNED Mini LED to CES 2024, and a promise for webOS upgrades.

We’ll have more news about LG’s 2024 TV lineup (including new OLEDs) once it’s all revealed in Las Vegas, but the most intriguing part of this pre-CES press release is a guarantee of future smart TV software updates, similar to what we’ve seen recently on phones like Google’s Pixel 8 series:

With the webOS Re:New program,* LG is offering an upgrade to the latest version of its webOS smart TV platform to give more smart TV owners the most up-to-date user experience for the next five years. This notable offer comes to LG QNED Mini LED 8K models launched in 2022 (QNED99 and QNED95 series) and will be extended to additional models in the QNED TV lineup worldwide in the future.

A footnote mentions, “...this upgrade does not cover the TV’s hardware performance, features or durability,” so we’ll have to find out what it does cover in a few days.

Correction December 28th, 12:30PM: An earlier version said Mini OLED, the TVs mentioned are Mini LED. We regret the error.

A 480Hz refresh rate on an OLED monitor?

LG has pre-announced half a dozen new OLED gaming monitors, the most interesting of which is the 32-inch 32GS95UE. By default it’s a 4K monitor with a 240Hz refresh rate, but with the push of a button it can double this refresh rate to 480Hz at the expense of its resolution falling to 1080p. Hopefully we’ll get a chance to learn more about this “Dual-Hz” feature at CES next month.

LG developed a transparent antenna for car windshields or sunroofs.

The company’s “film-type antenna” will work either attached to glass or built into it and supports 5G, Wi-Fi, and navigation using GNSS. LG says this will free carmakers from designing and building custom housing for traditional antennas.

LG didn’t say in its announcement when the tech will appear in cars, but it plans to show it off at CES in January.

OLED TV sales slump for (un)Lucky Goldstar.

No Olympics, no World Cup, and everyone that wanted a giant 4K TV bought one while suffering at home with covid. Little wonder LG Display has posted six straight quarterly losses.

LG’s new Gram Pro is a three-pound laptop with an RTX GPU inside — a great achievement for LG and a fairly niche product for the rest of us.

Sometimes, you just have to take action.

Like when LG releases a 27-inch suitcase TV. We got a better look at the StanByMe Go at IFA this week, but one commenter just couldn’t wait that long, and I’m so glad he didn’t.

Screenshot of Verge comment by brianb722: My preorder I made the day The Verge posted the first story on the StanbyME was delivered almost two weeks ago. Used it last weekend out by the pool with the kids and next to the living room TV to watch two college football games at once. It is indeed heavy. My 7-year-old spent maybe an hour playing the games that came pre-installed and they were pretty shallow. Kind of like what you’d get on the tablet restaurants were briefly putting onto every table.

Maybe I’ve been thinking about travel all wrong.

I don’t spend a lot of time on The Points Guy or scrolling through vacation destination photos on Instagram, but what if the problem is just that I’ve been using the wrong luggage?

Give me this suitcase TV from LG and a backpack with my Xbox, and I might even rethink my no-Airbnb policy (it’s not a vacation if I have to do my own dishes).

Got $30,000 for a new TV?

LG’s OLED M3 TVs, which are wireless save for a single power cord, will cost $4,999.99 in the US for the 77-inch model, $7,999.99 for 83-inches, and $29,999.99 for 97-inches. Orders are expected to open later this month, Digital Trends reports, almost eight months after we saw the 97-inch version for ourselves at CES in January.

LG is going to support that hotel AirPlay thing.

It wasn’t the biggest announcement at WWDC this year, but Apple debuting TV AirPlay in hotels is a welcome thing, and LG announced Thursday it’ll support it on LG Pro:Centric Smart Hotel TVs later this year (via MacRumors).

When you encounter one, you’ll be able to connect and start AirPlaying TikToks or whatever by scanning a QR code on the TV.

AirPlay is coming to hotels.

Behold, LG’s just-announced 49-inch UltraGear gaming monitor.

You can read more about it on LG’s website. Wonder how it stacks up in practice to Samsung’s similarly-sized Odyssey G9.
