LG’s Wide Hover Screen concept combines a 20-inch central console display and ultra-short-throw projector to create a large heads-up display on the windshield. It builds upon LG’s UltraView Windshield Display designed to help drivers keep their eyes on the road by minimizing unnecessary eye movement.

Despite being out on parental leave, LG’s willingness to force ads onto its monitors and televisions has Tom Warren in a fighting mood when he should be making coo coo sounds at his new son.
It may never come to the US, but LG announced its new HomeBot AI Objet Collection Roni robot vacuum in South Korea today. Its charging/cleaning dock can be hidden in kitchen cabinetry (requiring some reno) but there’s also a standalone dock that looks like a nondescript side table.
The upgraded StanbyMe 2 Max TV that was unveiled in April is now available to buy in the US for $1,299.99.

After debuting at CES 2025, the StanbyMe 2 launched last July with a 27-inch 1440p display (the original was only 1080p). Less than a year later LG is introducing a new 32-inch version with a resolution bump to 4K and a slightly longer 4.5 hour battery. It’s launching in South Korea for around $1,080 but US availability hasn’t been confirmed.
JerryRigEverything tore down LG’s unreleased rollable smartphone, and seeing the insides of this phone and how it works is just awesome. The teardown proper starts at about 4 minutes and 20 seconds.
The household robot made its debut at the company’s CES 2026 press conference, rolling onto the stage and giving a ponderous demo of putting a towel into a laundry machine.
The sizable wheeled robot used its articulating arms and huge hands to perform the action and talked to the audience about its technology and capabilities, using human-like hand gestures to emphasize its words.
I’m at LG’s CES press conference, awaiting a glimpse of CLOiD, its new household robot. Two words, LG: Live. Demo.
Will we get a closer look at its laundry-folding CLOiD robot? You can tune into the livestream below or directly on YouTube.
Longtime Verge readers will know: art TVs are not good TVs. But there’s a reason manufacturers keep making more of them.
Holmeser:
Manufacturers simply can’t resist the appeal of a low-quality LCD panel they can sell for the price of an OLED

The company announced a third quarter profit of KRW 688.9 billion (around $480 million) despite losses of about half that from its TV division, which it hopes to fix through “advancements in advertising.”
It’s the rare company to call out US tariffs directly, though it doesn’t blame them for the TV shortfall.
LG’s massive Magnit Active Micro LED TV will hit the South Korean market on October 21st with the North American market following later.
No pricing is listed, but considering a 118-inch model in 2023 was $237,000, we expect this new one to be as much as a small house.

Nvidia didn’t provide specific model names, but it’ll be a native app for monitors and TV with 5K120 and 4K120 HDR streaming. “No Android TV devices, no Chromecast, nothing, run it directly on the television,” says Nvidia product marketing director Andrew Fear. More on GeForce Now’s big upgrade:
LG Display is showing off “the world’s fastest OLED monitor panel” at K-Display in Seoul this week. The 27-inch OLED panel has a 540Hz refresh rate at native 1440p resolution, and it can also deliver a 720Hz refresh rate in a 720p mode.
LG Display also has a 45-inch 5K2K OLED panel (5120 x 2160), which it says “boasts the world’s highest resolution among existing OLED monitor panels.” Hopefully, this means we’ll see a lot more OLED monitor options at CES early next year.
Correction, August 20th: LG Display now says the 720Hz mode is 720p, not 1080p. It previously asked us to correct our story to say it was 1080p, not 720p, but then asked for a second correction saying the opposite.
After announcing the funky portable TV at CES in January, LG is now starting to roll it out in global stores. It’s already listed in Canada for CA$1,799 (about $1,169) and Singapore for SG$1,599.99 (about $1,248) with tax included in the prices, and will be available in the US and Vietnam this month, with prices to be determined. After that, the StanbyME 2 will arrive in the UK, Germany, France, and Spain in August.
LG Display’s 100ppi automotive stretchable display can “turn every interior space into a display,” including the center fascia area where it can expand by up to 50 percent to transform into raised buttons and dials. “When the screen is touched, the previously flat display flexibly expands and protrudes touch buttons, making it easy to operate even while driving,” says the company. It doesn’t say how much it’ll cost to repair.
The company says it’s the first in the world ready to mass produce OLED panels with blue phosphorescence, a project 20 years in the making. It calls it “the final piece of the ‘dream OLED’ puzzle.”
Following reports it had developed the tech last year, LG now says it’s ready to manufacture tandem panels that use both fluorescence and phosphorescence, reducing power consumption by 15 percent, starting with smartphones and tablets.
The company’s Zero Connect Box has trickled down from its 2023 flagship to the new QNED9MA TV. The Mini LED television is available in 65- ($1,799.99), 75- (2,299.99), and 86-inch ($3,499.99) models. That’s not cheap, but it’s 10x less than you would have paid to get that zero-latency wireless audio and video tech when first introduced .
“We are optimizing our production locations and also considering price hikes,” said Lucky Goldstar’s senior vice president Kim I-kueon. South-Korea based LG might move the manufacturing of home appliances like washers and dryers to its factory in Tennessee, where it could cover nearly one-fifth of LG’s total home appliance sales in the US market.
