LG Electronics Evolves In-Room Technology Offerings with HDTVs and On-Screen Applications Tweet

Designed to personalize the guest experience, Pro:Centric technology introduces new ways for hotels to communicate with guests.

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Continuing to lead the industry with guest and hotel centric technology, LG Electronics is showcasing its Pro:Centric™ technology, 3D capable TVs and the latest LCD and plasma flat panel displays at the 2010 Hospitality Industry Technology Conference and Exposition (HITEC) in booth #215.

"LG Electronics is providing the hospitality and lodging industry new ways to cater to guests by providing display technology that enhances their stay and brings all the amenities of the property to their fingertips," said Ron Snaidauf, vice president, Business Solutions, LG Electronics USA, Inc. "LG's Pro:Centric TVs go beyond sleek flat panel displays with high definition technology, they bring a more immersive and connected experience for the guest and the hotel."

Pro:Centric Applications

Since introducing its Pro:Centric technology, a standards-based applications platform designed to enable hotels to easily communicate up-to-the-minute information, LG has expanded the technology on several new HDTV series with the LD650H and LD320H. Through this technology, guests can book room service, spa services, and golf course schedules at the touch of the remote (interactive feature not available in commercial lite LD320H series).

Hoteliers can now customize the entire in-room experience providing guests with an Electronic Interactive Program Guide with advanced channel search and selection capabilities. Additionally, hoteliers can customize the welcome menu with unique authoring tools and java enabled technologies which allow for easy, branded information sharing.

Beyond guest-centric technologies, Pro:Centric also provides a cost-effective way for hotels to deliver uniform services and features across both RF (radio frequency) and IP (Internet protocol) based networks.

Both new Pro:Centric series support Java and Flash applications, extending programming boundaries for hotels including the ability to run highly customized applications or services. With built-in b-LAN™, as well as all other FTG system providers, these Pro:Centric models with Pro:Idiom eliminate the need for an added card to provide this function. Additionally, hoteliers can map channels and clone commercial installer settings for each room's display when b-LAN is connected to LG's centralized, head-end FMA-LG101 system. Both models also incorporate Pro:Idiom, the de facto standard digital rights management system that assures the availability of high-value HD content in hospitality settings.

Both LCD HDTV models are also ENERGY STAR® 4.1 qualified and RoHS compliant. For versatility and excellent picture quality, the LD650H series is available in a 32-, 37-, 42-, 47- and 55-inch class sizes* and displays content in full 1080p HD (32-inch class displays are 720p) with a 50,000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio for a clean, crisp picture. The LD320H is available in 26-, 32-, 37- and 42-inch class sizes* and incorporates the same picture quality specifications (26- and 32-inch class displays are 720p).

Stylish Flat Panel Entertainment

LG has several new series of LED, LCD and plasma TVs for in-room entertainment options. Headlining these new series is the LE540C, which incorporates LED backlighting, providing deeper black level and more vibrant colors for a crisper picture. Available in 42- and 55-inch class sizes*, the LE540C has a 1080p screen resolution which provides guests with a full high-definition experience for optimum viewing of HD content in the room or suite.

For larger HDTV options, LG also has the 50- and 60-inch class size* PK550C plasma. This plasma model is a perfect complement for any suite or lobby as it incorporates Full HD 1080p resolution and a 3,000,000:1 contrast ratio. Other features on this model include Smart Energy Savings which allows hoteliers to set energy consumption level and Intelligent Sensor which automatically adjusts picture brightness based on the amount of light in the room, saving energy.

For hoteliers looking to upgrade their CRTs to standard CCFL LCD HDTVs, LG has the LD450 series, available in 37-, 42-, and 47-inch class sizes*. This LCD provides hoteliers a variety of size options for the room and excellent picture with Full HD 1080p resolution and 120Hz refresh rate for crisp moving content. This model also includes Dynamic Power Savings which adjust the brightness level settings based on the incoming video, helping facilities save on energy costs and allowing for increased energy savings while still providing superior picture quality to guests. Also included is the Static Power Savings setting which allows the installer to set the preferred power consumption level.

Creating Connections with Remote Jack Packs

Beyond TVs, LG's Remote Jack Packs (RJPs) allow business travelers to multi-task on laptops and MP3 players while enjoying in-room entertainment on LG's compatible flat-panel TV. With a single cable connection to the back, these units allow for a variety of mount options (desk back splash, wall mount, desk or table top) so hoteliers don't have to worry about cluttering the room decor. Some of the newest models on display include the RJP-201M and RJP-401W. These models allow hotel guests the ability to connect their personal A/V devices to the TV for easy photo viewing, e-mail checking and more – all while watching TV. Additionally, these two models feature iPod docking, adding more entertainment options then earlier models.

3D for the Future

LG is showcasing 3D capable displays, which stand to become the future of hospitality and lodging in-room entertainment. LG's 3D TVs will blend a sleek design with 3D capabilities that will allow guests to enjoy 3D entertainment as if they were at the movies.

LG AIMS TO TAKE GLOBAL LEADERSHIP POSITION AS SOLAR ENERGY SOLUTION PROVIDER Tweet

LG AIMS TO TAKE GLOBAL LEADERSHIP POSITION AS SOLAR ENERGY SOLUTION PROVIDER
Aggressively Investing and Expanding Next Key Growth Business.

SEOUL – LG Electronics (LG) announced plans to significantly expand its solar business by investing USD 820 million (KRW 1 trillion) over the next five years toward its solar cell manufacturing facility in Gumi, 280 southeast of Seoul. Solar energy is one of the company’s key next-generation growth strategies and the investment will increase production capacity to more than 1 GW (gigawatt) and contribute to sales of USD 2.4 billion (KRW 3 trillion) by 2015.

LG completed construction of its first 120 MW (megawatt) capacity solar line in Gumi at the end of 2009 after converting a PDP module assembly line to produce solar panels. LG’s solar business officially launched this year with the plant starting full operation mass-producing crystalline solar cells and modules from silicon wafers. Production will be further expanded with the addition of another 120 MW solar cell line this year to increase its overall capacity to 240 MW.

At Intersolar, the world’s largest solar trade fair held in Germany in early June, LG drew the attention of solar energy dealers from around the world with the announcement that it had closed a deal for the entire 120 MW production yield for 2010 and had strong interest from buyers for its 2011 production as well.

“We are determined to make LG a leading player in the renewable solar energy business and our Gumi production facility is the centerpiece of this vision,” said Kwan-shik Cho, Vice President of LG’s Solar Business. “LG’s R&D, know-how and brand strength will be key factors in this effort.”

LG Electronics Offers Hospitality Industry Cost-Effective and Energy Efficient Climate Control Solutions at AAHOA 2010 Tweet

Sleek PTAC and Multi-V products enhance guest comfort with low-sound transmission and advanced air filtration.

CHICAGO -- Providing smart alternatives to both central HVAC and window-mounted air conditioners for hotels, LG Electronics is showcasing a range of HVAC solutions that are cost efficient, quiet and attractive at AAHOA 2010 (Booth #112). Designed to provide guests with enhanced comfort controls and hotels with advanced energy efficiency and management systems, LG HVAC products lead the industry in style and functionality.

"Hotel owners are continually looking for new ways to reduce their energy output without disturbing the guest experience or incurring extra costs," said Kelly Cutchins, vice president, Commercial Air Conditioning, LG Electronics USA, Inc. "To assist hoteliers with these needs, LG is proud to offer an ever-expanding line of commercial HVAC products that enhance guest comfort, simplify temperature controls and increase energy efficiency. From our PTAC and Multi-V lines to our advanced Environmental Control Manager, LG's products are designed with both the guest and the hotel operator in mind."

PTAC Units

Offering hotel and motel operators energy efficient solutions, LG's line of Packaged Terminal Air Conditioning (PTAC) models also feature low decibel levels and outstanding sound-prevention ratings making them a reliable choice for hoteliers who want to provide a quiet environment. These systems are available in lines of 7,200 – 14,700 BTU, delivering energy efficiency ratings (EER) from 9.0 to 11.6. Installation is easy and economical and motel operators will also appreciate that LG has introduced PTAC models with R-410A refrigerant.

Industry Leading Climate Controls

LG's versatile Multi-V line provides hotel owners more precise load-matching and simultaneous heating and cooling options throughout the building. These features are possible due to the utilization of innovative variable refrigerant flow technology that provides high efficiency at low sound levels.

LG's flexible floor standing units work with LG's Multi-V product, and are a cost-effective solution for hotel environments looking to retro-fit existing space. These duct-free floor standing indoor units feature LG's exclusive Chaos Swing with electronically controlled louvers that create air flow that is natural.

LG's Art Cool Inverter Mirror uses an advanced Inverter compressor technology, which continues to operate at low speed to maintain temperature providing quieter operation, and reduced energy output as compared to conventional systems. Another stylish HVAC option, LG's Art Cool Picture (model LAN121HNP) incorporates a picture frame design allowing it to blend with any room's decor, but also to deliver exceptional air-flow circulation.

Maintenance Solutions

LG has introduced the "Environmental Control Manager" feature in its PTAC lines – one of the most versatile energy management tools available on the market today for remote thermostat and front desk controls. With this tool, hoteliers have the convenience of complete programmability and temperature control via the Internet, from anywhere in the world. For both occupied and unoccupied rooms, the ECM saves hoteliers money and time by lowering energy consumption, operational cost and staff labor time.

Its occupancy sensor senses both motion and heat, and has the ability to control unit operation to obtain the ideal room temperature from both the owner's and the guest's perspective. The resulting energy savings can be as much as 40 percent in comparison to other LG models without this control.

LG's PTAC units offer some of the most innovative features in the industry, such as LG's Gold Fin™ Anti-corrosion treatment, which protects the coils from the corrosive effects of outside air thereby extending the operational life of the unit. A patented four-stage air purifying system features a large, permanent polymeric mesh filter and an electronic air purifier that captures microscopic contaminates like dust mites, pollen and pet fur to provide a more enjoyable environment.

LG TO SUPPORT DOCTORS WITHOUT BORDERS’ CAMPAIGN TO FIGHT MALNUTRITION Tweet

NEW YORK – LG Electronics (LG) announced its sponsorship of “Starved for Attention,” a new campaign by Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) to raise awareness for and fight childhood malnutrition, a crisis affecting 195 million children worldwide. The LG Home Entertainment Company will contribute $500,000 toward the campaign and MSF’s treatment programs along with dozens of its flagship INFINIA televisions for use in multimedia exhibits as part of the campaign.

“LG’s support for MSF’s Starved for Attention campaign reflects our shared goal of helping people across cultural and geographic borders and underscores LG’s belief that no child should have to suffer from malnutrition,” said Simon Kang, president and CEO of LG Home Entertainment Company.

Dr. Matthew Spitzer, President of MSF in the United States added, “LG’s sponsorship of the Starved for Attention campaign is an important contribution to our medical teams’ efforts to respond to this crisis and provides us with the latest technology to speak out about this unacceptable situation that requires a sustained response.” In 2009, MSF treated 250,000 malnourished children in 34 countries.

The campaign will feature a series of multimedia documentaries, spotlighting the childhood malnutrition crisis, in “Starved for Attention” exhibitions across the world. The documentaries, produced by MSF in conjunction with VII Photo, will be displayed at the exhibitions using LG INFINIA televisions as canvases. The first exhibition will launch at the New York Times Center in New York City on June 2, followed by Milan, Toronto and other venues (for a complete list, please visit www.starvedforattention.org).

LG commits to Android with 20 handsets Tweet

LG is planning to release 20 handsets running Google's Android operating system this year, adding to the five Android handsets it has released so far. LG is a founding member of the Open Handset Alliance set up to support Android, but the announcement by CEO Nam Yong indicates LG's first serious commitment to the platform. The decision marks a change of direction for the firm, which said last year it would build 50 devices based on Microsoft's Windows Mobile platform.

Embracing Android is part of Nam's turnaround plans for LG, which has fared poorly recently as the firm's 3DTV and smartphone businesses have fallen behind competitors such as Samsung. Its smartphone business, which accounts for 45% of the firm's sales, has seen some of the worst performance. Operating profit margins for the division fell to 0.9% in the first quarter of this year, down from 6.7% in 2009.

The firm is hoping Android will revive its smartphone business. It already sells some Android handsets through Verizon Wireless in the US and is in talks with Asian operators to expand its Android range closer to home. However, the firm concedes it will take some time to turn the division around, and it expects another poor quarter for the division.

Google has made significant inroads into the mobile market over the last year. Last quarter, phones running the platform outsold the iPhone in the US, according to NPD. HTC was one of the first firms to embrace Android, and its handsets running the OS have received a generally favourable response. Motorola has also thrown its weight behind the platform in a bid to pump new life into its smartphone business, and has seen some success with the Motorola Droid handset.

LG is not abandoning Microsoft completely. But focusing on Android this year will give the firm time to assess whether Microsoft's ambitious attempt to revive its mobile business with the Windows Phone 7 OS will be a success. Microsoft plans to launch Windows Phone 7 before the end of the year.

Broadway 'Goes Green' With Energy-Efficient Washers and Dryers From LG Electronics Tweet

As Premier Sponsor of The Official Talent Gift Lounge Backstage at The Tony Awards(R) LG Electronics Donates 45 Laundry Pairs to Broadway Theaters.

Stars Support Broadway Green Alliance By 'Airing Their Dirty Laundry' with LG.

NEW YORK -- Home appliance leader LG Electronics USA, with assistance from stars from the stage and screen, including Tony Award winners Scarlett Johansson and Viola Davis, as well as Helen Mirren, Sean Hayes, Nathan Lane, Raquel Welch, Kristen Chenoweth and the band Green Day helped make the Great White Way "green" last night at the 64th Annual Tony Awards®.

As the premier sponsor of The Official Talent Gift Lounge backstage at The Tony Awards produced by On 3 Productions, LG pledged to donate an ultra energy efficient washer and dryer to a Broadway theater in the name of each visitor to the Lounge. In cooperation with Broadway Green Alliance (BGA), LG will outfit all 45 Broadway theaters with new laundry pairs, among the most energy efficient washers on the market, to drastically reduce energy and water usage for years to come.

Over the past two years, BGA members have implemented a host of greener practices including major recycling programs, switching to more eco-friendly cleaning products and converting marquee and outside lighting to more efficient LED or CFL bulbs. The BGA also has encouraged facilities to switch to more efficient appliances.

On average, a Broadway theater does six loads or 54 pounds of laundry each day. By replacing traditional top-loaders with LG's new energy-efficient models, it is estimated that the theaters can save 146,000 Kilowatt hours of electricity and 1.5 million gallons of water annually, for a total savings of $23,000 a year. According to the BGA, that's enough to light all of the marquees on Broadway for three months.

"When you think of Broadway, you probably don't think of laundry. But the reality is that the theater community generates thousands of pounds of laundry a week, which results in a huge expenditure of water and energy," said Susan Sampliner, co-chair, Broadway Green Alliance. "By partnering with LG to replace theaters' older laundry pairs with new ultra efficient washers and dryers, we will be able to drastically reduce our energy and water consumption."

Stars who stopped by the Gift Lounge not only helped LG assist Broadway in going green, but also "aired their dirty laundry." Celebrities, including Antonio Banderas, Melanie Griffith, Mark Sanchez, Jamie-Lynn Sigler, Ricky Martin, Matthew Morrison, Paula Abdul, Chris Noth and David Hyde Pierce, autographed a t-shirt made of recycled bottles and shared their juiciest secret or best tidbit of Hollywood gossip.

The shirts, featured phrases such as "Whose dirty laundry would you want to wash?" Paula Abdul answered Simon Cowell, and Laura Bell Bundy thought Jesse James' needed the most laundering. Members of Green Day revealed that Tre Cool has the dirtiest laundry in the band, while Justin Bartha said Zach Galifianakis took the title on the set of "The Hangover."

"LG enthusiastically supports the Broadway Green Alliance and their efforts to make the country's most famous theaters more eco-friendly," said Peter Reiner, senior vice president, marketing, LG Electronics USA. "By outfitting dozens of venues with our ultra-efficient washers and dryers, we are helping to transform Broadway into something greener and something better."

LG's Direct Drive washer features innovative 6Motion™ technology that allows the drum to tailor each load with a combination of motions including rolling, stepping, swinging, scrubbing, filtration and tumbling. 6Motion technology allows for advanced washing options like ColdWash™, which uses cold water and enhanced motions to penetrate deep into fabrics, providing consumers with the cleaning performance of warm water, though using up to 51 percent less energy. Like all LG washers, the new models are Energy-Star rated and use up to 40 percent less water than conventional top-load machines.
