My journey as Geralt of Rivia has been filled with both monsters and adventures, and alas, I will be laying down my medallion and my swords for Season 4. In my stead, the fantastic Mr Liam Hemsworth will be taking up the mantle of the White Wolf. As with the greatest of literary characters, I pass the torch with reverence for the time spent embodying Geralt and enthusiasm to see Liam's take on this most fascinating and nuanced of men.
Liam, good sir, this character has such a wonderful depth to him, enjoy diving in and seeing what you can find.  #TheWitcher Liam Hemsworth

LG’s 54” Videowall is the Perfect Control Room Solution

Make a statement guaranteed to leave the right impression with LG’s LED Bloc. The massive 54” videowall, the recipient of numerous design awards such as IDEA and Red Dot, combines innovation and simplicity. It provides a host of indoor applications and sets the standard for what commercial displays should be.

The biggest innovation of the 54” LG LED Bloc is the application of cableless transmission technology with non connectors. For up to UHD resolution with the 16:9 ratio, it does not require a cable connection between the cabinets to supply signal and power. Its block assembly design makes the LSAC series easier to install than before.There’s no need for additional signal cables that add clutter and confusion to your setup.

The LG 54” video wall is also sleek and sits flush to the wall. Unlike LCD video walls, the LSAC series is truly bezel-free, so audiences can focus on visual content in its entirety without any bezel interference between displays.

Since the LSAC series is EMC Class B certified, it can be used anywhere, even up close and personal. Therefore, it is suitable for up-close uses such as corporate meeting rooms, board rooms, etc.Aside from low electromagnetic emissions, it saves power when on standby as well. When there is no input signal for a period of time, the screen turns off and the main circuit parts inside the LED cabinet go to a standby mode. This saves additional power consumption and enables the product to be reactivated simply by using a remote control.The OS of the display is also compatible with LG software solutions including SuperSign CMS, LED Assistant, and ConnectedCare, which help customers operate their own business flawlessly.

Maxi Clean Laundromat Underscores Importance of Product Trust in Starting a Business

With any business, the foundation of trust is important. You have to believe your employees, your partners, and of course, the products or services you’re providing. It’s crucial that you can stand behind the product wholeheartedly because if trust erodes, it will be almost impossible to repair.

This foundation of trust is how sisters Claire and Minette started the successful Maxi Clean Laundromat chain in the province of Bulacan. Before everything else, they looked for a business partner that they already know and can rely on. Minette gives her own experience with LG washing machines as an example. “We chose LG because we have an LG washing machine at home that we’ve been using for ten years already. When we started the business, we went for machines that we know are reliable.”

Manny Villagracia, Minette’s husband, handles the technical side of things of the business and is all smiles with how he can manage the machines remotely. “I can diagnose, troubleshoot, and monitor the day to day operations and even assist our laundry care experts to troubleshoot the machine anytime anywhere.” And it’s not just Manny who is happy with the LG Commercial Machines’ wi-fi capabilities. With the Laundry Lounge app, customers can reserve the machines, monitor their laundry, and even do contactless payment with the touch of a button. This gives customers the freedom to choose which machines they want with the specific time span they need. Manny shares how important this feature is. “LG empowers your customer base as if it's their own machine. (It gives them) power at their fingertips”.

When asked about their experience about starting a laundry business, their common answer boils down to trust. You have to find a brand to be your partner for the long run. Minette underscores this point, saying “Choose a brand you can trust because they will deliver in their promise of helping your business.”

Double the Productivity with the DualUp Monitor

Nowadays, being able to multitask is a crucial skill to have. It increases your efficiency and stimulates your brain to work or study more effectively, which in turn eventually translates to more productivity. The downside of multitasking however if your focus is split, especially if you keep alt-tabbing between projects. This can lead to errors, longer total time, or even subpar work.

One of the best ways to mitigate this problem is adding more space so you can organize your ideas better. This can be done through a notebook and jotting down your task and prioritizing them. Another way is to use multiple screens. This can take up a lot of desk space, however. To address this, LG introduced the DualUp monitor, which offers twice the screen real estate to help with multitasking and productivity.

The LG DualUp monitor offers a new format of 16:18 aspect ratio with a SDQHD display. This gives you effectively the same screen real estate as two separate 21.5 inch monitors (16:9 aspect ratio) to enable viewing of 2 applications at the same time for added productivity. No more need for confusing and distracting alt-tabbing.

The DualUp’s picture quality is no slouch, either. It supports a wide color spectrum, 98% of DCI-P3 gamut, and offers vibrant hue reproduction with the support of HDR10. The monitor also has Auto Brightness Control to reduce eye strain. The sensor measures the ambient light in the surrounding environment and adjusts the screen brightness accordingly.

Its design is ergonomically sound. The Ergo stand offers the flexibility to extend, retract, swivel, pivot, raise, lower and tilt the location of the screen to achieve the desired and comfortable viewing position. It also gives you back valuable desk space. Its C-Clamp mounting point design enables installation of the adjustable screen on the rear of the desk, removing the screen and stand from the desk surface freeing up valuable space for other items.

LG Monitor Ambassador and photographer Magic Liwanag shares his experience with the DualUp Monitor during the launch event held in June.

Whether you’re an office worker, a creative, or a content creator, the LG DualUp monitor can help boost your efficiency and productivity.
