LG PH Celebrates Success With Launch of the Energy Efficient Multi V i With Cutting-Edge AI Engine

LG takes HVAC innovation to another level with its recent launch of the Multi V™ i, a cutting-edge Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) solution integrated with the company's advanced AI engine. This innovative product is set to make its debut in key global markets, beginning with Europe. Designed to cater to mid- to high-rise buildings, including offices, schools, shopping malls, apartment complexes, and hotels, the Multi V i boasts exceptional energy efficiency and a plethora of intelligent features. These features not only contribute to decreased energy usage but also create a consistently comfortable indoor environment. Additionally, the Multi V i ensures a quieter outdoor setting throughout the year.

During the launch event, LG Philippines also held a thanksgiving get-together to show the brand’s appreciation to its HVAC dealers nationwide. LG gathered the ten best performing accounts across four product categories, namely RAC, SCAC, Multi V, and Overall AC for the year 2022. As an added treat, they were the first ones to see the brand new Multi V i in the flesh.

Top performing HVAC dealers with Mr. Sungjae Kim, LGEPH Managing Director

The LG Multi V i boasts of cutting-edge AI features designed to make operation and maintenance simple and fuss-free. The sophisticated AI engine enables AI Smart Care, which leverages spatial and situational learning to optimize operation; adjusting cooling or heating power according to several variables, including the number of people in the room, humidity levels, and indoor and outside ambient temperature. This enables the product to improve energy savings by up to 24.7 percent. Meanwhile, AI Indoor Space Care helps maintain a steady temperature and reduce energy consumption by automatically turning on indoor units in occupied areas, and turning them off in unoccupied areas. Another efficiency-focused feature, AI Energy Management allows users to set energy consumption targets, which can help to lower the overall power usage of the Multi V i.

The Multi V i’s AI engine powers a variety of smart features, such as Auto Tuning and Remote Upgrade, which help to improve convenience and the overall user experience. The Auto Tuning system automatically tunes the compressor and motor during initial installation or when they need replacing, allowing for faster and easier setup and servicing. Meanwhile, with the Remote Upgrade system, LG’s VRF solution can be automatically updated to the latest software version without an on-site service visit. Furthermore, the Multi V i offers AI Smart Diagnosis, which provides automated system analysis and easy-to-read status reports to help reduce service times and boost reliability.

Aside from the new AI improvements, the Multi V i also offers a host of useful features. One of which is noise target control. Users can set an operational noise limit (from 50 to 70 decibels) in advance to ensure that the sound produced by the outdoor unit does not exceed the level of volume they’ve specified.

Boasting powerful, dependable performance even in extreme weather conditions, the Multi V i has surpassed its predecessor, the Multi V 5, to become the most energy efficient LG VRF solution yet. The unit’s newly designed biomimetic fan and an enhanced air-flow path combine to reduce fan-motor power consumption, resulting in improved energy savings. LG’s outstanding, new model can provide fresh, comfortable indoor air in any season, working at full cooling capacity in temperatures up to 43 degrees Celsius, and full heating capacity in temperatures as low as negative 10 degrees Celsius.

Mr. Sungjae Kim, LGEPH Managing Director, shares a toast to HVAC dealers

Mr. Sungjae Kim, LG PH’s Managing Director, is ecstatic about the new features the Multi V i offers. “LG will continue to deliver complete air solutions leveraging its cutting-edge AI and industry-leading HVAC technologies. We’re beyond excited to eventually offer the Multi V i to the local market. We’re confident that the Multi V i’s outstanding AI engine will offer enhanced energy-savings, a more pleasant indoor environment, and exceptional convenience that’s perfect for the Philippines.”

MusicaFEUropa 14 Choir Competition Set on May 27

All Good Things Do Come to an End: Musica FEUROPA, Far Eastern University’s annual choral competition and festival will have its final run this year.

From just four choirs in 2009 mostly from the City of Manila, the number rose to an all time high of thirty one choirs hailing from all over the Philippines. What used to be a competition for college choirs expanded to two categories: High School and Open including but not limited to university, church, company, government and other ensembles.

Musica FEUROPA became one of the definitive choral competitions in the Philippines.

Tiffany Liong Gabuya, Station Manager of long-time media partner DZFE wrote: “We are all aware that the classical music tradition… which today is multi-national and multi-generational in its practice and appeal—has European roots. In our work of fostering an appreciation for classical music, DZFE continues to support Musica FEUropa inasmuch as it remains one of the too few initiatives here encouraging the hard labor of studying and performing European repertoire. We have also seen how Musica FEUROPA fosters a spirit of patriotism and pride among the participating local choirs. All in all…, the competition has demonstrated the kind of good that can come of a sustained cross-cultural initiative.”

The key criterion for Musica FEUROPA is that each choir has to sing two songs: one from any EU composer in any EU language and one from a Filipino composer in any Filipino language or dialect.

In the last 13 years, choirs sang songs in different European languages such as Czech, Latvian, English, Basque, Spanish, Italian, Latin, German, Finnish, French, French-Flemish, Flemish, Hungarian, Lithuanian and Filipino languages such as Tagalog, Cebuano, Bisaya, Ifugao, Ilokano, Itneg, Kinaray-a, T'boli, Maguindanaoan, Yakan and Hiligaynon.

Through Musica FEUROPA, Filipino choirs and audiences have become more exposed and appreciative of the works of European and Filipino composers.

The impact of Musica FEUROPA is such that in the last 13 years, it has become one of the significant events in the Philippine choral calendar.

Musica FEUROPA definitely leaves a musical legacy when it ends after 14 years.

Musica FEUROPA 14 takes place from 1:30 - 5 PM on May 27, 2023 at the historic Auditorium of Far Eastern University, Manila.

Tickets are at P100 for members of the FEU community, students in general and seniors and P200 for the general public.

The participating choirs for the final round of Musica FEUropa are the NU Chorale, PNU Chorale, SaSeSi, Kammerchor Manila, Tarlac Mannerchor and the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng San Pablo Chorale.

The adjudicators for this year are internationally recognized stalwarts in the choral industry: Anna Abeleda-Piquero, Arwin Tan, Dr. Ed Manguiat, Jonathan Velasco and Ramon Lijauco, Jr.

Sustainable Projects Take Center Stage With the New Winners of the LG Ambassador Challenge

LG Philippines Managing Director Mr. Sungjae Kim, with Korea Food for the Hungry International (KFHI) Country Manager Mr. Taeho Lee and Mr. Soonchang Hong, Minister and Consul General of the Embassy of the Republic of Korea awards the winners of the 2023 LG Ambassador Challenge

LG captures lightning in a bottle once again as it recently concluded its LG Ambassador Challenge, which saw dozens of project proposals from across the nation. The contest was first introduced in partnership with Korea Food for the Hungry International (KFHI) and serves as a testament to LG's dedication towards fostering sustainable development within the Philippines' local communities. For its second year, the winning proposals are ‘Life is Good, When Life Has Light’, ‘Flowing Water for Growing Future’, and ‘Paliparan Community Livelihood’.

‘Life is Good, When Life Has Light’ is a program spearheaded by the Our Daily Bread Community-Dayap Church. The community, based in Calauan, Laguna, is a relocation site provided by the government after typhoon Ondoy. In the barangay, streetlights are practically absent, which makes it a dangerous place come night time, both for pedestrians and drivers alike. To address the problem, solar-powered street lights will be established throughout the dark places inside the relocation area. This goal will help people feel safe, reduce crime, conserve energy, make streets clearly visible in order to promote safety and convenience, and to have safer, comfortable, more convenient, and more efficient movement of vehicles during nighttime.

Another winning proposal is ‘Flowing Water for Growing Future’ by Myla Cabaluna. The project tackles water access in the community of Lawaguin. Because of the lack of an efficient water supply, locals have to resort to washing clothes and dishes, and even bathing by the road. To address the situation, the initiative plans on installing a solar-powered water pump that will deliver a clean and consistent water supply to the community.

The third winner for this year’s LG Ambassador Challenge is the Paliparan Community Livelihood Project by Bong Rho Yoon. The proposal aims to alleviate the livelihood of the community living in Paliparan, a dense barangay of over 100,000 people, most of which are urban poor. There are approximately 1,000 families living in the area with over 50% of the households’ main income coming from construction work. To help alleviate their situation, the livelihood project aims to introduce sewing to add job diversification. The vocational training education hopes to increase employment and add a stable source of income for households.

LG Philippines Managing Director Mr. Sungjae Kim was impressed with the proposed programs of this year’s crop of winners. “We at LG are proud to be a part of these helpful and inventive initiatives. Our brand is always committed to sustainability and leaving a positive impact in the community. These programs, spearheaded by our LG Ambassador Challenge winners, offer great strides to deliver sustainable growth to local communities. We stand hand in hand with them to help realize their vision.” Also present during the awarding ceremonies were Mr. Soonchang Hong, Minister and Consul General of the Embassy of the Republic of Korea and Mr. Taeho Lee, Country Manager of the Korea Food for the Hungry International (KFHI). KFHI is the international cooperation organization working to build international solidarity between Koreans and people around the world.

LG Begins Global Rollout of 2023 TV Lineup

With LG's Latest TV Tech and an Updated webOS with Enhanced Personalization Features, New TVs Elevate Viewing Immersion, and the User Experience

LG Electronics (LG) announces the global rollout of its 2023 TV lineup, featuring the most advanced range of LG OLED TVs yet. Boasting the company’s latest technologies and designed around its new vision – Sync to You, Open to All – LG’s new TVs deliver exceptional viewing and user experiences that can be customized to match one’s individual needs, preferences, and tastes. The 2023 LG TV lineup ushers in a new era in television, transforming the TV into a convenient home hub that continuously expands and enriches everyday life.

Headlining this year’s lineup, the company’s latest OLED TVs elevate the viewing experience as only LG OLED can. The new models offer premium self-lit picture quality, powerful image processing technologies, and an upgraded webOS platform providing even more smart features, as well as access to an ever-increasing library of lifestyle services.

LG introduced the world to the first-ever large screen OLED a decade ago, and since then, the company has continued to lead the premium TV market. Its cutting-edge OLED TVs keep evolving to deliver ever-greater value to consumers and have earned many accolades from respected tech media outlets and industry experts. Renowned for their superb picture quality, LG OLED TVs produce vibrant, accurate colors with deep blacks and an infinite contrast ratio for images that are remarkably lifelike.

In addition to realizing new and more immersive viewing experiences, LG’s self-lit technology has enabled the company to create unprecedented, visually-stunning TV form factors, including market-firsts such as the rollable LG SIGNATURE OLED R, and the bendable LG OLED Flex. Among its latest triumphs are the LG SIGNATURE OLED M, a 97-inch OLED TV with Zero Connect technology enabling wireless transmission of video and audio, and OLED T, a transparent OLED TV that redefines spatial integration and the user experience.

LG’s 2023 OLED lineup features upgraded Z3, G3 and C3 OLED evo series TVs. Thanks to the precision and performance of LG OLED evo technology and the new α9 AI Processor Gen6, the new models provide improved brightness and color accuracy along with amazing clarity and detail.

LG OLED evo G3

The latest Alpha series processor utilizes LG’s sophisticated AI-assisted Deep Learning tech to ensure outstanding picture and sound quality. AI Picture Pro now offers improved upscaling for clearer images, and also includes OLED Dynamic Tone Mapping Pro, which helps reveal hidden details and brings greater depth to every frame. OLED Dynamic Tone Mapping Pro ‘splits’ the picture into 20,000 blocks, analyzing each in real-time to detect the darkest and brightest areas and deliver precision HDR optimization to increase viewers’ sense of immersion. Additionally, AI Picture Pro features HDR Expression Enhancer, a picture processing technology that detects and refines important onscreen objects (e.g., people’s faces) in each scene; giving them a more lifelike quality with enhanced sharpness and three-dimensionality by applying tone mapping based on deep learning. In addition to fine-tuning image reproduction, the α9 AI Processor Gen6 powers LG’s AI Sound Pro, which provides virtual 9.1.2 surround sound from the TVs’ built-in speakers to help sweep viewers up in whatever they are watching.

Another significant upgrade applied to this year’s OLED evo G3 series is LG’s Brightness Booster Max technology, which incorporates brand-new light control architecture and light-boosting algorithms to increase brightness by up to 70 percent. Brightness is mapped and controlled on a pixel-by-pixel basis, resulting in sharper, more realistic images. The application of Super Anti Reflective technology effectively reduces visual distractions, such as light glare and reflections, so that users can focus all their attention on what’s on screen, even in a brightly lit environment.

LG’s 2023 G3 OLED evo models also boast an aesthetic upgrade via the introduction of the ultra-seamless One Wall Design. Leaving no visible gap when wall mounted, this year’s models bring style and effortless elegance to the living room or wherever users choose to install them. Furthermore, LG’s latest OLED TVs are easy to move or mount on the wall due to the use of a composite fiber material that reduces each unit’s overall weight. For installation flexibility, LG’s 2023 OLED evo C3 series models come with the Swivel Stand, which lets users turn the screen to match the angle of their viewing position.

New for this year, the OLED Care Program helps users to keep their LG OLED TVs performing at their best. The OLED Care Program includes the Memory Optimizer, a feature that improves device performance and provides Screen/Sound Self-diagnosis. It also gives users access to functions that help care for the TV’s OLED panel, such as Pixel Cleaning, Screen Move, Adjust Logo Brightness, and Care Recommendations. OLED Care can be accessed at any time using the shortcut key button on the remote control.

LG’s latest TVs set themselves apart from the competition with a refreshed, more personalized, user experience in 2023. Featuring the latest version of webOS, this year’s models introduce the All New Home: a redesigned user interface (UI) that offers a wealth of customization options and more convenience than ever. The new Quick Cards – grouped into convenient categories such as Home Office, Gaming, Music, and Sports – present users with a fast, simple way to access the content and services they use the most.

The Home Office Card on LG TV brings together several productivity apps and services that are ideal for those working from home. For instance, users can transform their LG TV into a state-of-the-art workstation by setting up cloud-based virtualization solutions, including Windows 365 which delivers Cloud PCs—a complete and secure Windows experience hosted in the Microsoft Cloud and accessible on any device. The Home Office Card also offers useful apps for accessing and organizing one’s schedule, and voice- and video-call apps that make it easy to communicate with colleagues and clients. Users can pair a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse to enjoy the full work-from-home experience on LG TV.

The Music Card on the All New Home provides quick access to a variety of major music streaming services, while Sports Card serves up real-time updates and alerts to help users keep up to date with their favorite sports leagues, players, and teams. For a tailored sports fan experience on LG TV, customizable notifications bring users the information they want in real-time; letting them know when the big game is about to start, providing them with real-time scoring updates, and delivering the final result as soon as time is called. After saving their personalized preferences, users can enjoy receiving sports alerts on any LG TV just by logging into their user profile.

Designed for everyone, the new webOS makes it easy for anyone using the TV to enjoy personalized recommendations, which are determined based on viewing history and viewing habits. Helping deliver a deeply personalized user experience on LG OLED TV is AI Concierge. In addition to presenting each user with a curated list of content choices based on their past usage and search inquiries, AI Concierge provides a selection of keywords for browsing trending content. It also suggests useful settings, options and modes (including the Family care setting, Eye Comfort mode, Multi-View mode, clock setting, Bluetooth speaker connection, and mute sound) for customizing the viewing and user experience.

It is also compatible with the new smart home standard, Matter, giving users the ability to control and monitor a wide range of smart home devices from a growing list of global manufacturers, using only their LG TV.

Premium home cinema solutions, LG OLED TVs continue to support the image- and audio-enhancing capabilities of Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. What’s more, this year’s LG TVs offer seamless integration with the latest LG Sound Bars, supplying outstanding multi-channel surround sound with IMAX Enhanced Sound quality powered by DTS:X. LG TV and LG Sound Bar also combine to offer WOW Orchestra, which utilizes every audio channel across both products to create stronger, more immersive sound, and the convenient WOWCAST, which makes it possible to connect the two devices wirelessly.

Furthermore, LG’s 2023 OLED TV models support several features enabled by HDMI 2.1a, the most recent update to the HDMI specification. They are also the first TVs to be certified by the HDMI organization for the recently announced Quick Media Switching Variable Refresh Rate (QMS-VRR). QMS-VRR can eliminate the momentary ‘black screen’ that sometimes occurs when switching between content played from different source devices connected to the TV via HDMI.

The ultimate gaming displays, LG’s self-lit OLED TVs come with an ultra-fast 0.1 millisecond response time, low input lag and up to four HDMI 2.1 48Gbps bandwidth ports. LG OLED TVs are also equipped with the Game Optimizer; allowing users to quickly select and switch between game-genre display presets, including the new, customizable ‘User’ preset, and many other gaming-specific features. Settings for G-SYNC®Compatible, FreeSync™ Premium and HDMI-VRR with HGiG are easily accessible from the Game Optimizer as well. Additionally, LG OLED TVs feature the Game Dashboard, an overlay menu that provides a range of useful controls and information on display settings and performance that users can quickly access while they play.

Beyond its award-winning OLED TVs, LG has added new QNED TVs to its diverse 2023 lineup. The premium LCD TVs leverage the company’s very own Quantum Dot NanoCell Color technology to produce rich, accurate and extremely lifelike colors that help create memorable and highly immersive viewing experiences. Equipped with QNED Million Grey Scale Block Dimming technology10, the latest QNED Mini LED TVs are capable of delivering contrast and black levels that come close to those of OLED. LG’s 2023 Mini LED TVs improve contrast expression by 64 times compared to their predecessors to achieve one million, dynamic gradations, Moreover, the company’s 2023 QNED TVs have a design that is both slimmer than that of their predecessors and matches better with LG’s new soundbar products.

Helping to curb resource consumption, LG OLED TVs require fewer materials to produce than conventional LED TVs as their self-lit pixels mean there is no need for a backlighting unit. 2023 LG OLED TVs and QNED TVs employ components made from recycled plastics and are even shipped in packaging made from recyclable materials and featuring single-color printing. On top of that, the packaging of the TV remote control comes in is made from biomaterial that decomposes when placed in the ground.

Easier on viewers’ eyes thanks to their low blue light performance, the displays used in LG’s 2023 OLED TVs are certified Eyesafe® by TÜV Rheinland. The Eye Comfort mode on LG 2023 TVs adjusts the intensity of blue light produced by each pixel to minimize color distortion and create a warmer color temperature, resulting in better, more natural colors. LG’s new OLED displays have also earned Flicker-Free Display and Discomfort Glare Free certifications from UL Solutions.

Committed to making technology more inclusive, LG has implemented various features that make its latest TVs easier to use for people with disabilities. A long press on the LG Magic Remote’s mute button brings up the accessibility menu, where users can find Learn TV Remote, which teaches them remote control’s features. Improving accessibility for the hearing impaired, Sign Language Zoom allows users to adjust the size of the area where the sign language interpreter is shown on screen. LG TVs can also play sound through their built-in speakers and a Bluetooth device, such as a hearing aid, simultaneously. Users with hearing difficulties can connect their hearing aid to the TV via Bluetooth, or by connecting a transmitter to one of the TV’s HDMI ports and adjust the volume with their hearing aids’ controls.

The Philippines will get a glimpse of the latest viewing innovation with the 2023 LG OLED TV lineup.
