Central to LG’s Affectionate Intelligence Home is LG ThinQ ON, an advanced AI home hub designed to deliver comfort and convenience tailored to individual preferences. ThinQ ON seamlessly integrates with LG’s latest AI appliances, forming the core of the LG AI Home Solution. This system is driven by Affectionate Intelligence, LG’s empathetic and caring AI technology. As the AI Home Solution learns more about users’ routines, preferences and behaviors over time, it creates a personalized spatial experience, delivering unmatched customer value and bringing greater ease to everyday life.
The first thing visitors to the LG booth at IFA 2024 will encounter is the AI Home Gate, an immersive LED media wall that visually communicates how LG AI is deployed within the AI Home to elevate customer lifestyles.
Visitors will get to experience LG’s sophisticated generative AI technology through the ThinQ ON hub once they pass through the AI Home Gate. ThinQ ON understands natural language, allowing users to control a wide range of appliances, Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and services with conversational voice commands. LG’s AI hub facilitates a truly personalized AI home lifestyle, managing everything from lifestyle services to helping kids get a good night’s sleep.
Intelligently Personalized AI Home Lifestyles for Every Generation, Family and Pet
The Second Youth Home exemplifies LG’s commitment to enhancing the lives of the elderly by easing household chores and enriching leisure activities. Powered by ThinQ ON, this space highlights how conversational voice-recognition and seamless coordination of home appliances – for example, automatically setting the dryer to ‘Activewear course’ once the washing machine finishes a workload – simplify home management. The AI hub can also provide voice briefings to keep users informed of what’s going on, relieve stress by offering guidance for tasks such as booking a taxi, and estimate travel time to the selected destinations.

ViewSonic India Launches World’s First Customizable Large-size Displays at InfoComm India 2024
Mumbai, India, (September 5, 2024) – ViewSonic Corp., a leading global provider of visual solutions, has launched the LDC series—the world’s first Customizable All-in-One mega LED displays. The product was unveiled at InfoComm India 2024, one of the biggest audio-visual industry tradeshows in India. Adding innovation to the LED video wall category, ViewSonic’s latest LED displays enable adaptable display configurations in various aspect ratios and sizes of up to 760 inches. They are adaptable in customized configurations, quick to install, operate, and administer, and combine the size diversity of standard LED displays with the ease of an All-in-One integration. The new LDC series is designed to facilitate seamless and effortless video wall and digital signage deployments across business, commercial, and public spaces.
Muneer Ahmad, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at ViewSonic India, says, “Striving innovation in every product and solution, ViewSonic has been at the forefront in bringing unique and one–its–kind products in the Indian market. Introducing the LDC series marks a significant milestone in the industry, showcasing that flexibility, effortless installation, and ease of use can coexist in an ultra-large-format display. Our extensive portfolio, which reflects our commitment to providing our customers with greater versatility in response to their changing needs, enables us to expand in the digital signage sector.”
Explore the Potential of the Video Wall Market with Simplified, All-in-One Setups
The customizable, ultra- slim, and frameless LDC series offers a wide range of sizes, aspect ratios, and shapes—for instance, a 414” display with a 21:9 ratio or a 378” display with a 16:9 ratio. It can reach up to 760-inch screen size as a single unit and achieve even larger sizes when multiple units are combined.

This design eliminates the need for dedicated spaces for complex control systems and for reconstructing the environment, offering an advantage in locations where space is limited or interiors are non-modifiable. The modular design allows for massive screens to be packaged in more compact sizes, facilitating easy transport via standard elevators and significantly lowering costs and efforts. Paired with a full-front maintenance feature, the displays minimize maintenance work and downtime, further enhancing operational efficiency.
Boosting Durability and Adaptability for Dynamic Content Display
The LDC series employs durability and Glue-on-Board (GOB) surface treatment technology. This protective process seals the LED module surface with transparent epoxy glue, enhancing protection during installation and use. One of the unique selling points of the LDC series is its IP54-rated LED module which provides enhanced protection against collision, dust, and moisture. This makes it ideal for public spaces such as lobbies, shopping malls, and transportation hubs, where durability and reliability are paramount.
These new displays feature a 31mm ultra-thin design and a 6mm slim bezel, enhancing aesthetic appeal across varied settings. The LDC series features a detachable control box, enabling an impressive 99% screen-to-body ratio for a premium, minimalist design that seamlessly integrates with any decor. The control box can be positioned up to 10 meters away from the display for enhanced convenience, ensuring easy access to controls even in hard-to-reach installations. From creating advertising signage in shopping malls, immersive backdrops in car showrooms, and entrance decorations to 21:9 displays paired with the Microsoft Teams Rooms kit for expansive views in hybrid meetings, the LDC series demonstrates high adaptability for multiple scenarios.
For the intricate management requirements of large business and commercial spaces, the LDC series supports centralized LAN control, which enables remote monitoring and real-time troubleshooting. They are compatible with leading third-party device management systems to smooth management across multiple displays and address the operational challenges faced by IT administrators.

This technology offers a unique opportunity for women to enhance their capabilities and drive innovation in their fields.” Sairee Chahal, founder of Sheroes, added, “As a platform dedicated to women’s empowerment, we recognize that understanding Gen AI is increasingly essential. Providing working knowledge of this technology will open up new avenues for women, helping them adapt to the digital age and advance their careers.”

By equipping 10 million women with AI skills through SAWiT.AI, we are not only empowering women but also tapping into a $550 billion economic opportunity. Our partnerships with Google Women Techmakers and SSC nasscom, along with support from FICCI FLO and Sheroes, are crucial in providing the tools and opportunities women need to thrive in the tech industry.”
