LG showcases its Google Cast Hotel TVs at ISE 2025

Zawya30-01-2025

Riyadh — LG Electronics (LG) is set to unveil its new Google Cast-integrated hotel TVs at Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) 2025, the international systems integration and audiovisual exhibition taking place in Barcelona, Spain, from February 4-7. Google Cast, Google's technology that lets you stream your favorite entertainment and apps from your phone, tablet or computer right to your TV, enhances the guest experience with LG Hotel TVs by providing secure and convenient access to OTT streaming services. With this user-centric innovation, LG is reinforcing its leadership in the hospitality TV market, which continues to be a key area of focus for the company's fast-growing B2B business.
Starting January 10, LG Hotel TVs running webOS23 or later can now offer the convenience of Google Cast with hotel-specific features. Google Cast for hotel TVs is implemented with network isolation to ensure privacy across hotel rooms. To connect a personal device to an LG Hotel TV and enjoy seamless content streaming, guests simply scan a QR code displayed on the TV screen.* This removes the need for users to input personal information or log into their preferred OTT apps on the TV. Conveniently, the connection remains active throughout the guest's stay. Upon check-out, the connection history is automatically erased, helping to deliver a hassle-free and secure user experience.
LG is expanding its presence in the hospitality market, offering a wide range of innovative, tailormade solutions, including hotel TVs, software, and digital signages. In 2023, LG unveiled the world's first hotel TV with AirPlay – Apple's wireless content-sharing technology – which rolled out globally in 2024. With the addition of Google Cast support, LG's hotel TV became the first in the world to simultaneously offer both AirPlay and Google Cast, providing unparalleled convenience for guests. LG also provides the Pro:Centric management solution for hotel TVs, enabling hotel operators to effortlessly customize content for individual rooms, automatically displayed on screen when guests check in.
'LG Hotel TVs with Google Cast will deliver a seamless entertainment experience for guests' said Tiger Lan, senior director of engineering for multi-device experiences at Google. 'We're excited to see LG's momentum in bringing this seamless casting integration to the hospitality industry, providing travelers with the familiar comforts of home while on the go.'
'Many hotel guests nowadays wish to stream their favorite content from a personal device to their in-room TV,' said Paik Ki-mun, head of Information Display Business of the LG Media Entertainment Solution Company. 'With LG Hotel TVs integrating Google Cast, they can enjoy a secure and convenient content-streaming experience, just like they're used to at home. We will continue to strengthen our leadership in the hospitality TV market and enhance our B2B sector strategies.'
LG's booth at ISE 2025 will feature a hotel-focused exhibition space themed 'Transforming Stays into Memorable Hospitality Experiences,' where visitors can experience LG's Hotel TVs with Google Cast firsthand.

This is more than double the figure reported in the United States, where just 13% of adults say they use AI chatbots regularly.'This early embrace of technology reflects the UAE's strong digital infrastructure, pro-innovation policy environment, and a population that recognises AI as a powerful tool for progress,' the report noted. The UAE's national AI strategy is credited with helping position the country as a 'leading AI destination'.The research estimates that Google's products created Dh20 billion in consumer benefits in 2024, the equivalent of Dh683 per month per user. Much of this was driven by time saved, easier access to information, and tools that improve daily life.A remarkable 63% of adults in the UAE said they had used Gemini, Google's generative AI assistant, while 38% reported daily usage.

Since 2018, Google's Maharat Min Google programme has trained more than 430,000 individuals in the UAE in digital and professional skills.

Next-Level Immersion: LG's 45" 5K2K OLED Gaming Monitor

There are gaming monitors—and then there's the LG UltraGear™ OLED 45GX950A. At first glance, it's easy to think this is just another ultra-wide curved monitor aimed at pro gamers. But spend even a few minutes with this 45-inch OLED beast, and it becomes clear: this isn't just a display upgrade—it's a workspace revolution, a cinematic canvas, and an adrenaline shot of immersion all in one. Let's start with the headline: 5K2K resolution across a dramatic 21:9 ultra-wide canvas. That's 33% more pixels than 4K, but it's not just about the math. It's about how the OLED panel—backed by LG's cutting-edge WOLED and MLA+ technology—makes blacks deeper, whites more radiant, and color saturation feel almost surreal. Whether you're exploring a fantasy universe or grading a 6K video timeline, you're seeing detail and texture in a way that's simply impossible on a traditional screen. Then there's the speed. This isn't just about refresh rates—it's about adaptability. The Dual-Mode function lets you seamlessly toggle between a razor-sharp 165Hz WUHD for visually rich games or workflows, and an insane 330Hz WFHD for lightning-fast FPS or esports moments. And yes, 0.03ms (GtG) response time is real. Blur and ghosting don't stand a chance here. Curved to match your vision, literally. With an 800R curvature, the screen wraps naturally around your field of view—no exaggerated fisheye distortion or cramped vertical limits. It's a display you sit inside, not just in front of. What really sets the UltraGear 45 apart, though, is how it straddles both work and play with effortless grace. Multitasking across a 5K2K screen is like unlocking a second brain. No bezels interrupting your thought process, no external monitor juggling. Just one seamless, immersive view where your editing timeline, reference windows, and browser tabs all live in harmony. And of course, LG didn't forget about sound. With 10W x 2 rich bass speakers and support for DTS Headphone:X, this monitor doesn't just look amazing—it sounds like a high-end gaming rig even when your headset's off. For creators, gamers, and hybrid professionals who demand the best from every pixel, the LG UltraGear™ 45GX950A isn't just a monitor—it's a mindset shift.

A Smarter Way to Clean: Meet the CordZero™ A9T-LITE

If you've ever dreaded vacuuming because of the noise, the heavy lifting, or the mess that comes with emptying the dust bin, LG's CordZero™ A9T-LITE is the game-changer you didn't know you needed. It's not just another stick vacuum—it's a sleek, modern cleaning companion that thinks ahead, cleans smarter, and keeps your hands dust-free. At first glance, it looks like your average cordless vacuum. But once it docks itself into the All-in-One Tower™, things get interesting. With a simple click, the vacuum empties itself. No flying dust, no bin shake-outs over the trash. It's a small moment of peace in your day, and it makes all the difference. But the CordZero™ A9T-LITE doesn't stop at convenience. It packs powerful suction thanks to its Smart Inverter Motor™, offering three cleaning modes—Standard, Power, and Turbo. Whether it's crumbs in the kitchen or pet hair buried deep in the carpet, this vacuum tackles it all. And if you're the type who forgets when to clean filters, the LCD display and LG ThinQ™ app have your back—reminding you, tracking your vacuum's performance, and even helping with diagnostics. One of the most underrated features? The Kompressor™ technology. With the press of a lever, it compresses collected dust and hair in the bin, giving you more room to keep cleaning without having to pause and empty. Paired with a disposable dust bag system in the docking station, it keeps dirt neatly contained until you're ready to toss it—no clouds of debris, no mess. There's also something refreshing about how intuitive it all feels. The slim and wide nozzles reach tight corners and under furniture without much effort. With tools smartly stored in the tower, you'll never go hunting for that crevice attachment again. And for anyone with allergies or a pet-heavy household, the 5-step filtration system that traps 99.99% of dust offers much-needed peace of mind. At 2.9 kg, it's lightweight enough to lift and even clean the ceiling—yes, really. And while a vacuum may not be the most glamorous home gadget, the CordZero™ A9T-LITE makes a convincing case for itself. It's clean, clever, and one less chore on your list. If vacuuming is a task you avoid, this may just be the upgrade that changes your mind. With LG's CordZero™, it's not just about cleaning—it's about cleaning without the chaos.
