LG Expands dvLED Portfolio with Five New MAGNIT Displays, Including Two All-in-One Models Targeting Simplified Installation

LG's InfoComm 2026 dvLED lineup adds entry-level Essential and turnkey AIO options across a wider range of commercial applications.

There was a lot of LG news at InfoComm 2026. Tell us about the new MAGNIT line up.
LG debuted the MAGNIT Gen 2 (model LMPB007), MAGNIT Active Micro LED (LSAH007), MAGNIT Essential Micro LED (LMEA012), MAGNIT Essential All-in-One (LASA136), and MAGNIT Gen 2 AIO (LAAB136). The Essential models form an all-new entry-level category within the MAGNIT line, making their first appearance at InfoComm.
What is the MAGNIT Essential, and who is it aimed for?
The MAGNIT Essential Micro LED (LMEA012) is a slim indoor dvLED panel with a 1.25 mm pixel pitch, 600 nits (cd/m²) of calibrated brightness, and a cabinet depth of 1.2 inches at 8.6 pounds per cabinet. Its larger-module design uses fewer modules per cabinet, which reduces installation time and minimizes gaps between units. It generates 50 percent lower power consumption compared to comparable SMD-based models. The display supports HDR10 and HDR10 Pro and carries a 20,000:1 contrast ratio. Target environments include corporate lobbies, executive briefing rooms, command centers, and retail spaces where a slim profile and straightforward maintenance matter.
How do the two all-in-one models differ from each other?
Both are 136-inch displays with integrated controllers and built-in speakers, but they diverge on resolution, pixel pitch, and software platform. The MAGNIT Essential AIO (LASA136) delivers Full HD resolution using COB Micro LED technology with an embedded webOS controller, aimed at organizations that want large-format impact with reduced installation complexity. The MAGNIT Gen 2 AIO (LAAB136) steps up to 4K UHD resolution (3840×2160) at a 0.78 mm pixel pitch, runs webOS 8.0, supports HDR10 and HDR10 Pro, includes an Office Meeting Mode, and carries Crestron Connected compatibility. The installation process is a simplified four-step procedure. The Gen 2 AIO targets conference rooms, executive briefing centers, and control rooms where high-resolution presentation is a priority alongside operational simplicity.
What does the MAGNIT Gen 2 flagship add over its predecessor?
The MAGNIT Gen 2 (LMPB007) introduces LG's Line-to-Dot technology, which reduces the visibility of minor pixel imperfections on screen. It also gains a 120Hz refresh rate for smoother imagery, a front-access alignment system for installation and maintenance, and optical fiber connectivity for long-distance signal transmission. LG also cites enhanced contrast, deeper blacks, and improved grayscale performance relative to the previous generation.
What is the MAGNIT Active Micro LED, and does it fit a commercial deployment?
The MAGNIT Active Micro LED (LSAH007) is a 136-inch 4K Ultra HD display built around Active Matrix Micro LED technology with a million-to-one contrast ratio, Dolby Vision HDR, and up to 144Hz variable refresh rate. LG's Alpha 9 AI processing handles image clarity and motion performance. The display includes integrated speakers, webOS 23, AirPlay 2, and Miracast support. LG positions it for immersive home cinema and premium visualization, with luxury residential applications mentioned alongside commercial visualization use cases. Integrators specifying it for commercial environments should note the consumer-oriented software stack and confirm that the display's feature set aligns with the deployment's management and control requirements.
Where does the Ultra Stretch AIO fit in the portfolio?
The LG Ultra Stretch AIO (LUPA098) is a 98-inch dvLED display in a 32:9 ultrawide aspect ratio, launched before InfoComm and shown on the floor this year. It includes integrated speakers, an embedded webOS 4.0 controller, and support for scalable multi-screen configurations of up to 10 displays. LG targets it at transportation hubs, retail environments, and public-facing installations where a wide-format continuous display strip is a design requirement.

The Take

Which LG MAGNIT model deserves the most attention from integrators specifying commercial environments in 2026?

The MAGNIT Gen 2 AIO (LAAB136) is the one to watch for commercial work. A 136-inch, 4K, 0.78 mm pitch display with a built-in controller, Crestron Connected compatibility, and a four-step installation process answers the most common objections integrators hear when proposing dvLED over large-format LCD in a conference room or briefing center: cost of the external controller, complexity of the signal chain, and time on-site.

The Active Micro LED (LSAH007) is an interesting one reflecting the cross-over of many integrators into prosumer spaces and the trend of having luxury executive suites or entertainment spaces within commercial facilities.
