LG ELECTRONICS EXPANDS ITS LIFESTYLE TV LINEUP WITH THE NEW ART-INSPIRED GALLERY TV

 


New Gallery TV and LG Gallery+ Complete Personalized Space Curation

LG Electronics (LG) will unveil the latest addition to its lifestyle screen portfolio at CES 2026. LG is debuting its LG Gallery TV, a dedicated canvas that completes the spatial curation experience offered through the diverse collection of more than 4,500 content on the LG Gallery+ service.

Designed for interior-conscious consumers, the LG Gallery TV brings a sophisticated gallery atmosphere directly into the home, blending technology seamlessly with personal style.

Developed with museum curators, the TV’s “Gallery Mode” optimizes color and brightness to reproduce the visual texture of original masterpieces. Central to this capability is a specialized screen that reduces glare and minimizes reflections for an art-like viewing experience. The TV also automatically adjusts picture quality to changing ambient light to maintain clarity throughout the day.

Available in 55 and 65-inch models, the Gallery TV features a slim, flush-mount design with customizable magnetic frames. It also offers plenty of internal memory for users to curate and store their favorite content. Beyond its role as a canvas, it delivers a premium entertainment experience powered by LG’s MiniLED technology and the α (Alpha) 7 AI Processor, combining stunning 4K visuals with immersive AI Sound Pro (Virtual 9.1.2ch) audio.

The Gallery TV experience is completed by the LG Gallery+ service. LG Gallery+ serves as a comprehensive interior platform that transforms screens into versatile interior elements with a library of over 4,500 monthly-refreshed works. Featuring a diverse spectrum ranging from fine art to cinematic scenes, game visuals, and animations, the platform allows users to decorate their home with visuals that match their specific tastes.

Beyond the preset library, users can further customize their environment by creating their own images with Generative AI or displaying cherished memories from their own photo libraries. LG Gallery+ also elevates the ambiance of a space by incorporating background music. Users can choose from built-in tracks according to their mood or stream their own playlists via Bluetooth.

Ultimately, LG Gallery+ empowers customers to turn their TVs into a dynamic hub of creativity. The service is available across the entire LG TV lineup.

“We will continue to lead the market by expanding our lifestyle TV lineup, transforming the screen into a companion that fluidly adapts to our customers’ preferences,” said Park Hyoung-sei, president of the LG Media Entertainment Solution Company. “Our goal is to enrich customers’ lives by providing the freedom to design every aspect of their personal space.”

LG will showcase its full Art TV lineup, including the new Gallery TV, at CES 2026, demonstrating how screens can move beyond traditional entertainment to become versatile, design-forward elements of the modern home.

Visitors can experience LG’s latest lifestyle TVs at the LG booth (#15004, Las Vegas Convention Center). For more information and updates on LG’s new products and technologies, visit www.lg.com/global/newsroom/

BPI AIA strengthens support for Philippine SMEs with refreshed Corporate Solutions proposition

 



As small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) continue to navigate rising costs, workforce challenges, and unexpected business risks, BPI AIA has refreshed its Corporate Solutions proposition to better support employers in protecting both their people and their businesses, helping them grow with greater confidence and stability.


At the heart of this refreshed proposition is BPI AIA Business Owner SME Solutions (BOSS), a suite of health and protection solutions designed to address the real, day-to-day challenges faced by business owners. By combining life insurance, accident coverage, and healthcare solutions for both employers and employees, BPI AIA aims to help SMEs manage risks that could otherwise disrupt operations, cash flow, and long-term plans.


“Many Filipino businesses start with a dream, but sustaining that dream comes with real challenges,” Karen Custodia, Chief Executive Officer of BPI AIA. “Unexpected medical expenses, employee turnover, or the sudden loss of a key person can put tremendous pressure on a business. Our refreshed Corporate Solutions proposition is designed to help business owners protect what they’ve built by ensuring both they and their employees are cared for.”


SMEs play a critical role in the Philippine economy, yet many remain vulnerable to financial shocks. Medical emergencies and out-of-pocket expenses can quickly strain cash flow, while competition for talent continues to make employee retention a growing concern. Based on BPI AIA’s engagements with SME clients, healthcare costs and workforce stability are among the most common concerns raised by business owners. These realities highlight the need for protection solutions that go beyond compliance and provide meaningful support for business continuity.


Through BPI AIA BOSS, employers can access flexible solutions that grow alongside their business, from starter options for emerging enterprises to more comprehensive coverage for expanding organizations. The proposition allows business owners to scale benefits and coverage as their workforce grows, helping them remain competitive while managing costs. BPI AIA’s Corporate Solutions plans currently support SMEs with an employee count of just 5 employees and beyond.


Beyond financial protection, the refreshed proposition underscores the importance of employee well-being as a driver of productivity and long-term success. By providing access to healthcare and protection benefits, employers are better positioned to attract and retain talent, foster loyalty, and maintain stable operations even during challenging times.


“Taking care of employees is both a moral responsibility and a business decision,” Custodia added. “When employees feel secure and supported, they are more engaged, productive, and committed to the company’s goals. That ultimately contributes to stronger, more resilient businesses.”


The refreshed Corporate Solutions proposition also reflects BPI AIA’s broader commitment to partnering with SMEs at every stage of their journey. Rather than offering one-size-fits-all products, the approach focuses on understanding the evolving needs of business owners, from managing early-stage risks to supporting expansion and long-term sustainability. Today, BPI AIA supports a growing base of SME clients across various industries nationwide.


With this refreshed offering, BPI AIA continues to position itself as a trusted partner for Philippine SMEs, helping them navigate uncertainty while staying focused on growth and success.


Business owners interested in learning more about BPI AIA’s Corporate Solutions and BPI AIA BOSS can consult with a BPI AIA Corporate Solutions Bancassurance Sales Executive to explore options suited to their business needs.
