LG is no stranger to dominating the TV world—especially when it comes to OLED. But in 2025, the company is making its most ambitious leap yet. With the introduction of the LG Magnit Active Micro LED, a colossal 136-inch flagship display, the brand is clearly signaling that it’s aiming far beyond the familiar image of “the OLED leader.”
This is LG stepping into a new era—and inviting the home-cinema elite to follow.
A Micro LED Masterpiece for the True Home-Theater Perfectionist
The Magnit Active Micro LED isn’t just another high-end TV—it’s a showcase of what LG believes the future of premium home entertainment should look like. Designed for homeowners who treat cinema as an art form, LG’s new modular display challenges every current standard in brightness, color, and image precision.
Unlike classic passive LED solutions, where pixels are controlled line by line, which can lead to some compromises in quality, LG’s Active Matrix technology allows each microscopic LED to be controlled individually.
At the heart of the innovation lies LG’s Active Matrix Micro LED technology, a significant leap from traditional passive LED solutions. Instead of controlling pixels row by row, each microscopic LED is controlled individually—thousands of times faster and with extreme precision.
The result?
A picture that feels almost alive.
Truly “Perfect Black” and a 1,000,000:1 Contrast Ratio
A key benefit of this individually controlled pixel architecture is the ability to achieve an astonishing 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio. Where other displays merely approximate deep shadows, LG’s Micro LEDs completely shut off light at the pixel level.
The black isn’t just dark—it’s absolute.
This effect is amplified by a custom LG-developed coating that reduces reflections and deepens black tones even further. The display is also engineered to resist ambient light pollution, maintaining color accuracy and depth whether your theater room is pitch black or bathed in sunlight.
For professional colorists and film enthusiasts, this matters. A lot.
Flicker-Free, Eye-Comfort Optimized Viewing
The panel is completely flicker-free (no PWM), which means long movie nights, gaming sessions, or binge-watching marathons come with noticeably less eye strain. LG’s goal here is clear: give viewers cinema-grade quality without the discomfort traditional LED systems can cause over time.
This performance guarantees incredibly smooth images without blurring or ghosting in the most dynamic game scenes. The Smart TV platform, powered by the updated version of webOS, opens access to a vast world of entertainment services and apps.
Modular Construction—Without the Modular Look
Like all Micro LED displays, the Magnit is built from multiple smaller tiles. But LG claims that its latest module architecture is so refined that tile boundaries are practically invisible, even at close range. What you see is one seamless giant canvas of color and contrast—no grid lines, no breaks.
This cohesion is essential for immersion, especially when the display spans a wall.
TUV Rheinland Certified for Perfect Viewing From Any Angle
Image quality doesn’t degrade when you move around the room.
Thanks to its Color Consistency Wide Viewing certification from TUV Rheinland, the display maintains uniform color and contrast even from extreme angles. This is ideal for large home theaters or wide living rooms where not everyone sits dead-center.
Alpha 9 Gen6: LG’s Smartest Processor Yet
Running the show is the new α9 (Alpha 9) Gen6 processor, built to analyze every frame in real time. Instead of simply boosting sharpness or colors, the processor deconstructs each scene into detailed layers—faces, textures, text, backgrounds—and optimizes them independently.
The goal?
A picture that matches the director’s original intent with unprecedented accuracy.
Built-in 4.2-Channel Audio and 144 Hz for Gamers
Despite being a modular display, LG includes a 4.2-channel, 100-watt sound system, offering rich and spacious audio without needing external speakers (though most buyers will likely pair it with a premium sound system).
Gamers aren’t forgotten either:
The panel supports up to 144 Hz, delivering ultra-smooth motion with no visible blur or ghosting—even in fast-paced games.
webOS, LG Channels, and Gallery+ Turn It Into More Than a TV
The latest version of webOS brings all major streaming platforms, smart features, and LG Channels—a library of free streaming content.
For aesthetics, LG Gallery+ transforms the display into a virtual art piece, showcasing classic paintings or high-end photography when idle. It’s part TV, part digital gallery.
Wireless sharing is effortless thanks to AirPlay 2 for Apple devices and Miracast for Android.
Built with Safety in Mind
LG highlights several notable safety certifications:
-
FCC-compliant for electromagnetic compatibility
-
BSI Class 2 flammability-certified
-
Designed to be low-risk during home installation
This might seem like a footnote—but for devices of this size and power, safety certifications are essential.
Price and Availability
LG officially unveiled the Magnit Active Micro LED on October 21 in South Korea. Global rollouts, including North America, are planned, but international release dates and pricing remain unannounced.
One thing, however, is almost certain:
This will not be a TV for the masses.
Micro LED remains one of the most expensive display technologies ever made. Considering the performance, size, and exclusivity, the price will likely land firmly in the ultra-luxury segment—reserved for buyers who want the absolute best and accept no compromises.
