LINCOLNSHIRE, Ill., Jan. 28, 2025 –– LG Electronics USA and BrightSign LLC have announced a collaboration resulting in a new series of LG ultra high definition (UHD) digital signage displays running BrightSignOS. These displays will be available to U.S. customers in the second quarter of 2025, with international markets following.

The new LG 49-, 55-, and 65-inch UV5N series models will run the trusted BrightSignOS on LG’s powerful, embedded system-on-a-chip (SoC) multi-core processor. These displays are designed to transform content delivery and offer a wide variety of BrightSign partner content management system (CMS) solutions. They cater to a range of vertical markets, including transportation, retail, museums, hospitality, corporate, education, and healthcare. Businesses across industries are seeking to take control of content, create engaging customer experiences, and optimize the potential of signage applications. These true-integration signage solutions provide end users with real-time access to both BrightSignOS and the display.

“In development for two years and exclusive to LG for the next three years, this industry-first collaboration with BrightSign is a game-changer for digital signage,” said Michael Kosla, Senior Vice President of LG Electronics USA’s Media Entertainment Solution B2B division. “It combines the benefits of BrightSignOS with LG’s award-winning displays. These new Ultra HD signage displays are the first to market to offer BrightSignOS integration on an embedded SoC.
