On December 10, LG Electronics announced that it has provided a dedicated LED solution for virtual production to "Studio V," a newly established virtual studio within "Studio Cube," a public video production infrastructure operated in Daejeon by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Creative Content Agency. Studio Cube, founded in 2017 to support the competitiveness and development of South Korea's broadcasting and video content industry, has served as the filming location for numerous globally acclaimed hits such as "Squid Game," "Kingdom," and "Sweet Home."

A virtual studio is a facility that creates various backgrounds needed for video content production using large LED screens. It significantly reduces the time and costs associated with large-scale set construction and location shoots, making it highly attractive to the film, media, and advertising industries. The main screen installed in this project measures 60 meters wide and 8 meters high. Including the height-adjustable ceiling screen and mobile auxiliary screens, the total area reaches 782.5 square meters-the largest in South Korea-surpassing the size of 660 connected 65-inch TVs.

In virtual production, where filming backgrounds must be virtually rendered to appear as real locations, the image quality of the LED screens and the ease of installation for large studio setups are crucial factors.

The dedicated LED solution supplied by LG Electronics features a high refresh rate of 7,680 Hz, preventing flicker when filming the screen with a camera. It also covers 99% of the DCI-P3 color gamut, the standard set by the Digital Cinema Initiatives (DCI), delivering vivid images that faithfully reproduce the original colors. Installation is also highly convenient: the modular design allows the construction of ultra-large screens by stacking panels, with simple locking mechanisms connecting the screens much like assembling blocks. Each module weighs 5.9 kilograms.

LG Electronics has also built and operates its own virtual production facility using "LG Magnit," an ultra-high-definition micro LED signage, at its North American headquarters in New Jersey, United States.
