LG brought Digital Trends along on an exclusive tour of several of its labs and factories halfway around the globe in Seoul, South Korea -- and we’re bringing you inside with us.
Make no mistake: Much of what we saw was confidential information, of the “I could tell you but I’d have to kill you” sort. But we can share enough to give you a rare peek behind the curtain.
The Paju complex is made up of eight enormous buildings each seemingly larger than an airport terminal that sit on 420 acres. A ninth, called P9, is currently under construction. When completed, it will be the world’s largest OLED manufacturing plant. More than 17,000 people work at Paju, many living in enormous residential complexes on site.
We flew on the LG helicopter an hour south to the Gumi facility, where LG assembles OLED and LED televisions. It was especially big: Picture several warehouses fused together. It doesn’t require the clean-room garb we donned for phone assembly. Because technology changes so rapidly, assembly lines are designed to be modular.
The Seocho Research & Development facility. It was born in 2009, and over 3000 people work there, giving birth to high-tech ideas from a glimmering pool of silicon and ambition. And as such, it’s one of the super secretive facilities that LG guards closely: Admission to Seocho meant forfeiting cell phones and laptops, signing non-disclosure forms, and so on. Indeed, we were only allowed to record a short video outside of the building.

This is awesome, LG always amaze me. anything I am going to buy, I always go for LG, except for when I go for phones. Then both Samsung and LG get my attention, with Samsung getting the edge.
shv90210 unless you buy their top of the range products rest of them all crap ...
I love my B6 OLED TV so much. Good job LG!
Eddie L good
Eddie L how much was it ?
Dont lie you dont own a oled

great company with cool technologies in future bucket. Me and my parents have all home appliances of LG and am proud of it.
Too.
Hi -fi, tv's, washing machine, monitor.
My love LG❤
LG makes some quality products, you have to give it to them. I never thought I would be excited to buy a washer/dryer, but the front load signature series got me. First an Oled, then detergent and fabric softener. Go figure.
Side note: This is the first time I've ever heard a substantive claim of half brightness for LG Oled. 100,000 hours? Really?
Damn fine reporting. Thank you.
One of their CEOs/CFOs has also made the claim, probably around CES 2016.
At 3 hours a day, that would take 91 years to reach.

It just reminds of the good old days of me working for Panasonic 😊
No footage of how tv screens are made, why?? It’s not allowed by LG and it’s top secret. Just saved your 8mins
Ikr
It's mentioned at the beginning for that reason. At least now I know a few more details about the process even if it's not in-depth.
omfg ty
Yea, I'd love to see evidence they are building different sounding versions of the same speaker for different markets. Response graphs will be fine.
I love it lg all products
have to love LG products
This was cool
LG is an awesome company.
I'm Not Chase they'll be even more awesome when OLED's come down in price!!!
Chase Harman so is samsung
Chase Harman not their cheap tvs tho. Had to return my uj6300. Total trash
Great sir number one LG
they do make sure you get your money's worth
That's why South Korean people are rich
Thing unknown this for Samsung
Great documentary! Keep up this great kind of work and I would love to see more from different companies/tech gadgets.
I have LG user .
All LG product i have use.
LG is my favorite Electronics product brand
bring more stuff like this...thank you
Always enjoy your videos Caleb. Thanks for this. Can't wait to see what Sony has in store at CES.
Great informative inside look of the LG factory.. 👍🏼. Hope their oled displays get more affordable and they are able to get rid of the screen burn problem.
LG is a best led in our India & I love it
My OLED55B6V suffered a nasty burn in recently that is most definitely permanent despite LG customer service insisting burn in was impossible. The burn in image was from a static image on a UA-cam video that I hadn’t noticed while I was working. It must have been on for just under an hour but was long enough to leave a permanent impression. (Seriously I’m not making this up, it was no longer than an hour!) LG offered to repair the TV at virtually the price it had originally cost to buy. I’d never waste my money on an OLED ever again nor would I ever trust LG again! Picture quality is obviously amazing, but it’s really not worth the misery if you get caught out.
My first job in high school was building speakers .
I LOVE LG ❤❤❤❤❤❤

LG smart TV (OLED55C7T model) - bought it 4 yrs ago..but already problem - TV turns off after 3 sec on....my other Phillip TV is still good after 10 yrs..No more LG TV for me..
Their sound R&D lab is like: -We don't know much what to do, but KEF, B&W and Dynaudio do, so let's just see how our ugly trash performs in comparison with the good stuff.
Lets hope they develop oled where you don’t have to worry about which tv channels you’re watching due to logos appearing after a year or so
Some of my friends still using the 1990s models and some are using the latest OLEDs. And I am also planning to buy LG tv
SAMSUNG and LG are both tough competitors in South Korea
Sony better than those two.
@@RobertK1993 LG provides Panel For Sony So How Sony is Superior 🙄
@@saravanank1058 Simply better processor for upscaling and better colour accuracy and motion processing just because use same panel don't mean LG OLED TVs are equal to Sony Bravia OLED TVs . LG had advantage with HDMI 2.1 in 2019 and 2020 for gaming they squandered it buggy HDMI 2.1 ports on all thier OLED TVs now Sony beats LG all areas including gaming with A90J and A80J
@@saravanank1058 LG doesn't supply Sony with OLED panels different division called LG display do they don't see Sony as a computer but as costumer like they do Panasonic.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤@@RobertK1993
🙂 Awesome vid, im a big LG fan.
So, how are those Tv's made then? I'm still wondering.
My LG LED TV showing 8 white spots after 13 months of uses (just after warranty period ends) still I trust the brand and recently brought LG double door Refrigerator....😎
Nitin Z its the same of my tv 6 white spot
Buy Sony Bravia OLED Master Series in 2021
While Lg's factory in south korea looks like they take great care in their panel manufacturing I cannot say the same for their factory in Mexico.
I went through 4, yes 4 65E6P OLED Tvs that had either severe vignetting on the sides, several dead pixels on one tv, and 3d filter alignment issues.
My 4th set was better than the last 3 but even that one had hairline scratches all around the perimeter of the tvs screen from workers mishandling at their mexico plant.
Cheap labor sucks when it comes to quality control! I wish I could've bought one of these directly from their made in korea plant.
I have 6 Sony tvs dating back to 1995 that all still work. I bought one LG 3D 55" tv around 2009 that went black 3 years later.
one of few videos I watched non stop 8 minutes
lovely LG factory service😃😃😃
lg refrigerator is the best among all of its products
every rider praises his horse-samsung is the largest manufacturer of electronic equipment in the world...
De elektronische evolutie van de laatste 50 jaar, is gewoon ongelooflijk. (y)
Still haven’t found a solution to burn in 🔥 Great company LG🙈
I love Lg
took LG six weeks to fix my TV after HDMI port stopped working. wouldn't be so bad but the 43 inch TV only came with two HDMI ports to begin with, pretty pathetic HDMI count.
Dee I have 3 HDMI ports on my 32 inch 768p lg tv lmao
I love all Lg products!!
Every LG TV we've had lasts 4-5 years .. that's it. LG seriously needs to fix that problem. It's not the panels, it's their electronics...
D Jaquith sounds like they design it that way so you are forced to buy/upgrade to a new tv. By the 3rd or 5th year they stop making the parts for said tv so you're SOL when it comes to a repair.
I extremely agree with you and i bought a 24 inch tv it work just 3 hours and burn main board.very good job lg,i never go for lg again.TCL amazing TV brand and work sooo long time with high quality picture and reasonable pricing.
lcnin xboom çok güzel gorunumu bile kaliteli on9 kule hoperler. adamlar nekadar güzel urun yapıyor.
Goodbye Samsung, hello LG...
LG is an ant in front of Samsung
Can you please do a video like this about Samsung & Sony.
Juan Saucedo there tv's don't stand a chance against OLED
In 2017 Sony will be sourcing panels from LG and producing their own Oled's, at least that's the prevailing scuttlebutt. It will be interesting to see how the pricing for the Sony's compares, and the technical differences.
LG IS THE BEST BRAND..
great tour, more please!
I❤LG
Had lucky goldstar remote tv in 1980. Got into samsung in 2000 and by 2010 jad to bail as the quality started to become an issue. Back to lg now and im glad i made the switch.
Thank you for the respectful reference to James Brown. Great information!
Lg TVs are very durable and high quality
Awesome !!!
5:56 bullseye.. 4K LG signature
So what your saying is we are paying way to much for the tv since it's easier to put together and harder to make the screen then it weighs itself out meaning there all about the same to make yeah the screen may be slightly harder to make but not enough to justify the price thanks for the video
I would just like to know where i could get a replacement 60 inch lcd panel for 60UJ6300 model tv
bowers and wilkins is their bench mark... okay i didnt expect that
Awesome video 👍👍👌
Too bad they cant source good leds. Under 2 years they generally burn out. Hence a 1 year warranty. I just had to open up my 65” today. 1 dead led killed the whole tv..Not even 2 years old. Pretty shitty for a $1000+ tv...lesson learned? Always buy an extended warranty and always turn your backlights down to like 50%. I saved mine, but most end up in the dump
Neat heli Ride Bro
Good LG
8 minutes clip is hardly an inside of a factory..
Think about this.. The TV crew flew an incredible long distance to simply put together a 8 min video clip.
2021 clear screens see both sides has eventuated
fridge screen displays never really took off .
Yes, because we all have professional acoustically treated rooms and anechoic chambers.
Man that security is as tight as a FedEx you can’t bring anything in unless you have clearance
lg is a very best company
i love LG~~~
Apple where are you ? Watch and learn 🤣
Wow caleb this is so cool..honestly
Didn't show how the core element of the TV is made, the pixel.
That Coolio quote tho 😎😎
is that reliability testing 100% or are they taking samples? based on volume, my hunch is that it is statistical QC sampling. which is OK, just not specified here.
Tnks for the vid , DT is my fav channel
stress test tv ? and then we get vertical banding and burn in
thanks
I love South Korean products
Just get the price of OLED down please!!!
That why Sony and Panasonic use LG panels.
This Year, 55" will be around $999$ 65" about $1599. How cheap do you want it?
No, they should throw these trashy burn in prone pieces of crap out and put all time and energy into microLED
@@RobertK1993 Philips too
Lucky Goldstar with a facelift.
april 25/24 still amazing..⚠
LG is king.
World's largest home appliances company and OLED panel producer as well.
Very nice video!
i always love lg tv's,,,i buy lg 4k tv also
Philips, Panasonic & Sony buy their panels OLED from LG.
That tells everything who 's the boss.
I want to be part pf the people who make this LG technology. I imagine making the latest tech for my home.
I have told many that gold star is.lg but thy do not believe
Ladoo Page Gold Star Korean is ‘Geumseong’. LG stands for ‘Lucky Geumseong’ not Life’s Good. Which is their marketing phrase.
and indeed you are right.
They can't admit that Samsung isn't the leader anymore
Good that you wrote it is South Korea. Someone might think it's north one 🤔
Hey ,can anyone tell me what's the lifespan of OLED panel(2017) models
nice and good look
Would've been even cooler if the helicopter would've been built by LG themselves, like Samsung or Mitsubishi does.
Too bad their LED back lights are so problematic, I had one less than a year before the back light died and it died 3 months later after I repaired it, now I have a Samsung...
Please upload vedios for Tv metal parts production.
Where all here because we're waiting for our 4K oled tv to show up
BreachingTBone damn u got me
I LOVE LG, I LOVE LG CRT TV ND LED TV
Lg is best company
Shailesh Yadav no Samsung is
Shailesh Yadav lol
Abe lol to tu h
Samsung and LG headquarters is in korea . So no point in comparing. Every components from any electronic is all made in china.
Can any of you agree that the best sound achieved during the 1980s? I mean how loud and resonant can be perfectly did? All we buy are brand names.(Sound Speakers) Now for tv, I can see why the HDTV invented.
if they did their testing, then why do people get burn ins with oled?
Lg, good product.
They need to fix vertical banding for OLEDs
Tell your woman not to clean screen with water or solutions.
Water goes directly to the t-coin and makes gost ol lines
Is it true they test hundred of hours before? Doesnt make sense because i have C8 and its vertical banding is better after 200 hours compare to 0 hours.
how do i correct my LG LED DIGITAL TV which has developed a vertical line and fluttering pictures.
LG42Ld650 LCD TV has very bad Product. After 3 years I am very worried, already 2 Times new main board replacement ,my problems is before 6 months Power indicator light is Blinking,LG service engineers advice Main Board faulty please change this board.please suggest me how to solve this problem.help plz
