The new product displays digitally rendered images in real time, synchronising with monitors, cameras and production computers to allow virtual and live-action elements to be blended.

LG Electronics has expanded the LG MAGNIT range with a display designed for virtual production.

The LBAF is capable of displaying digitally rendered images in real time, synchronising with monitors, cameras, camera trackers and production computers so that virtual and live-action elements can be seamlessly blended.

The display leverages the company's micro LED technology, employing millions of self-lit pixels to deliver deep blacks and vibrant colours, helping directors to create immersive visual experiences.

Designed specifically for virtual production studios and extended reality stages, the LBAF boasts LG's robust chip-on-board LED technology and a 1.5mm pixel pitch.

Users can customise the size of the displayed image and choose either hanging or stacked installation. The structure of LG's micro LED solution reduces colour distortion to keep images true across a wide viewing angle, making the display suitable for large-screen configurations. For content creators that prefer an immersive effect, the LBAF allows for a concave curvature of up to 10°.

The display is easy to install and manage, featuring 35.6″ cabinets and panel modules and power supply units that can be accessed from the rear.

Paik Ki-mun, senior vice-president and head of LG Electronics’ Information Display business unit, said: "A premium micro LED display, the LG MAGNIT for virtual production is an invaluable tool for broadcasting systems, movie studios and XR stages, helping directors to see their creative vision come to life.

"Through collaboration with industry leaders, LG will continue to enhance its line-up of micro LED solutions, offering large-scale displays customised to the unique requirements of diverse verticals."
