[Asia Economy Reporter Jeong Hyunjin] LG Electronics unveiled the multipurpose screen 'LG One Quick' on the 19th, an all-in-one solution equipped with all functions including a touchscreen, camera, microphone, speaker, and electronic whiteboard. This product consolidates the functions needed at the office or home in response to the expanding demand for non-face-to-face interactions.
LG One Quick is a product equipped with a 4K UHD resolution screen, camera, microphone, speaker, and electronic whiteboard. It operates on LG's proprietary software platform webOS and incorporates Microsoft's (MS) embedded dedicated operating system Windows 10 IoT, allowing customers familiar with Windows-based PCs to use it intuitively.
Applying 'in-cell touch' technology, which integrates a touch sensor into the LCD cell, the touch location and sensor response perfectly align, providing excellent touch sensitivity and response speed. Additionally, it comes pre-installed with LG's own video conferencing solution 'One Quick Remote Meeting' and supports downloading and using popular video conferencing programs such as Zoom, Webex, Teams, Skype, and Google Meet.
LG One Quick is available in two lineups: the 55-inch screen 'One Quick Pro' model and the 43-inch standard model 'One Quick.'
One Quick Pro is suitable for video conferencing needs in enterprises and public institutions. LG Electronics explained that the product was developed by focusing on customers' pain points during video conferences, such as microphone/camera settings, cable connections for PC screen sharing, recording, and annotation. Notably, it features a speaker-focused microphone that clearly transmits the speaker's voice from up to 6 meters away, and the camera supports 4K resolution with a 120-degree wide angle, displaying many participants on one screen with up to 4x digital zoom. Notes or recorded materials during meetings can also be shared via email.
The standard One Quick product is a 43-inch versatile multi-screen that incorporates an all-in-one video conferencing solution while applying reasonable specifications, making it suitable for small to medium-sized office spaces, executive offices, hospital consultation rooms, and homes according to the intended use. Customers can purchase and install mobile stands, desk stands, or wall-mount components depending on their preferred installation style. Especially when combined with the mobile stand equipped with wheels, it can be moved to desired locations or used with the screen rotated vertically.
It also features a screen-splitting function that allows two applications (apps) to run simultaneously, enabling users to have a video conference and web browser open at the same time to search for necessary information or split the screen during remote classes to view the teacher's face and teaching materials simultaneously. Using a separate app, users can also annotate the screen with necessary content during meetings or classes. Screen mirroring is supported with laptops, Android-based smartphones, and more.
LG One Quick has also been globally recognized for its design. One Quick Pro, with its all-in-one design embedding complex video conferencing solutions into a single screen, consecutively won prestigious design awards such as the iF Design Award 2021 and Red Dot Design Award 2021. One Quick received the Bronze Prize, equivalent to the Public Procurement Service Commissioner Award, at the 2021 Excellent Design (GD) Product Selection event held earlier this month, recognizing its design excellence that enhances product usability.
LG Electronics plans to actively target the demand for non-face-to-face collaboration by promoting the One Quick solution, which improves work efficiency not only in business settings but also in customers' daily lives such as telecommuting and online classes. Bae Seokhyung, head of LG Electronics BS Marketing Office, said, "We will continue to introduce innovative solutions that enhance the efficiency of customers' daily lives and businesses in line with rapidly changing customer lifestyles."
