LG has announced an all-new LG Magnit display for Virtual production. The latest example of the company’s cutting-edge Micro LED technology, the Magnit LBAF boasts superb colour accuracy with low latency video processing and HDR support.

Intended for film and media production, the new LG Magnit 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 blended seamlessly.

Virtual production has become a staple of film and TV production, with LED displays used to provide a lifelike backdrops for shooting footage of real actors, presenters and foreground objects. Applications include virtual production studios and extended reality (XR) stages.

The new LG Magnit features LG’s chip-on-board (COB) LED technology and a 1.5 millimetre pixel pitch.

Employing millions of self-lit pixels, LG Micro LED panels combine high contrast and bright colour and can faithfully display digitally-rendered landscapes.

The Micro LED display comes with large, 35.6-inch cabinets and has panel modules and power supply units that can be accessed from the rear. The modular displays can be customised by size with either hanging or stacking installations, with a wide viewing angle and low colour distortion. LG Magnit allows for a concave curvature of up to 10 degrees.
