LG Electronics USA and BrightSign LLC have unveiled a collaborative effort to release a new series of LG Ultra HD digital signage displays integrated with BrightSignOS. The LG UV5N series, available in 49-, 55-, and 65-inch models, will debut in the U.S. in Q2 2025, with international availability to follow.
The displays leverage LG’s system-on-a-chip (SoC) multi-core processor and BrightSignOS, a purpose-built operating system designed for streamlined content management. Tailored for sectors such as transportation, retail, hospitality, healthcare, and education, the solutions aim to simplify deployment while enabling dynamic content delivery, including real-time data, social media feeds, and video.
Michael Kosla, Senior Vice President of LG Electronics USA’s Media Entertainment Solution B2B division, emphasized the partnership’s significance: “This industry-first collaboration, exclusive to LG for three years, combines BrightSignOS with LG’s award-winning displays. Users gain flexible OS options, simplified integration, and standardization via BrightSignOS on LG’s embedded SoC.”
Key Features
Enhanced Visual Performance
The UV5N series offers native 4K UHD resolution (3,840 x 2,160), 500-nit brightness, and 178° viewing angles. Durability features include conformal coating, built-in Wi-Fi, speakers, and a lifespan of up to 50,000 hours.
Streamlined Content Management
BrightSignOS supports remote management through BSN.Cloud, a secure platform accessible via BrightAuthor:connected software. This enables centralized control over content, networks, and players.
Steve Durkee, CEO of BrightSign, noted: “Businesses seek cost-effective solutions that avoid constant system overhauls. This collaboration allows customers to harness BrightSignOS for scalable, future-ready signage.”
By embedding BrightSignOS directly into LG displays, the companies aim to reduce hardware complexity and long-term costs for enterprise users. Unlike traditional LG displays, which exclusively use WebOS, this integration expands supported digital signage software options without requiring additional external hardware players.
