LG MAGNIT Active microLED: Everything You Need to Know
LG is aiming straight for the high end of home entertainment with its newest flagship display, the MAGNIT Active microLED. Measuring 136 inches diagonally, it’s designed to bring commercial-grade visual performance into luxury homes — delivering huge cinematic scale, incredible brightness, and exceptional color accuracy.
At its core, the MAGNIT Active uses active matrix microLED technology, which gives LG more control over each individual pixel on the screen. That means better contrast, deeper blacks, and more precise color than traditional LED or even earlier microLED designs. Combine that with 4K resolution, Dolby Vision, and a 144Hz refresh rate, and you’re looking at a screen built for both serious movie lovers and those who just want the most impressive display in the neighborhood.
Behind the scenes, LG’s α9 AI Processor (6th Generation) fine-tunes everything you see in real time. It analyzes the content frame by frame to enhance clarity, detail, and color accuracy, adjusting for ambient lighting and motion on the fly.
One of the more interesting choices here is LG’s inclusion of a built-in 4.2-channel, 100-watt speaker system. For a display this large, most homeowners will pair it with a dedicated surround sound or home theater setup, but we’re curious to hear how good this integrated system actually is. It’s nice to see LG thinking about the “out of the box” experience — especially for luxury spaces where simplicity matters as much as performance.
Unlike modular microLED walls that require custom integration, the MAGNIT Active takes an all-in-one approach. It includes LG’s webOS platform, giving you instant access to streaming apps, LG Channels, and even Gallery+ mode, which turns the screen into a massive digital art display when not in use. It also supports AirPlay 2, Miracast, and eARC, making it easy to integrate into existing smart home systems.
We’ve seen a growing number of clients ask about large display systems, and this one sits at the very top of that conversation. It competes directly with products like Samsung’s The Wall and Sony’s Crystal LED, but with LG’s signature polish and user-friendly ecosystem.
If you’re deciding between something like the MAGNIT Active and a high-end projector setup, it really depends on your priorities. The MAGNIT offers unmatched brightness with no ambient light issues. But a well-designed projector system can still give you that classic cinematic feel with a more flexible screen size and a lot of times a better value per inch.
We love seeing microLED technology continue to evolve, especially in ways that make it more accessible to home installations. LG’s MAGNIT Active feels like an exciting preview of where luxury home video is headed — massive AND bright.
That said, displays like this aren’t for everyone. If you’re not sure whether a large display or a projector setup makes more sense for your space, our experts can help you decide. From brightness and room size to acoustics and control systems, we can walk you through the options that will deliver the best experience for your home.
