LG is officially bringing its boldest home cinema experience to the United States. The company’s massive 136-inch Magnit Active Micro LED display, which first debuted in South Korea earlier this year, is now available stateside for anyone looking to turn a media room into a full-blown private theater.
The setup is about as dramatic as it sounds. The Magnit isn’t a traditional TV—it’s assembled from four bezel-less 68-inch cabinets that lock together to form a single 136-inch 4K screen (3,840 × 2,160). Each cabinet uses LG’s Micro LED modules with a tight 0.78 mm pixel pitch and a native resolution of 480 × 540. Once everything is in place, the whole structure weighs roughly 175 kg (385 lbs). Because every pixel is its own microscopic LED, the display delivers the ultra-deep blacks and near-zero light bleed that Micro LED is known for.
On the performance side, LG isn’t holding back. The Magnit pushes up to 1,700 nits of peak brightness, hits 300 nits across the entire screen, and boasts a contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1. There’s support for HDR10 and HDR10 Pro, and motion should look smooth thanks to a 144 Hz variable refresh rate. The whole system runs on webOS 23, with the usual streaming options plus AirPlay 2, Miracast, cable/antenna inputs, and HDMI sources.
LG includes built-in audio: a 100-watt speaker setup tucked into the display. Power consumption averages around 650 watts during regular use but can spike up to 1,800 watts at max load. When you’re not actively watching anything, the screen can double as a massive digital art wall, showing personal photos or classic paintings.
LG is very clearly aiming this at luxury homes and high-end theater rooms—this isn’t the kind of display you casually mount in a bedroom. It also sits alongside LG’s traditional OLED line, which remains the go-to for people who want OLED’s signature contrast.
With the Magnit Active officially landing in the US, LG is signaling that the age of modular, wall-sized Micro LED displays is no longer just a concept—it’s real.
