LG Electronics Malaysia showcased their latest line-up of products that cover a gamut of home appliances such as their InstaView refrigerators, their TWINWash washing machines and their massive and impressively specced line-up of OLED and Super UHD TVs spearheaded by their W8 OLED TV, all of which aim to maximise energy efficiency and performance with the latest tech.

The InstaView Door-in-Door refrigerator addresses the most common means of energy wastage when using refrigerators: opening the door to browse what’s in the fridge. To address that, the aptly named Instaview Door-in-Door fridge has 610l of nett storage capacity and has a see through glass panel that lets you pick out what you want to get before you open the fridge door.
The magic here is that you can turn it opaque again with a simple knock on the glass panel. This simple feature helps users to reduce cold air loss by up to 41%. To further enhance cold efficiency, the fridge also employs LG’s Inverter Linear Compressor that helps save up to 32% of energy while generating 25% less noise. The end result is food that stays fresher for longer while costing less in your monthly leccy bill. The Instaview Side-by-Side fridge retails for RM10,999.
Another item of note are their latest LG TWINWash washing machines that allow for users to wash two loads simultaneously via a primary front-loader and an optional secondary bottom loading washing machine which comes in handy for processing delicates separate from your main load.
This time around, LG’s TWINWash washing machines are enhanced with their TurboWash tech that has a unique multi-spray water effect to hose down laundry in mid-wash for a more thorough, deeper cleaning effect. Prices start from RM3,399 for the top portion while the secondary bottom washing machine has prices starting from RM2,499 though you can get both together as a set at special promotional prices.
Taking pride of place at the showcase was LG’s latest line-up of OLED and Super UHD TVs spearheaded by their svelte yet massive 77-inch W8 4K HDR OLED TV. This ultra slim wall-mounted model is as slim as its predecessor the W7 – it’s literally a single flat 0.23-inch panel with most of its important gubbins crammed to an external 60W 4.2-channel soundbar to ensure its dimensions remain suitably svelte. Thin dimensions aside, the 77-inch W8 serves up 4K resolution content onscreen with HDR support including compatibility with HLG, Dolby Vision, Advanced HDR by Technicolor and HDR10.
The W8 also has their new A9 processor running under the hood that offers a multi-step processor that squelches noise and offers better colour and image reproduction onscreen. The A9 processor also adds in their ThinQ AI that lets the W8 accept a modicum of voice commands to control the TV as well as search for and manipulate content. This 77-inch behemoth will cost you RM79,999.
