Approximately 180,000 VOD and U+tv exclusive content available
Up to 237,000 won discount on terminal prices until the 31st
Equipped with Naver's artificial intelligence platform 'Clova'

LG U+ announced on December 27 that it has launched 'U+tv Free', a portable IPTV that allows users to freely use IPTV services wirelessly through the first domestic set-top box-integrated terminal.
The reason LG U+ launched U+tv Free is that the need for personalized TV for the whole family has increased as the number of contents released that consider the tastes of each age group of family members and attract their interest has increased, such as 'U+tv Kids' Country', 'Netflix', 'U+tv Golf/Baseball', and 'U+ Idol Live'.

Accordingly, LG U+ developed U+tv Free, which allows users to watch IPTV with the same picture quality as before anywhere in the house, such as the bedroom, living room, or kitchen, by installing the IPTV platform installed in existing set-top boxes on a mobile TV and using the high-performance Giga Wi-Fi environment provided by LG U+.

This product is convenient because you can use all of U+tv's services right away by simply turning it on without a separate log-in. You can watch about 223 live channels as well as about 180,000 VODs.

In particular, it is expected to be very popular as it allows users to enjoy exclusive content provided by U+tv, such as 'U+tv Kids' Country', 'Netflix', 'U+tv Golf/Baseball', and 'U+ Idol Live', just like watching them on TV.

This product is also significant in that it features Naver's AI platform, Clova, and is the first AI speaker with a display. While viewing the screen, users can conveniently use voice commands to perform tasks such as VOD search, Naver search, and control IoT devices in the home.

To easily find the VOD you want, click the "Clova Search" icon in the upper left corner of the screen and then type in keywords like "Play action movies starring Lee Byung-hun." Basic controls like changing U+tv channels and adjusting the volume are also available.

By pressing the same icon, you can conveniently search for lifestyle information such as today's weather, recipes, and restaurants, as well as operate IoT devices registered in the Clova app, such as IoT sleep lights, IoT plugs, and IoT affiliated home appliances, with voice commands.

The U+tv Free features a 10.1-inch high-resolution display and four front-facing JBL speakers supporting Dolby Atmos surround sound technology, delivering both clear images and rich sound. Its high-capacity 9,300mAh battery allows for up to eight hours of TV viewing on a single charge, and its foldable stand allows you to watch in any position around the house.

The U+tv free plan is the same as the existing U+tv plan. When bundled with the internet, the three-year contract price is KRW 18,900 (including VAT) for the Standard Plan, KRW 15,400 for the Premium Plan, and KRW 19,800 for the Premium VOD Plan. Existing U+tv customers can subscribe to the Premium Plan for KRW 5,500 per month.

The U+tv Free terminal is priced at 396,000 won. To celebrate the product's launch, LG U+ is offering a promotion until January 31st, offering discounts on the terminal depending on the user's internet and IPTV plan.

Combining Giga Internet (monthly plan: 33,000 won) and U+tv Premium (monthly plan: 15,400 won) will result in a discount of 237,000 won, allowing you to purchase U+tv Free for 158,400 won. Combining Giga Internet Slim (monthly plan: 27,500 won) and the U+tv Premium plan will result in a discount of 158,400 won.

Service applications can be made at LG U+ stores nationwide, the official online mall 'U+Shop', and the customer center (1644-7070).

“We launched U+tv Free in line with the trend of wanting personalization in TV,” said Lee Geon-yeong, managing director of LG U+ Home Media Products. “We expect this product to be a catalyst for changing TV viewing habits and, by extension, TV viewing culture.”
