163-Inch LG MAGNIT Gen 2 MicroLED Now at Starpower Dallas

There are big TVs, and then there are displays that completely change what you think a screen can be.

The new 163-inch LG MAGNIT Gen 2 MicroLED display is now installed at Starpower’s North Dallas showroom, giving Dallas-Fort Worth homeowners, designers, architects and commercial clients the opportunity to experience one of LG’s newest large-format display technologies in person.

And this is not simply a 163-inch television.

The LG MAGNIT Gen 2 is a premium MicroLED system designed around enormous image size, deep blacks, vivid color, wide viewing angles and the flexibility to create large-scale residential and commercial installations. LG selected Starpower’s flagship Dallas showroom for the new display’s U.S. debut and first public appearance. 

Experience It: If you have wondered what comes after an 85-inch, 98-inch or even 115-inch television, this is where the conversation gets interesting. The 163-inch LG MAGNIT Gen 2 gives you the scale normally associated with projection, but through a direct-view MicroLED display designed to create an exceptionally large, bright and high-impact image.

And now you can actually see one in Dallas instead of trying to understand it from a spec sheet.

What is the LG MAGNIT Gen 2 MicroLED?

LG MAGNIT is LG’s premium MicroLED display platform. Instead of thinking about it like a conventional television, think of MAGNIT as a large-format display system. Multiple precision-aligned LED modules work together to create one enormous image.

The new Gen 2 LG MAGNIT MicroLED display is designed to bring stunning detail, vibrant color, and incredible clarity to premium spaces - with ultra-fine pixel pitch, exceptional brightness and contrast, and smooth motion up to 120Hz.

The practical difference is scale.At 163 inches, the display begins to blur the line between a premium television, a private cinema screen and an architectural feature of the room. That is what makes seeing it in person so important.

How LG is Reimagining the Home Theater

Every LG Extreme Home Cinema display arrives as a complete, preconfigured solution, so the theater you imagined is the theater you get. No guesswork about matched components. No compromise between the screen and the brain behind it.

A single remote and on-screen interface put brightness, picture mode, and multi-view layouts in your hand, so you are never hunting through menus during a film. Want the game in one window and the race in another? Multi-view makes it a two-second decision.

A built-in light sensor adapts brightness as daylight fades, so the image always looks its best. Onboard content keeps the screen alive beyond movie night with art, photography, streaming, wireless mirroring. Crestron Connected certification lets one touch panel command your cinema alongside lighting, shades and audio.

Seeing the Scale of a 163-Inch MicroLED Display

A screen this size changes the experience because the picture is no longer something sitting in the room. It starts becoming the room.

For perspective, customers shopping for premium televisions today may already consider 83-, 85-, 98- or 100-plus-inch screens unusually large. Moving to 163 inches is another category entirely.

That creates some exciting possibilities for:

• Dedicated home theaters

• Luxury media rooms

• Sports and game-day rooms

• Large great rooms

• Executive conference spaces

• Hospitality environments

• Private clubs

• Corporate presentation spaces

• High-end commercial installations

But bigger is not automatically better.

Our take is the same advice we give with any premium display: design around the room first.

Viewing distance, seating position, ambient light, audio, wall construction, control, equipment location and the architecture around the display matter just as much as the number on the spec sheet.

Where MicroLED Makes a Difference

Creating a huge image is only useful if the image still looks convincing.

LG designed the MAGNIT Gen 2 around several technologies intended to maintain picture consistency across a very large display.

One of those is LG’s FLAT — Front Line Aligned Tiling — technology, which precisely aligns the LED modules during production to help minimize gaps and black-level variation between sections of the screen. 

The display also offers 160-degree horizontal and vertical viewing angles. That becomes especially important in larger rooms because not everyone is sitting directly in front of the center of a 163-inch screen. 

LG also uses chip transfer technology, full black coating and surface treatment to support deeper black levels, color reproduction and contrast. HDR10 and HLG are supported for compatible HDR content. 

The short version: the engineering is not just about making the picture bigger. It is about making a very big picture still look like one picture.

Is MicroLED better than a projector for a home theater?

Not automatically. They solve the big-screen problem differently.

Projection is still an excellent way to create a very large cinematic image, especially in a properly designed theater where light can be controlled.

MicroLED takes a different approach: the display itself produces the image.

Here is the practical conversation:

If your priority is…	Start by exploring…
Traditional cinematic theater experience	Projection
Extremely large direct-view image	MicroLED
Dedicated dark theater	Either, depending on the design
Bright multipurpose luxury room	MicroLED deserves a serious look
Maximum screen size for a given budget	Projection may make more sense
Statement display integrated into the architecture	MicroLED
Sports, entertainment and high-impact visual content	MicroLED can be extremely compelling

The hot take: do not choose MicroLED because 163 inches sounds impressive. Choose it because the room deserves that kind of display.

A properly designed 163-inch system can be extraordinary. Put into the wrong room, the same display can simply be oversized.

That is why we want customers to see this technology before making that decision.

Is LG MAGNIT only for commercial installations?

No.

The new LMPD has capabilities designed for sophisticated commercial projects, but LG’s broader MAGNIT LMPx family includes the LMPA and LMPB as well, with applications across both premium residential and commercial spaces.

For luxury residential projects, that opens up an interesting category between the traditional television and the dedicated projection theater.

Imagine a great room where the display needs to make an architectural statement.

Or a private sports room built around Cowboys football, Mavericks basketball, Stars hockey and major events.

Or a dedicated entertainment space where the owner simply wants an enormous direct-view image rather than projection.

Those are the kinds of projects where MicroLED starts becoming more than a technology demo.

The LG MAGNIT Experience Is Best Seen in Person

Online photos are almost useless for judging something like this.

Your laptop screen cannot show you what a 163-inch MicroLED looks like.

A YouTube video cannot accurately recreate its scale.

And a specification sheet cannot tell you how your eyes react when you stand in front of an image this large.

This is one of those technologies that makes much more sense after five minutes in a showroom.

Watch movement. Move off-center. Look at dark scenes. Put on sports. Look at detailed 4K material. Then step back and consider how that kind of image would actually fit into your room.

That is the value of the demo.

“Premium spaces demand technology that enhances the environment without compromising the design vision. By showcasing LG’s new MAGNIT Gen 2 Micro LED display, we’re giving customers a first-hand look at how premium display technology can deliver a powerful visual experience while fitting into sophisticated and high-impact settings.”

— David Pidgeon, CEO of Starpower

What to Consider When Planning for a 163-Inch Display

The screen gets the attention. The room determines whether the finished system is great.

For a display at this level, we look at the entire environment.

1. Viewing distance

A 163-inch picture needs enough space for the image to feel immersive without becoming uncomfortable.

2. Audio

A picture this large deserves audio with the same sense of scale. Speaker placement, Dolby Atmos, subwoofers and acoustic design should be part of the conversation from the beginning.

3. Lighting

Room lighting can dramatically change the experience. Architectural lighting and automated lighting scenes help the room transition from everyday use to serious viewing.

4. Motorized shades

If the space has large windows, controlling daylight and reflections can become part of the display design.

5. Networking and sources

Streaming quality, source components, network reliability and control become more noticeable when everything is being viewed at enormous scale.

6. Integration

The best version of a room like this does not require six remotes and three apps. Display, audio, lighting, shades and other systems can be designed to work together.

The product matters.

The finished room matters more.

Why is the LG MAGNIT Gen 2 coming to Starpower?

LG chose Starpower’s flagship Dallas showroom for the new MAGNIT Gen 2 LMPD’s U.S. debut, giving customers a first-hand opportunity to experience the display and learn about LG’s wider MAGNIT lineup. 

For us, that fits exactly what a Starpower showroom should be.

You should be able to walk in and experience technology that is difficult — or sometimes impossible — to properly evaluate online.

We want you to experience something you have probably never seen before.

The 163-inch LG MAGNIT Gen 2 MicroLED is now installed in our North Dallas showroom, and it is absolutely one of those products.

Who should come see it?

You do not need to be ready to buy a 163-inch display to make the demo worthwhile.

Come see it if you are:

• Building a luxury home

• Planning a dedicated theater or media room

• Designing a large entertainment space

• Looking for a multi-screen experience - watch multiple sporting events at once

• Comparing projection with direct-view display technology

• An architect or interior designer working on a high-end project

• Designing a corporate or commercial video environment

• Or simply interested in seeing where premium display technology is heading

Sometimes the best reason to visit a showroom is simply to reset your expectations.

This display will do that.

Final expert takeaway

The most interesting thing about the 163-inch LG MAGNIT Gen 2 is not that LG built an enormous screen.

It is what happens when MicroLED starts becoming a realistic design option for spaces where a conventional TV is too small and projection is not the desired experience.

That is a very different conversation than buying the biggest television available.

It means thinking about the display, architecture, audio, lighting, control and the experience of the entire room together.

The good news for Dallas-Fort Worth customers is that you no longer have to imagine what that looks like.

Come experience the 163-inch LG MAGNIT Gen 2 MicroLED in person at the Starpower North Dallas showroom or schedule a private demonstration with our team.
