LG SMART CURVED OLED TV WITH WEBOS 
The 55-inch class (54.6- inches diagonally) OLED TV received the Gold Edison Award in the “Green” category. Model 55EC9300 offers what industry pundits have hailed as the best TV display technology available today –with OLED’s perfect blacks and incredible color at even wider viewing angles – and it offers an amazingly thin depth at 4.5 millimeters at its thinnest point. The TV features LG’s simple and fast webOS™ Smart TV platform, which is designed to make finding and switching between content options – including broadcast TV, streaming services and external devices – simple and fast.*

LG’s 55-inch class models are the first OLED TVs to achieve ENERGY STAR certification. In energy saving mode, display brightness adjusts automatically to the viewing environment. According to the Federal Trade Commission’s “Energy Guide” label, the LG 55EC9300 has an estimated yearly energy cost of only $17. The LG 55EC9300 also is one of the first TVs in the world to receive the UL Environment GREENGUARD™ certification for low emissions affecting indoor air quality.

LG ECOHYBRID HEAT PUMP DRYER 
The LG EcoHybrid Heat Pump Dryer received the Silver Edison Award in the “Energy Management” category. Model DLHX4072V has been designed to achieve superb levels of efficiency, making it the first to receive the ENERGY STAR® Emerging Technology Award for super-efficient clothes dryers.

Unlike conventional electric dryers that consume considerable amounts of energy, LG’s EcoHybrid Heat Pump Dryer was the first available dryer in the United States to utilize heat pump technology to capture and recycle energy generated during the drying process. Third-party test data shows that LG’s EcoHybrid Heat Pump Dryer saves up to 53 percent more energy than conventional electric dryers,** while the innovative Auto Clean System keeps the evaporator clean and running smoothly. The dryer even excels at low temperatures, making it ideal for handling delicate clothes.

LG ART COOL GALLERY 
Receiving the Bronze “Household Environment” Edison Award is the LG Art Cool Gallery duct-free air system. Model LA090HVP allows users the opportunity to express their individual sense of style by displaying an image in a customizable frame, while cooling or heating their space.

Users can choose from 9,000 and 12,000 Btu/h multi-zone indoor models. Key features of the ENERGY STAR certified Art Cool Gallery include remote control operation, quick and easy installation, natural air flow and auto operation modes.
