LG at KIMES 2026: New Medical Monitors for Surgery, Diagnostics & Remote Healthcare

Seoul, South Korea – LG Electronics is showcasing its latest advancements in medical display technology at the International Medical Devices & Hospital Equipment Exhibition (KIMES 2026), held at the COEX convention center in Seoul from March 19th to 22nd. The company is presenting a comprehensive portfolio of medical monitors designed to enhance diagnostic accuracy and workflow efficiency across a range of clinical settings. This participation underscores LG’s growing commitment to the B2B healthcare sector, a strategic area for expansion as the global market for remote healthcare and digital imaging continues to surge.

The healthcare technology landscape is undergoing a significant transformation, driven by the increasing demand for remote patient monitoring, advanced diagnostic tools and streamlined clinical workflows. According to Fortune Business Insights, the telemedicine market is projected to grow from $107.5 billion in 2024 to $432.3 billion by 2032, highlighting the substantial opportunities within this sector. Fortune Business Insights forecasts this rapid expansion will continue to fuel demand for sophisticated medical display solutions.

LG’s presence at KIMES 2026 reflects this trend, with a dedicated exhibition space on the 3rd floor of the COEX center. The booth is strategically organized to simulate real-world clinical environments – including surgical suites, radiology reading rooms, and X-ray imaging facilities – allowing attendees to experience the monitors in context. This hands-on approach aims to demonstrate the practical benefits of LG’s technology for healthcare professionals.

Expanding Portfolio of Medical Monitors

LG Electronics offers a diverse range of medical monitors categorized into three primary types: clinical review and diagnostic monitors, surgical monitors, and digital X-ray detectors. At KIMES 2026, the company is exhibiting a total of 15 models, including several new releases. This expanded lineup demonstrates LG’s dedication to meeting the evolving needs of the medical community. Among the featured products is a new 40-inch diagnostic monitor, being previewed ahead of its official launch in the second half of 2026. Also making their domestic debut are a 32-inch surgical monitor and a 27-inch clinical monitor.

Innovative Features and Technologies

A standout product on display is the 40HT513D, a 40-inch curved diagnostic monitor representing a novel form factor in the industry. This monitor incorporates LG’s 3PBP (Picture by Picture) technology, enabling users to consolidate the functionality of multiple displays – traditionally a text monitor and two separate monitors for X-ray and CT images – into a single unit. The integrated KVM (Keyboard, Video, Mouse) switch allows for seamless control of two PCs or medical devices with a single keyboard and mouse, further streamlining workflows. The 40HT513D has already garnered significant interest at major international exhibitions, including RSNA, Arab Health, and ECR, and is slated for release in August.

The new 32HS710S surgical monitor prioritizes image quality, supporting a wide color gamut of 95% of the DCI-P3 standard. Optical bonding technology minimizes internal reflections by seamlessly integrating the front glass with the display panel, resulting in enhanced image clarity compared to its predecessor, the 32HL710S. Anti-glare and anti-reflective coatings ensure optimal visibility even under bright surgical lighting conditions. Its lightweight design, weighing just 9.2 kg, facilitates easy mounting on surgical equipment and endoscopic systems.

For clinical applications, the 27HS713C, a 27-inch 8MP IPS panel monitor, delivers sharp and stable images. Improvements over the previous 27HJ713C model include enhanced contrast ratio and increased brightness (450cd/m²). The addition of a detachable calibration sensor improves the efficiency of diagnostic and clinical tasks. LG’s medical software, LG Calibration Studio Medical Software, enables remote device management and monitor quality control. An ergonomic stand allows for flexible adjustments – including rotation, tilt, height, and swivel – to accommodate individual user preferences.

Strategic Shift to B2B and Global Expansion

LG Electronics’ increased focus on B2B displays, particularly in the medical sector, comes as the consumer TV market experiences a slowdown. The B2B market offers a more stable revenue stream through the provision of products, solutions, and ongoing maintenance services. LG has actively expanded its medical monitor product line from 11 models in 2013 to 20 models currently, and has consistently participated in leading medical exhibitions and conferences worldwide, including events in North America, Europe, China, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East. In January, the company secured a contract to supply 100 X-ray detectors for a humanitarian aid project in Ukraine.

The company’s commitment to innovation and expansion in the medical display market positions it to capitalize on the growing demand for advanced imaging solutions. As remote healthcare and digital clinical practices become increasingly prevalent, the necessitate for high-quality, reliable medical monitors will only continue to rise. LG’s strategic investments in research and development, coupled with its global reach, suggest a strong trajectory for growth in this vital sector.

Looking ahead, LG Electronics will continue to showcase its medical display solutions at key industry events and collaborate with healthcare professionals to develop innovative technologies that address the evolving needs of the medical community. The next major industry event where LG is expected to present its latest advancements will be the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) annual meeting in November 2026.
