PETALING JAYA, 29 JUNE 2020 – The pandemic and movement control which impacted businesses has clearly emphasised the importance of the digital economy and created a dramatic paradigm shift in Malaysian’s acceptance and usage of cashless payment methods such as e-wallets. 

This is echoed by studies done by Mastercard indicating that not only is Malaysia leading the region with mobile and digital wallets adoption, but 75% of consumers in the Asia Pacific are inclined to continue using cashless payment even after the pandemic is over. In addition, a recent analysis by Bain indicates more businesses will be more receptive towards cashless payments.

SEOUL, June 29, 2020 — LG Electronics (LG) is introducing its most advanced digital signage solution yet, the innovative LG LED Signage (model LSAA), the latest in display technology and design. The LSAA offers even better image quality and easier installation1 than its popular predecessors, which propelled LG into one of the leading digital signage solution providers in the industry.

The LSAA features a block-assembly design that makes constructing large displays a cinch. LG designed its solution around a single LED cabinet hub (600W x 337.5H x 44.9D mm) to provide power and signal to the entire signage without additional cabling between cabinets to save time, hassle and costs while delivering up to 4K UHD resolution and 16:9 aspect ratio. The ability to smoothly send and receive signals wirelessly is due to LG’s non-contact connector technology with power being sent to each display via pin connectors located on the edges of the LED cabinet hub.
