In the era of streaming, personalization, and mobile-first living, today’s hotel guests expect more than a bed and a meal — they expect their in-room tech to mirror the comforts of home. For example, guests want instant access to their favorite shows, music and apps — without logging into shared accounts or fumbling with HDMI cables. A recent Morning Consult survey found that 60% of travelers prefer to stream their own content rather than use traditional hotel TV channels.
As the #1 provider of hotel TVs in the U.S., LG is proud to lead the way in delivering seamless, integrated “casting” experiences for hotel guests to stream content from their mobile device to the big screen. We were the first to offer built-in support for both Google Cast™ and Apple AirPlay in our 2024-25 “Pro:Centric” hotel TVs, making it easier than ever for travelers to stream their own content privately, securely and effortlessly.
Now, with a new firmware update, we’re bringing Google Cast capabilities to hundreds of thousands of earlier generations of Pro:Centric TVs and smartboxes, 2000-23 models already installed in hotels — with no new hardware required. For hoteliers, this free update means maximizing existing investments, simplifying operations, and delivering the premium, personalized experience guests now demand. For guests, it’s a home-like experience with no logins, no passwords—just a simple QR code.
Expanded casting capability in hotel TVs just one example of our leadership in hospitality display technology, a cornerstone of LG’s B2B strategy in the United States and around the world.
