Like Sky earlier this month, LG has launched its own camera with built-in microphones for video calling, home fitness, and other things.
The company's new Smart Cam (model VC23GA) features 1080p resolution and dual microphones. It is compatible only with 2022 and 2023 OLED and LCD models running webOS 22 and webOS 23.
- "LG Electronics (LG) announces the global rollout of its new Smart Cam," announced LG. "The pairing offers convenient video calling and conferencing, an elevated home fitness experience and much more to cater to the diverse needs of customers as they enjoy various services offered by LG Smart TVs."
