LG Electronics USA just announced a major firmware upgrade that enables Google Cast™ on existing Pro:Centric Smart hospitality TVs (models from 2020-23, including the US670H, US770H, UR770H series and STB-6500 smart box). This means many hotels can deliver seamless guest casting without replacing hardware or adding external devices.

Why This Matters

• Guests increasingly expect to use their own devices to stream movies, music or photos in-room, just like at home. With Google Cast and already-supported AirPlay built-in, LG is enabling that experience securely and seamlessly.
  

• For hotel operations, this is a win: minimal downtime, no new hardware to install, and you protect your existing TV investment. LG calls it “free firmware upgrade… designed to be quick and seamless.”
  

• From a tech-ecosystem standpoint, it signals that in-room entertainment is shifting from “add a dongle” to “native smart TV casting”, reducing complexity, cost and theft risks.

What This Means for Your Hotel

If your property uses LG Pro:Centric Smart TVs from 2020-23, you now have the opportunity to upgrade streaming capabilities for guests at very low incremental cost (just firmware). Whether you manage a mid-market hotel in Miami, Houston, Los Angeles or Atlanta, this kind of guest tech enhancement helps you stay relevant to the younger, streaming-savvy travelers you’re targeting.

In-room entertainment is evolving fast, and hoteliers who keep pace are staying on top in the competitive race.
