PIP (Picture-in-Picture) is a common feature available on smartphones and PCs. Nowadays, the Picture-in-Picture feature can be seen in Smart TVs like LG and Samsung. The PIP feature allows you to use multi-window for playback videos. On your LG TV, the Picture In Picture feature allows you to simultaneously view images or videos from two input sources, TV and AV.
