DesignTechnica - LGE has just unveiled a TV refrigerator-- a TV and refrigerator combined―in Europe following its launch in USA. This is in line with LGE's efforts at putting forth visions for home networking appliances such as Internet refrigerators and Internet air conditioners.
A consumer research on housewives in advanced markets reveals that they spend most of their time in the kitchen and want to use the kitchen as a space for hobbies, entertainment, and leisure-- more than just a cooking area. Taking the cue from this finding, LGE developed a TV refrigerator that meets these requirements.
The model for the US market features a 21-cu. ft capacity (686 liter) refrigerator that is combined with a 13-inch TFT-LCD monitor TV with 450-candela brightness and 120-degree angle view, as well as radio function. Sporting an aesthetically appealing design and a titanium decoration, the product boasts of an elegant look, thereby having the capacity to upgrade one's kitchen. It also saves space.
Its pretty cool, I guess, but since it will probably cost an arm and a leg to buy I'll just stick to rushing to the fridge during commercial breaks. Besides, I really don't spend that much time in the kitchen anyway. Once the pizza arrives I just put the box on the counter and come back when I want more.
Its not easy being a bachelor.
