We’re finishing 2024, so why not do it with ridiculous CES announcements? Like this premium (it should be premium!) microwave from LG, with a touch screen bigger than your iPad. I’m not sure what you’re going to watch in the three and a half minutes it takes to heat that butter chicken curry, but you can do it in glorious full HD resolution.
The touch screen integrates with LG’s ThinQ Smart Home Dashboard when you think it’s the right time to change channels on your TV or set up with compatible Matter and Thread devices, such as smart lights and er, and other things. It can also pair with the company’s induction oven to show cooking progress if you’re struggling to crane your neck from your microwave to your kitchen burners. It’s not a washing machine inside a washing machine, but still, you gotta love CES.
LG is on a journey this year.
