We’re wrapping up 2024, so why not do it with some frivolous CES announcements? Like this premium (it has to be premium!) microwave from LG, with a touchscreen bigger than your iPad. I’m not sure what you’ll 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 touchscreen integrates with LG’s ThinQ Smart Home Dashboard if you think it’s the right time to change channels on your TV or tinker with compatible Matter and Thread devices, like smart lights and er, and other things. It can also pair with the company’s induction range oven to display cooking progress if you struggle to crane your neck from your microwave to your kitchen burners. It’s no washing machine inside a washing machine, but still, you gotta love CES.
LG is on a trip this year.
