LG only before CES 2025. The LG Signature model features a 27-inch FHD display. We can finally watch stuff in the 90 seconds it takes popcorn to pop. Let's not be screenless!
It's a touchscreen display that's described as “an immersive entertainment experience right in the kitchen.” The microwave also connects to Wi-Fi, for streaming content, and has built-in speakers. We don't know what OS it runs on or if it can access every streaming platform out there. Traditional LG smart TVs run webOS, so maybe the same is true here.
The company has remained mum on whether this screen is ad-supported or not. Placing a bunch of ads right in the kitchen sounds like something a boardroom of executives would drool over. LG is already showing full-screen ads on .
The touchscreen integrates with LG's ThinQ Smart Home Dashboard, allowing control over compatible Matter and Thread devices. It can also be paired with the company's induction range oven to display cooking progress metrics, thus “eliminating the need to bend over and check the oven manually.” What a plague, all that bowing.
LG hasn't revealed pricing or availability for this snazzy new appliance. We'll likely learn more when CES 2025 begins in earnest on January 7. We'll be there and report back on what it's like to watch Arcane while standing in front of the microwave.
The company . It also announced a new refrigerator with an OLED display and a washer/dryer with an LCD. I'm all for more entertainment options but, uh, what happens when those displays break? Buttons and knobs seem easier to adjust or replace than a giant touchscreen.
