LG has been doing some interesting things with fridges for some time but this is the first one to arrive with an in-built high definition TV (HDTV). Whirlpool also has an entertainment fridge, but no HDTV.
This double door Lg_hdtv_fridge LG fridge, sporting an ice-maker on one door and a 15in HDTV with digital TV tuner on the other, was unwrapped at the recent 2007 Kitchen & Bath Industry Show in Las Vegas. There’s also an FM radio and a port for hooking up a DVD player.
For those that can’t be bothered to look out the window, the new fridge will also deliver personalised weather forecasts based on your geographic area. It features a ‘recipe bank’ that stores a 100 pre-installed recipes from the Culinary Institute of America.
There’s also a handy child lock to keep little Johnny away from the Haagen Daaz. It’s due out next month – in the US to start – and will cost £2,000.
