I’m not sure what you’ll be watching for the three and a half minutes it takes to heat up that butter chicken curry, but you can do it in stunning Full HD resolution.
The touchscreen integrates with LG’s ThinQ Smart Home dashboard if you think it’s a good time to change channels on your TV or tinker with compatible Matter and Thread devices, like smart lights and more. It can also pair with the company’s induction oven to display cooking progress if you have trouble getting your neck from your microwave to your kitchen burners. It’s no washing machine inside a washing machinebut still, you gotta love CES.
LG is on a journey This year.
