Samsung has made fridges with touchscreens before. LG has made fridges with doors that turn transparent to show you the inside. This year at CES 2018, those two ideas are finally merging into one with LG’s new InstaView ThinQ smart refrigerator, which features a 29-inch touchscreen that becomes transparent if users knock on it twice.
LG actually tried this two years ago, with a version called the Smart InstaView Door-in-Door that ran a full version of Windows 10, but it’s not clear that the company ever shipped the Windows version.
This version uses the touchscreen to manage your food using LG’s webOS software and Amazon’s Alexa, which will let you tag food with virtual stickers and expiration dates and get automatic reminders when things are running low or about to go bad. There’s also a wide-angle panoramic camera on the inside of the fridge that will let you remotely view your fridge while you’re out and about to check and see if you’re actually out of milk or not.
Unfortunately, the only image that LG has shared showing the fridge is a low-resolution shot on its YouTube page banner, but it seems that you’ll be able to still use the screen while it’s translucent, allowing you to tag food directly in a vaguely augmented reality-esque move.
LG is also touting how all of its ThinQ kitchen gadgets can talk to each other to make kitchen tasks easier. So your ThinQ fridge can talk to your EasyClean oven, which will help you cook food through step-by-step instructions from the recipe app from your fridge. Then, your EasyClean oven can notify your QuadWash dishwasher about the kind of meal you cooked, so it can more efficiently select a wash cycle for that dish. Of course, all this requires spending thousands of dollars replacing every appliance in your kitchen (and if this all works as well as LG claims it does), but it’s still an intriguing vision of a Jetsons-like future utopia.
No price or release date for the InstaView ThinQ refrigerator or any of LG’s other new appliances have yet been announced.

I am lifetime LG CUSTOMER.
I have a fridge, air conditioned etc. all with THINQ can be accessed remotely (WAN ACCESS)
Some years ago I purchased 65UM7100PLA but this device is accesible only in LAN/WLAN via THINQ
I though this is because old WEBOS version, but I have purchased a new 32LQ63006A with WEBOS22 and I am not able to acces the TV via WAN. It,s the same. THINQ works only in LAN, at home
I question if there is any way to remotely (WAN) access to my TV,s???
This can be for security reasons (turn on /off away home etc.
If fridge, air conditioned can be accesible by WAN whyy tv not????

LG UltraWide Monitor (model 34BA85QE)1
Note: This article is for informational purposes only and does not provide medical advice. It is not intended to replace a professional medical diagnosis or treat any medical condition.
As time spent in front of PCs and monitors increases, so too do health concerns stemming from poor ergonomic settings, such as eye strain, wrist pain, headaches, sore neck and more. A
link hidden, please login to view indicates that up to 63 percent of office employees experience neck pain,2 inhibiting them from achieving peak performance and remaining motivated throughout the work day. To address these challenges, workers using monitors for extended periods should adopt preventive measures to safeguard their health. Here are some health-conscious practices to keep in mind during prolonged use.
1. Position the Monitor at Eye Level
LG QHD Monitor (model 27BQ75QC)1, 3
To prevent issues such as sore necks and headaches, it is essential to align the monitor to eye level. Traditional monitors typically require employees to adapt to a fixed workstation environment, but with adjustable stands, users can modify the screen’s height and angle, promoting a neutral posture and reducing pain during long work hours. Monitors with ergonomic stands – such as LG business monitors – present built-in adjustable functions like tilt, swivel and 90-degree rotation for a more flexible and comfortable work environment.3
2. Maintain Optimal Viewing Distance

Limited desktop space often constrains employees to sit in a position too close to the monitor, resulting in eye strain and neck fatigue. To help maintain an optimal viewing distance – typically an arm’s length – LG business monitors feature a slim stand and integrated power module. This streamlined design saves space, keeping workstations more organized and supporting better ergonomic practices.
3. Adjust Screen Settings

To protect eye health, adjustable monitor settings and specifically designed modes are available for individuals who use screens extensively. For instance, Reader Mode on LG business monitors alters the screen’s color temperature to reduce blue light, enhancing legibility to reduce eye strain for comfort and relief during prolonged periods of screen time.
4. Utilizing Ergonomic Monitors
LG FHD Monitor (model 27BA560)1
For environments lacking ergonomic equipment, intuitively designed office monitors can significantly enhance physical well-being and productivity. Following this trend, LG is adding the new ergonomic business monitor to its product lineup, catering to individual preferences with a wide range of aspect ratios and resolutions, from UltraWide to UHD, QHD and FHD.
The new lineup of LG business monitors effectively enhances the in-office experience with a clean design and ergonomic setup, boosting productivity and elevating comfort for employees to truly enjoy working in an engaging and health-conscious environment.
