LG unveiled a bunch of new things at the 2016 Consumer Electronics Show...One of its new products is a fridge that looks like a giant smart phone. But the funny looking fridge comes with some innovative features.

The first is a feature that lets you knock on the right fridge door to view contents without actually opening it up. This keeps food fresher and prevents you from grazing.

The second is a smart sensor detector at the foot of the fridge that opens the door automatically when your hands are full of groceries.

Takes all the sport out of checking out the frig

In the future someone will invent a material that’s transparent to use instead.

prevents you from grazing.

Nothing prevents me from gazing is I can get to the food, not even a stony glare from the missus.

[glorgau]

Now you have to keep the stuff in the fridge all neat and organized.

They’ve had them in Japan for decades.

Come on, that's just crazy talk.

What’s this thing cost? If it was a very low-dollar option it might be worthwhile. Otherwise,what’s the point?

[PROCON]

So, is the refer light on or off?

David Foster's fridge. I think the house sold.

[Sacajaweau]

You know the darn kids will knock every time they get near it. That’s what kids do.

Too bad that LG has terrible product reliability and even worse (if it can be believed) customer service. I will NEVER have another LG--or Sony--product in my house.

It’s very pricey. Similar to the variable tint glass being used on some high end cars.

That looks like a shower stall.

[checking out the frig]

Checking out the frig is a natural reflex.

[Wissa]

It’s a mighty poor substitute for the flying car I was promised.

[PLMerite]

Gonna have to find a new place to hide bodies...

[Patriot Babe]

That is true, imagine friends coming over only to find rotten food in your refrig. LOL

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Yabut, he doesn’t have any food in it.
