What does LG have to do with mosquitoes? Last year in the capital of India, New Delhi, almost 16.000 cases of dengue infections were recorded, the highest in recent years. The culprit: mosquitoes, which thrive and multiply in garbage and storming areas common to developing countries.
LG believes it can help its customers fight the airborne threat with a new line of new LCD TVs with mosquito repellent technology.
The company explained in a statement:
"The LG Mosquito Away TV, developed according to the idea of Indian consumers, is equipped with an Ultra Sonic device that, when activated, uses sound wave technology to repel mosquitoes without emitting harmful radiation."
Insect repellent technology does not include the use of chemicals. LG also reports that the TV does not even have to operate the Mosquito Away system to operate. The new TV series is designed and built in India.
The technology itself is not new. LG introduced it into a range of 2014 air conditioners.
LG anti-mosquito nets start from 400 dollars for the 80cm model and reach up to 700 dollars for the 108cm version.
