How can such a B.S. idea make it through a marketing , product meeting and land on the manufacture end to become a real product? The again we're living in a world/time where a women sell her vagina scent so...I could be wrong
"LG Labs is a “marketing platform focused on delivering experimental yet innovative products and services,” according to LG, so it’s not entirely clear if the DukeBox is something LG intends to bring to market or simply a way of creatively showcasing what can be done with the company’s transparent OLED display technology. No pricing or availability has been released so far."
It is likely just designed to get them some press and may not ever be made. It is a marketing project to show what could be done with transparent displays. Heck some solid state amps could be slick with a screen like that to show off the insides. In the modern internet 'I have to say how stupid this is!!' world we miss the opportunity to go 'That isn't something I'd want but I wonder where that screen would work well?'.
In the less jaded corners of the internet people are probably not quite so negative about something they have never actually seen or heard and wouldn't be a customer for anyways. Lifestyle audio and 'art piece' equipment isn't the thing here. If you don't have a slab of concrete in your den and your bookshelves are functional rather than art installations, then this isn't for you This is a bit like bald people commenting on over priced hairdryers, you just aren't the customer for it, even if they did make it.
That pretty much sums up the bulk of the current 'articles' out there about anything..... that suggest either it was written by someone for whom English is not a primary language, or translated by AI or simply fabricated by AI that's not too "I". ....
Digital Trend's article seems to be coherently written and informative.
"Alternatively, you can run a fireplace simulator in semi-transparent mode"Reminds of the fake flames in electric heaters installed in many newer homes lately. I do not see the point of this. Please enlighten me.
But, really, why have anything for appearances? Look around your room and remove everything that doesn't serve a purely functional purpose. Wood veneer? Peel it off. Everything in our lives we augment to make more visually pleasing. What you find more visually pleasing may seem rediculous to someone else.
