LG Electronics (LG) has captivated audiences with its latest home appliance innovation, the LG MoodUP Refrigerator, which was unveiled at the just-concluded LG Showcase for Middle East and Africa (MEA) in Abu Dhabi, UAE.

The LG MoodUP refrigerator has LED panels on its upper and lower doors, allowing users to change the colours of each individual door based on their mood.

The innovative MoodUP feature allows users to connect to the fridge using the LG ThinQ app to create a personalised outlook, comprising up to 22 colors for the upper door and 19 colors for the lower one.

The MoodUP feature also supports intelligent features such as the Smart Color Alarm system, which includes the Door Open Alert, Welcome Light, and Night-time Mood Light. Users can also connect external devices and play music on the fridge’s bluetooth speakers.

Among the LG MoodUP refrigerator’s other exciting features is Instaview, which illuminates the interior with a simple double knock on the designated door, providing a quick and efficient way to peek inside without fully opening the door.

These are among the intelligent features that consumers seeking to purchase electronics are excited about acquiring. Such functionalities support forecasts of a future where digital appliances can be customized or programmed for unique designs[1].

“At LG, we are at the forefront of electronic innovation, and when it comes to home appliances and other electronics, we are keen on deriving products that allow users to customize them in line with their tastes and preferences,” said LG Electronics Managing Director for East Africa, Dongwon Lee.

Also showcased in Abu Dhabi, was the 97-inch LG Signature Wireless OLED M, the world’s first consumer TV with Zero Connect technology, which enables the transfer of 4K video and audio, wirelessly at 120Hz.

The LG Signature Wireless OLED M is the first OLED TV to be completely free of cables, aside from the power cord.

Its wireless AV transmission solution simplifies cable management for users connecting their TVs to devices like gaming consoles and set-top boxes.

The solution surpasses Wi-Fi 6E speeds, transmitting data up to three times faster, in addition to supporting Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos through Zero Connect technology.

Aside from functionality, The LG SIGNATURE OLED M boasts LG’s sleek Gallery Design for a wall-mounted look without needing extra furniture nearby.

Another revolutionary product from the showcase was the LG CineBeam Q, a small and stylish 4K portable projector that not only delivers stunning picture quality, but also a range of streaming features, while its minimalist design fits into any home design ethos.
