​LG's new TV is also a mosquito repellent - CNET

Arthur T Knackerbracket has found the following story [cnet.com]:

LG's 32LH520D TV is designed to repel mosquitos.

While you're at home watching "Infested," "The Fly," "The Wasp Woman" or "The Deadly Mantis," an LG Electronics TV could be protecting you from real-world mosquitos.

The TV issues ultrasonic sound waves that repel mosquitos but that are too high-pitched for humans to hear, the company says. But the 32LH520D [lg.com] TV only is available in India so far, Reuters reported [reuters.com], perhaps disappointing people in the US who fear the insects might carry the Zika virus to their living room.

LG already offers its Mosquito Away feature on air conditioners [lg.com]. However, the feature can't protect you from "Mosquito Man [imdb.com]," a movie that got only 3.3 out of 10 stars on IMDB.
