CES 2023: LG launches a stunning new refrigerator with MoodUp lighting technology

Take the party to the kitchen

It’s 2023 and it's time to light up your life in every way. Looking for an excellent place to start? You can never go wrong with your kitchen. CES has provided a stage for LG to unveil their newest tech in the form of this flashy new fridge that is the absolute light of the party. 

What makes it a party animal you ask? Well, the fridge ain’t no basic b. It comes with a built-in speaker and colour-changing LED backlit panels that can be customised to match your mood or aesthetic of choice on every given day. The world is your oyster with 190,000 total colour combinations including Viva Magenta (Pantone's Color of the Year). All these party panels can be controlled via LG's ThinQ mobile app and yes, you can absolutely sync music up with your fridge panel lights if you're into that sort of thing. 

For those of you who aren’t always in the mood, while the appliance is not in party mode for day-to-day life, you can set the LG MoodUp panels to a more sombre white, black, silver or grey. 

It’s not all flash either. The fridge brings some serious functionality with features like the flashing panel alert in case you leave the fridge door open for too long. The upper right panel also becomes completely transparent with the nudge of a finger, enabling you to see what's for lunch without letting any cold air out. Convenient right? While it may not be as fun as walking up every five minutes and sticking your head in the fridge in search of a snack when you are bored, it is definitely an energy-efficient solution to our first-world problems. There is also a sensor that can be set to tone down the lighting to a gentle tone in the middle of the night, to avoid any pet-stepping disasters at 3 am on your mission to secure a few scoops of ice cream.

LG has announced a whole bunch of products including the new 97in TV, but they seem to be keeping the price and availability a state secret as of now. So we will keep you up to date with the pricing as soon as it's revealed. Stay tuned!
