LG introduces new television, claims it repels mosquitoes

KOLKATA: LG Electronics has launched a television to fight mosquitoes in the country, claiming it to be an India-insight product. The television is equipped with an ultrasonic device which once activated uses the sound wave technology and makes mosquitoes fly away without emitting any harmful radiations, the company said in a release issued on Tuesday.

The company said the technology complies with the norms of global organizations and has been tested by International Institute of Biotechnology and Toxicology (IIBAT), India as well.

LG India director (home entertainment) Howard Lee said the company is constantly introducing products based on Indian Insights, making them more meaningful for the Indian consumers. “The new mosquito away technology in television is an extension of this philosophy, transiting beyond viewing experience and truly building a healthy environment at home.”

The LG Mosquito Away TV will be available at select LG Brand stores at the price of Rs. 26900 for the 80 cm screen size, while the 108 cm is sold at Rs 47,500.
