LG Sells Mosquito-Repelling TV In India (technobuffalo.com)

An anonymous reader writes: In effort to fight Zika, dengue and malaria, LG has released the "LG 32LG52D" TV with "Mosquito Away Technology." According to Reuters, the TV uses ultrasonic waves that are inaudible to humans but cause mosquitoes to fly away. The TV has been released in India Thursday, and will go on sale next month in the Philippines and Sri Lanka, with no plans to market it elsewhere. It is available in two models, priced at 26,500 rupees and 47,500 rupees ($394 and $706). LG says the same technology used in its new TV has been used in some of its air conditioners and washing machines.

My friend, for less than HALF that price, I'll sell you a mosquito-repelling rock! Shoots ultrasound waves. Humans can't hear 'em. This netting acts as an antenna. And it WORKS! There are no mosquitoes in here, right?

Huh.

I guess this is what happens to electronics that get shipped back for coil whine.
