These LG Tvs Can Repel Mosquitoes...either They're On Or Off! by Ripplz(m): 9:37am On Jun 18, 2016
In a bid to solve the prevalent problem of
mosquitoes in some areas in India, LG Electronics
has started selling ‘mosquito-repelling’ televisions
in India, labeling them bug-free TVs. The TVs started
selling around mid-June, according to Reuters, and
have been confirmed to actually repel mosquitoes by
an independent lab in India. Here is how it works:

The TVs use a technology called ‘Mosquito Away
Technology’, which emits ultra-sonic sound waves
above the frequency range of we humans, but within
the frequency range of the mosquitoes. These ultra-
sonic waves kinda sound scary to the mosquitoes,
and scares them off. Since the waves have a
frequency level above ours, the process won’t cause
noise to disturb us when watching TV. This new piece
of technology is exciting as it gives us the opportunity
to watch TV without having to be dodging mosquitoes
or attempting to kill them. If you’ve lived in an area
where mosquitoes are ever-present even after all
visible entry points have been sealed off, you’d know
what I’m talking about.

These bug-repelling televisions are available as flat
screen TVs in 32-inch and 43-inch variants, with
prices of $394 and $706 respectively. That is about Rs 26,398 and Rs 47,302 respectively in India. For now, the devices are only on sale in India, with LG to start selling the device in Sri Lanka and the Philippines in July, and possibly to other areas later on. The company claims that the technology works whether the TVs are on or off. They however advise people to use other forms of mosquito repellents also, and not depend solely on this.
