LG Mosquito Repellent TV At RS 26900 Aims To Lower Mosquito-Related Diseases In India

LG TV flaunts its newest product, not only for entertainment but also for one's health. The South Korean company LG has launched its latest product in India equipped with an ultrasonic device. It promises to drive away deadly mosquitos, which is branded as "Mosquito Away" TV.

The product, however, has not been tested on other animals; hence its general effects on them remain unknown. The device produces sounds that only affect mosquitos. The technology has been tested by the International Institute of Biotechnology in India to ensure complete compliance with the standards of this global organization. It is safe and does not use chemical products or other type of radiation technology, RTN Asia reported.

The LG TV "Mosquito Away" product aims to address one of the health problems in India. Reportedly, over 10,500 Dengue cases have been recorded.  The 2014 records show cases of Malaria reaching 850,000 in 2013 alone. Instead of using mosquito coils and other products that might harm people, LG TV's Ultra Sonic Technology can be used as a substitute.

Studies about the Indian market resulted in a conclusion that no other device with a sound wave technology has been made. However, it is not the first time that mosquito repellent appliances have been manufactured since LG has already manufactured an air-conditioner with mosquito repellent qualities. The said device had the potential to kill mosquitos, but is reportedly not good enough, BGR reported.

Mosquitos could survive a room temperature of 26 degrees or higher, but air-conditioners make use of degrees lower than what mosquitos can tolerate. Reportedly, the mosquito repellent technology is in question of why it was still included.

LG TV Mosquito away will be available in selected stores. According to reports, prices will start at RS 26900 for an 80 cm screen and RS 47500 for 108 cm.
