RETAILOBSERVER.COM JANUARY 2017 30 LG Electronics USA. "In January, we will share much more about our 2017 plans– as LG breaks new ground with our revolutionary OLED TVs, rethinks efficiency and interaction with modern home appliances, and raises the multimedia experience with our smartphones." In addition to the award-winning LG SIGNATURE innovations, other LG products earning CES 2017 Innovation Awards include the multimedia-pioneering LG V20 ™ smartphone and the revolutionary LG InstaView ™ Door-in-Door ® refrigerator in the popular new Black Stainless Steel finish. The new LG InstaView Refrigerator propels LG's award- winning Door-in-Door feature to the next level. The InstaView feature – a sleek glass panel that illuminates and turns the opaque Door-in-Door compartment transparent with two simple knocks– enables users to see inside without letting the cool air out. The ColdSaver ™ Panel, a barrier between the interior compartment and the rest of the refrigerator, keeps food fresh by reducing cold air loss, while the versatile CustomChill drawer offers four temperature settings, each best-suited to store a variety of food and beverage items. With LG's Black Stainless Steel finish, which elevates the traditional stainless look with a sophisticated, warm and smudge-resistant finish, ENERGY STAR ® -qualified model LMXS30796D marries innovation and distinctive design. Sponsored by CTA and endorsed by the Industrial Designers Society of America, CES Innovation Awards highlight product advancements across technology design and engineering. The awards are selected annually by a panel of esteemed industry designers, engineers and journalists who judge submissions on a variety of criteria which span user value, aesthetics, innovative design, quality and contributions to quality of life.
