The Worst Gadgets of All Time 17



LG TV Refrigerator

Yes, you're seeing the above picture correctly. That is a 13.1-inch (and 15-inch, in a later model) LCD HDTV (cable-ready, no less) installed into the right door of a refrigerator, and -- look closely -- a smaller information screen embedded above the ice machine. The smaller screen pulls in weather and information updates via a cellular network, essentials for any truly wired household. We're sure phrases like "convergence in the kitchen" must have been thrown around in LG's design meetings for this behemoth, but as much as we love gadgets, we can't quite figure out why someone would drop upwards of $4,000 on a television-equipped fridge, especially since the benefits of HD can't be appreciated in a screen that small. (Besides, what do you do with the thing if the TV breaks? Throw out the whole thing?)
