Personally, I think it’s a nice idea. Could put a family calendar on there. Apparently these fridges had a built in webcam as well to check stock. But I wouldn’t trust anything samsung with a screen.

What is the purpose of a screen on a fridge? Is this common (without the ads)?
If not, how would you not notice when you buy it. You’d need to be utterly oblivious.
Maybe they just have unnecessarily contrived fridges where this person is.

One of the ideas I recall hearing about in relation to fridges with screens was that it could show you the inside of the fridge without you having to open it. That might be slightly useful. Even more interesting would be if the fridge could somehow determine the status of the foods inside and let you know (produce rotting, etc). But of course, capitalism’s ideas of how to use a screen is ads. That’s it. The only legitimate use for screens.

That was the only plausible solution I was thinking of.

Usually like the weather, todo lists, shopping lists, calendar… Like daily routine planning. Some have music or photos.
This all coming from a non fancy fridge owner.

Isn’t that why we have smartphones and computers? Personally I’ve never contemplated going to the kitchen to do such things.

I’ve heard that people spend quite a bit of time in the kitchen cooking and socializing. I don’t know anyone who does that. I don’t know anyone.
