    Cupboard doors are too high; dishwashers are too low; ovens have too many windows; countertops are too horizontal; and the backsplash is too far away.

    As far as surfaces where screens could go, a fridge is a pretty good contender. I don’t have anywhere else in my kitchen I could put a dedicated screen. When I’m following a recipe, I just pop a tablet on the windowsill.

      Your last sentence kind of defeats the entire rest of your comment. If it’s just suppposed to be a built-in screen for following recipes in your kitchen, it’s better to get a cheap tablet because you can also use it elsewhere for other things.

        Haha, that was intentional. It’s amusing to present an argument and wholly undermine it in the final line.

        I don’t see much use for a dedicated kitchen screen. Though for someone that does have a use case, the fridge is the only place I see it going other than a wall. More cost effective to use a tablet, we agree.

        To follow a recipe on a fridge screen might also involve having an island to be able to face it while prepping, so even that scenario I have trouble seeing utility.

        I think in the future, the screen will keep track of whats inside the fridge and be able to create shopping lists and maybe even order things.

        But right now, I would never pay for it. Its like the wifi i have in my owen. Never connected it but I paid for it since it was included…

            I was wondering that too… Appearently it has a camera inside and you can connect to it using wifi so you dont have to walk 10 steps to look inside it.
