CES 2024: LG DukeBox speaker

 
Ars Technica, 1/16/2024

Key words:  experiment, prototype
The DukeBox experiment is a 300 W speaker with vacuum tube amplifiers. Before you ask if it’s 2012 again, there’s more to the DukeBox. In a retro twist, the speaker’s tubular innards are proudly visible behind a 30-inch see-through OLED screen with adjustable transparency. According to LG Labs’ announcement, the concept has “front-facing speakers at the bottom and a 360-degree speaker at the top.” 
When LG announced the DukeBox ahead of CES, I was skeptical about the concept, including how functional the prototype's flashy features would be in person. But CNET looked at a working prototype and heard the speaker playing quality audio. LG also showed the transparent screen capable of showing Spotify and other music player visuals, including custom ones and video.
