for its televisions that will allow users to buy, sell, and display their digital artwork in their living rooms., the platform is rolling out today to all LG televisions that are running webOS 5.0 or later and will be directly accessible from the home screen. The company says that this new NFT marketplace acts as a “convenient, one-stop solution” for viewing and trading NFTs.
LG will support the new platform with what it calls LG Art Drops, which will profile artists and will serve to preview new works that will come soon to the platform in “drops.” Those drops will feature a countdown that will let anyone interested keep track of when exactly a new NFT is becoming available., a blockchain provider that touts itself as having the lowest carbon footprint.
“To help users gain a deeper understanding of their favorite NFTs and the creative minds behind them, the platform also presents informative artwork descriptions and short films that illuminate the artists’ creative processes,” LG says. “Users can follow and learn more about each artist in the app’s profile feature, and will even have the opportunity to meet some of them at upcoming, LG-sponsored art events.
The timing of LG’s announcement is somewhat telling. Nothing says “maybe no one will see this” quite like dropping an announcement on the Sunday night of Labor Day weekend. It’s very likely LG has been working on this marketplace for some time, back when the NFT boom was in full swing. But now, one year after it peaked,. Just this year, sales volume has fallen from $5.7 billion in January to $903 million in July while transactions fell about 50%.
So yes, customers can now buy, sell, trade, and display NFTs on their LG TVs — but it’s unlikely that very many will.
You can also display everybody else's bored apes or the Mona Lisa if you want to. They show jpeg slide shows.
PT Barnum said it best.
