The first piece I read on this abomination hinted broadly that the vacuum tubes were simulated, although other sources imply that they're actually there and doing something.

LG plans to exhibit DukeBox by LG Labs, an innovative audio product that seamlessly merges the vintage charm of vacuum tube audio with the cutting-edge technology of transparent OLED panels. Featuring front-facing speakers at the bottom and a 360-degree speaker at the top, the audio product envelops the listener in an immersive audio experience. In addition, the adjustable transparency of the OLED display adds a captivating visual effect reminiscent of a vacuum tube audio system enclosed in a transparent glass box.

"Reminiscent of"

That is the most interesting thing about this, if'n you ask me.

My take: Something called the Dukebox really oughta have The Duke on the transluscent display, no?

The LG (Lucky Goldstar) press release uses the identical "reminiscent of" language quoted above.

So it's just solid state with vacuum tubes on a screen? No way this makes it to shelves.
