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.
