The creators of Canaan have launched what they claim to be the first bitcoin television set in the world, "AvalonMiner Inside". According to the South China Morning Post, the world's second largest mining hardware manufacturer is diversifying its product line.
Specifications
The TV can process 2.8 trillion hashes per second at 100 W / T, compared to their more powerful mining rig that processes 11 trillion hashes per second. This power (from 16nm A3210 ASIC chips) seems pretty decent, considering that you can not watch TV on a typical mining plant.

If all you want is a TV, then you'll have a 43 "model with 4K resolution, but if bitcoin mining is your motivation, then you'll probably be interested in a decent brand TV.
The Floodgates Open
Apparently this TV is just beginning.Afterwards, Canaan plans to expand its market base by enabling more appliances for the mining industry, if all this means slapping an old ASIC chip in a three-rate washing machine and hope that the user does not worry about electricity bills …
