LG's 'OLED Canyon' perfectly symbolizes the excess of CES 2018

Did we really need this?

LG Electronics must have had something to prove this year at CES because it went over the top with its long, winding, 92-foot-long "OLED Canyon" made up of more than 240 displays.

Okay, fine. It's really, reallypretty. But it just seems like a gigantic waste of energy — even in a place with enough gadgets and gizmos to outshine the Las Vegas Strip. This pathway is bright as hell.

The canyon experience is a follow up to LG's extremely successful "OLED Tunnel" that premiered at CES 2016. This year, eager to build something just as Instagram-friendly, LG decided to give us a haunted house-style walkthrough experience.

Lines built up quickly, and it's practically impossible to get a good photo because literally everyone is holding up their phone as they walk through. Somehow, we managed.

Besides the eye-popping brightness of the displays, there's really not much to the experience. You hear the loud sound of water falling and a bird caw — but that's about it.

It's basically like the world's worst amusement park ride. I mean, the least LG could do is push me through the 92-foot experience so I don't have to walk myself. My feet are killing me!
