Television and electronics manufacturer Hisense has announced a 45-inch television, and if you’re looking at that number and thinking it’s pretty unusual, you’re absolutely right. It’s the first 45-inch screen to come out, and it’s the result of Hisense talking to TV buyers and finding many found a 40-inch screen too small, and a 50-inch screen too big. A TV screen isn’t like a piece of clothing you can have tailored for your body shape. The only way to get exactly the right size for your home, is for companies to provide more choices, hence Hisense’s decision to introduce the 45-inch model.

It’s not like a massive vacuum between 40-inch and 50-inch screen existed. Hisense itself sells 43-inch screens and 48-inch screens, but there is definitely less choice than if you’re in the market for a 50-inch or larger television. The model in question is the 45N5750, and it has plenty of the must-have TV features around at the moment, including 4K UHD resolution and HDR10 support, plus compatibility with Hybrid Log Gamma (or HLG), the new live-broadcast high-dynamic range system.

Onboard Wi-Fi and an Ethernet connection make it possible to view live-streaming services, and the Hisense TV has Netflix, Amazon Prime, YouTube, and BBC iPlayer installed, along with a web browser. It also uses Anyview Cast and Stream for content sent from a PC or smartphone, which helps if you don’t have a Chromecast or similar device plugged in. A quad-core processor keeps everything running, and should provide enough power to ensure it does so smoothly.

The 45-inch TV has been announced for the U.K. at the moment, and can be purchased through retailers such as Richer Sounds, where it’s priced at 540 British pounds, or about $700. We’ve contacted Hisense to see if there are plans to release the 45N5750 in the U.S., and will update when we hear back. Hisense is a small player in the U.S. at the moment, with a selection of models available from stores including Walmart and Best Buy. However, the brand is gaining international attention through a series of massive sponsorship campaigns, from the 2018 FIFA World Cup to the Red Bull Formula One team.

The LG OLED T hits the U.S. and can be yours — for $60,000
The LG Signature OLED T, with its contrast screen not quite halfway unfurled.

It was a wow moment when we all saw the transparent LG Signature OLED T in a suite at CES 2024, and then the following day as it was rolled on to the stage during LG's press conference. Now you can wake up to that wonder every morning, as the OLED T is now available from select retailers including Best Buy, Video & Audio Center, and LG.com -- for a cool $60,000.

Sure, at that price it isn't something most of us will ever have in our home, but that doesn't take away from how stunning and technologically innovative the OLED T is. In transparent mode, the 77-inch TV can be an Always-On-Display -- a feature LG calls T-Objet -- and act as a transparent digital canvas to show artwork or photos. The effect makes it look as though what's on screen is floating in air.

LG OLED Flex TV

We’re guessing you’re like the rest of us and own a plain ole’ 4K or HD flatscreen TV. Or maybe you’re one of a few TV lovers who own a curved Samsung. Either way, we’re also going to guess you don’t own a bendable 4K OLED TV, and if you do, we are truly envious. At one time, these unique TVs cost quite a chunk of change, but that was two years ago. And just in time for Christmas 2024, LG is offering an amazing markdown on one of its most unique OLED TV deals: 

For a limited time, when you order the LG 42-inch 4K OLED Flex Smart TV through the manufacturer, you’ll only pay $1,700. Mind you, this TV once cost $3,000. We had the opportunity to go over this puppy with a fine-toothed comb, and reviewer Caleb Denison said, “The LG OLED Flex blurs the line between high-end performance TVs and gaming monitors.”
