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.

There’s also the option of using the T-Bar, a ticker bar along the bottom of the screen that can display weather information, sports scores, and IoT (Internet of Things) information from devices on your network, while the remaining portion of the screen stays clear and transparent, allowing you to gawk out the window behind the OLED T or to another room if you’re using it to divide up your living space.

Press a button on the remote, and an opaque backing screen unfurls behind the transparent screen, turning the OLED T into a 4K TV with LG’s a11 AI processor. It’s both Nvidia G-Sync Compatible and has AMD FreeSync Premium for gaming at 120Hz. The only wire needed from the display is for power, as it uses LG’s Zero Connect Box that we saw originally with the M series, and will see again with the 2025 QNED9M LG is showing at CES 2025, adding to the premium nature of the TV.

Amazon has flipped the switch on its AI Art feature, allowing owners of the 2023 Fire TV Stick 4K Max and the Fire TV Omni QLED Series televisions to create their own computer-generated backgrounds. This feature was announced at Amazon's fall 2023 hardware and services event, and one about which we went deeper in our interview with Amazon Director of Fire TV Experience Joshua Danovitz.

The LG Signature OLED T is official, and gorgeous — and transparent

You had to wonder if maybe LG wasn’t setting us up for something at CES 2024. On one hand, the company has long loved to preannounce its major announcements ahead of an event. And it did so in the weeks leading up to the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. There are new televisions, of course, both on the QLED front, as well as new OLED sets. There are new soundbars to wirelessly give even greater life to the audio, should you decide you want something more than what the TVs can offer on their own. And there’s the new CineBeam Qube projector, which doubles as an art piece. All of that is pretty cool.

Sharp’s promised Roku OLED TV is now available and deeply discounted
Sharp Roku TV OLED 4K UHD.

In January 2023, Sharp surprised many observers by announcing its return to the North American TV market -- and then surprised us again by saying it intended to launch the first OLED TV powered by Roku. True to its word, you can now buy the Sharp Roku TV OLED 4K Ultra HD in 55- and 65-inch screen sizes, each of which has already been discounted for Black Friday sales.

Normally $1,900 for the 55-inch model and $2,500 for the 65-inch screen size (very similar prices to what LG asks for its 55- and 65-inch LG C3 OLED), the new Sharp OLED TVs are now $1,500 and $2,000, respectively.
