News Summary

• The product that LG demoed for press in Las Vegas isn’t exactly “final.” The 77-inch display won’t be changing at all, but the company hasn’t decided whether it’ll come bundled with all the side furniture you see in these photos or if it’ll sell those items separately..
• Behind the OLED T’s transparent panel is a contrast film that, with the push of a button on the remote, can be raised to make the TV look like any regular OLED or lowered if you want to see what’s behind the screen..
• I’m an unabashed display nerd, so if I owned this thing, I think it would constantly eat at me that it’s an inferior TV compared to the G4 or, if you want to go even fancier, LG’s wireless M series, which does include MLA..
• But LG has seemingly decided that the time has come to ship a real, bona fide transparent TV that people will actually be able to buy this year..
• But at the end of the day, at least we’re seeing another longtime CES gimmick find its way into a real product — even if the see-through novelty isn’t solving any real problems in the TV landscape..
• This is also the company that makes a damn suitcase TV — review coming soon, I promise — so it’s willing to go against the grain if it creates some buzz.As for other specs, the OLED T has down-firing speakers beneath the display..
