LG SIGNATURE OLED T in bedroom

Now you see it, now you don’t. LG is promising film enthusiasts and design aficionados a totally different TV experience with the Signature OLED T, the world’s first transparent and true wireless 4K OLED TV. This groundbreaking 77-incher merges cutting-edge technology with high design, and promises to change the way we all eventually view home entertainment.

Since the debut of its first OLED model in 2013, LG has been synonymous with innovations in display technology. With the LG Signature OLED T, the company takes a rather different leap forward.

The Luxe Review first saw this titanic transparent telly at CES 2024, where it earned five CES Innovation Awards, including a prestigious ‘Best of Innovation’ honour, and was also featured on Time’s Best Inventions of 2024 list, heralded for its seamless blend of technology and artistry.

Now it’s finally coming to market – but is the OLED T fantastic or a folly?

Since the debut of its first OLED model in 2013, LG has been synonymous with innovations in display technology…

Its standout talent is its ability to transition from transparent to opaque. When transparent, the screen blends into its environment, creating an illusion of floating visuals. This feature enables a unique viewing experience that’s futuristic, artistic, and practical all at once.

In transparent mode, the OLED T serves as a digital canvas, transforming the display into a gallery for artwork, videos, or photos. In its T-Bar mode, it can provide a minimalist info ticker, ideal for weather updates, sports scores, or smart home notifications, all while preserving the screen’s transparency.

The OLED T also eliminates cable clutter with LG’s proprietary Zero Connect Box, a wireless transmission hub that delivers lossless 4K video and audio with zero latency. This innovation enables distraction-free setups, even in open-concept living spaces.

Tech specs are impressive. The TV supports 4K 120Hz High Frame Rate gaming and is certified by NVIDIA G-SYNC and AMD FreeSync Premium. An advanced Alpha 11 AI processor optimises picture and sound.

The LG Signature OLED T isn’t just a television; it’s a premium design statement which opens new possibilities for interior design, allowing what is undeniably a giant screen to sit centre stage in any room without dominating the space. Place it in front of a window, and it won’t obstruct natural light or scenic views; a revolutionary approach for urban lofts or homes with panoramic vistas.

For cinephiles, the OLED T’s sheer size and picture processing prowess promise a genuinely immersive cinematic experience, whether displaying the unworldly landscapes of a sci-fi epic or the rich textures of a period drama. 

The LG Signature OLED T will be available in the States this December, with a global rollout to follow. While pricing is yet to be officially announced, this exclusive technology is expected to cater to high-end consumers who value innovation, luxury, and artistic expression. Anticipated street price is $60,000. Best start saving, then.
