LG’s incredible transparent OLED TV is now on sale, and no, it’s not cheap
- LG’s signature OLED T transparent OLED TV is now on sale in the US for $59,999.
- The design-forward TV enables a range of installation options, including for windows.
- Connections to the Signature OLED T are made wirelessly using LG’s Zero Connect box, with 4K 120Hz support.
LG has announced that its 77-inch Signature OLED T transparent OLED TV is now available for purchase. The world’s first transparent OLED TV with wireless audio and video transmission, the Signature OLED T, made a big splash when it was demonstrated at CES 2024, where it was shown without any confirmed release date or price.
We now have that information: the 77-inch Signature OLED T is available at select LG retailers, Best Buy and LG.com for $59,999 in the United States. Availability in other markets will be announced at a future date.
The LG Signature OLED T’s screen can transform from transparent to opaque at the touch of a button, allowing for a range of display options, including installation in front of windows. In transparent mode, objects on the screen appear to float in 3D space. In opaque mode, a rollable back panel turns it into a regular screen for streaming movies and TV, and the Signature T is also optimized for gaming, with 4K at 120Hz support, AMD FreeSync Premium compatibility and Nvidia G-Sync certification.
According to LG’s press release, the Signature OLED T offers three separate display options:
- T objective: a display mode that is always on.
- T beam: an info ticker that runs along the bottom of the screen and displays information such as sports results and weather forecasts.
- At home: a standard smart TV interface that displays apps, settings and other services.
Transparent TVs are becoming real
Transparent displays captured our imaginations at CES 2024, with LG and Samsung putting them front and center in their ‘Innovation room’ exhibits. Of the two, LG’s Signature OLED T seemed the most ready for prime time. Although no availability date was given, it would arrive in 2024.
LG has clearly delivered on its promise, with the Signature OLED T arriving just in time in mid-December 2024. At $59,999, the transparent OLED is a lot more expensive than the best OLED TVs, even 83-inch 8K models like the LG Z3.
But for those longing for a designer TV that pushes the boundaries of technology and captures the imagination, the Signature OLED T might just be the ticket.
