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.
The LG Signature OLED T is a groundbreaking transparent TV that blends futuristic design with OLED’s stunning visuals. Priced at $60,000, it offers a floating image effect in transparent mode and vibrant, perfect blacks in standard viewing.

Instagram is making its way to yet another screen, and this time, Apple TV is getting a taste of the Reels rabbit hole. The company has launched a dedicated Instagram app for Apple TV, bringing Reels, longer videos, and live shows to the big screen. So, if watching one quick clip on a phone somehow turns into an hour of scrolling, there's now a much larger screen for that.
Instagram brings Reels and more to Apple TV
Audio-Technica, a brand well known for making some of the best studio and professional headphones on the market, has just come out with the ATH-AWX7000, which the company itself claims to be its "finest headphones ever." The new flagship closed-back headphone has debuted at an eye-watering price of $3,799. It combines hand-finished Japanese woodwork with a newly developed 58mm driver.
The earcups are made from Kiso cypress, a prized wood historically used for Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples. Each housing is finished by hand with traditional Echizen lacquer, which brings out the grain and is expected to darken over time. The frame and sliders are finished in a deep navy kachi-iro shade traditionally associated with samurai.
