What is the point of a transparent TV? https://www.cnn.com/cnn-underscored/electronics/lg-signature-oled-t-ces-2024[^] If you really have something you want to look at behind the TV then why did you put a TV in front of it in the first place? Not to mention the less obvious part but it means you really are going to need to start cleaning behind it now.

You can put it backward to look at people's backsides.

I do not want to be the boring guy here, but it does look awesome. I would not throw it away if I got one as a present.

I think the point is that some people don't want an ugly black panel in the living room when the TV is off.

...instead, they'd rather see a bunch of cables dangling off the backside of a transparent screen?
Well then you could see the cat (or other mischievous pet) playing with those cables.

An aquarium might be nice.

The point is to showcase the technology to a wider audience. Maybe not for personal TV usage. But I can imagine it can be useful in some situation (display, ... )

I bet they'll be all over shopping malls real soon now. Adverts all over the shop windows as well as the walls, and those stand alone pillars with a big portrait LCD.

I think @RickZeeland has it. If it's really transparent when it's off, you can use it as the glass of a normal picture, the front of an aquarium or even a window. When you want to watch TV it's a TV. When not, it's invisible and not a big black rectangle dominating the room! I can't think of a real use for the demo effect of having the black parts transparent except maybe for 'talking head' type programs.

In the old (read: CRT) days, TVs in wooden cabinets were popular. When the TV was not in use, you closed the doors (usually in teak, mahogany or other 'high class' wood) and the TV set looked like another cupboard. I have also seen one in birch wood with wood carvings in Norwegian 'rose painting' style - very decorative! I suspect that was made by the owner of the TV set, not the TV manufacturer. (Another side of the issue: '... when the TV is off' ?? When is that, in a US home? :-))

When the TV is still in its box. :)

Interesting thought. There still is a frame around it though. And it means that you do need some sort of focus piece behind it. Another post mentioned an aquarium but not sure I would want to be taking care of an aquarium behind a TV (cleaning feeding etc.) Perhaps a picture. That would normally be mounted higher on the wall. So the TV would need to frame it and be still be supported. Normal TV wall mount is behind the TV so that would not work.
