The world’s first transparent 4K OLED TV with wireless audio and video will be available to buy in the US this December. Unsurprisingly, it’s extremely expensive, retailing at $60,000 (£47,463 at the current exchange rate).

At 77 inches, the LG Signature OLED T allows users to switch between transparent and opaque design modes. It has a range of display options, and you can even install it in front of windows. The wireless video and audio transmission technology is meant to get rid of the need for pesky cables and create an “immersive, distraction-free viewing environment” according to LG.

There’s also a feature called T-Objet, an Always-On-Display mode that turns the screen into a “transparent digital canvas” to show off videos, photos and artwork.
