Xiaomi has just dropped the world’s first mass-produced transparent television like it’s absolutely nothing. To be clear, we’re talking about a gogglebox that’s properly see-through, even when it’s switched on. It’s called the Mi TV LUX Transparent Edition, and it features an edge-to-edge transparent self-luminous display that seems to suspend images in mid-air when in use, or looks like a giant pane of glass when switched off. Unlike normal TVs, which come with a back panel, the Mi TV LUX embeds all of its processing units in the base stand, making the screen completely transparent. The display itself is a 55in OLED panel with a 150000:1 static contract ratio, 120Hz refresh rate, and 1ms fast response rate. All of that tech should make for a pretty picture, but you’ll be able to judge for yourself when the Mi TV LUX launches on August 16 (in Asia) for around £5,500.

I’m a freelance games and technology journalist currently mashing my keyboard in the name of fine institutions like Stuff, where you'll usually find me waxing lyrical about the latest mobile morsels. I've also been known to cook up some decidedly delicious reviews from time to time, and was once dubbed 'the games industry's answer to Nigella Lawson' by someone probably somewhere.
