Physical media’s slow death continues: LG kills off its Blu-ray players

LG has discontinued its lineup of Blu-ray players, however the company is leaving the door open to make them in the future again.

The transparent TV has two primary modes

Don’t worry, you can play video games on it

For $60,000, this transparent TV from LG isn’t on the cheap side. So what exactly do you get for all that money? To start, the TV has two primary modes: transparent and opaque. The transparent mode is where the TV’s futuristic side shines, as objects on it appear as if they are floating in mid-air. The opaque mode is much more like your standard smart TV, thanks to a back panel that rolls up and is meant for watching shows and movies.

If you want to play games on LG’s $60,000 TV, you can do that too. Its 4K resolution will ensure games look as sharp as ever, with 120Hz support. If you want to hook up your gaming PC, the TV has AMD Freesync Premium Pro and Nvidia G-Sync compatibility. Thanks to its Zero Connect technology, you can even connect your PlayStation or Xbox to it completely wirelessly.

LG also highlights the TV’s three additional modes: T-Objet, T-Bar and T-Home. T-Objet transforms the TV into an always-on display (AOD) for showcasing artwork, videos or photos. T-Bar is an info-ticker similar to what you’d see on the news and displays information like sports scores and the weather. T-Home is a hub for the TV’s available settings with quick access to your apps.

LG’s 77-inch Signature OLED TV is an incredible product of innovation and technology. Its high price tag means it will be out of reach for many people, but it gives us a glimpse at what the average household TV could be like in the future.
