Most TV manufacturers are generally focused either on improving the screen size or display resolution. Some are already offering up to 8K resolution TVs but others are trying to push out innovative solutions like a rollable or transparent display. Xiaomi joins the ranks of the innovative TV makers with the launch of the Mi TV LUX OLED Transparent Edition in China today.
Xiaomi launched the 65-inch Mi TV Lux in June earlier this year. The Transparent Edition keeps most of the specs the same but reduces the panel size and adds a jaw-dropping see-through display. Yeah, you read that right. This smart TV includes an edge-to-edge transparent OLED display that looks like a simple slab of glass when the TV is turned off.
Under the hood, Mi TV LUX OLED Transparent Edition is powered by a custom-made MediaTek 9650 processor. It’s coupled with support for an AI Master Smart Engine, Dolby Atmos, and MIUI for TV. The software (especially the Home page, Settings, and My App sections) has also been customized for the transparent panel. It “is specifically designed to better demonstrate the visual features and strength of the transparent screen,” says the official blog post.
The Mi TV LUX OLED Transparent Edition has been priced at CNY 49,999 (around Rs. 5,37,399) in China. It will go on sale starting from August 16, alongside the Mi 10 Ultra that also made its debut alongside this innovative TV.
