Nope

To provide some details I commented the mi Community link along with news and YouTube
Please check my other comment on this thread!
Thanks!
Not the first at all, pretty sure LG, Samsung and Panasonic have this. Hell, the first screen I saw like this was a promotional thing (it wasn’t a TV, just a display) like 5 years ago, from Samsung.
This is on sale you can search Mi Tv Lux to see the details
i think nobody branded their transparent display as a tv because transparent displays are not exactly useful as a tv. nobody would want it.
why would i want to see what’s behind my tv while watching a movie
To play fireplace and fishtank videos I guess.
Only Full-HD and very expensive…
🤔 🤣 thinking about the same !
What’s the point in making transparent displays!
Show piece for various business showrooms I think !
Big PP product form Xiaomi!!
This is amazing for advertisement, small shops and even large billboards. Although lets hope this technology becomes cheaper for that to happen
How does it work with game consoles (hdmi, av or component) such as ps2 and ps3 or original Xbox and X360 and Xbox one? Does it even have av and/or analogue TV cable ports?
Besides being a proof of concept of what is possible and looking really cool, one practical application could be advertisements in stores.
Also, a lot of people choose form over function so not having a black background and therefore not having optimal image quality will not be as important as to how it fits inside an interior design.
It’s cool, but I don’t see it as a home TV. Maybe for some other application.
A display is not necessarily a TV. I think the other companies mainly showed proofs of concept displays, but correct me if I’m wrong.
The [panel](https://www.lg.com/us/business/lg-oled-displays/lg-55ew5tf-a) itself is probably made by LG. But Xiaomi is the first to actually sell as a consumer product.
Make sure there is nothing hiding there?
those have been around for a decade, not called “tv” though.
Not as a TV, but as a display it has many usecases. Like HUD in car, smart glasses, as overlay over something (like over person in med school where you can see bones), etc.

For artistic creations in galleries if u ask me. Plays of color etc. Not for consumers. But i like the proof of concept.
What happened to lg’s tv
Yeh, I can see this display technology being used more in settings outside the home. Information displays and advertising springs to mind.
To see the spiderwebs behind the TV.
The only thing i’m worried about is it behaving like a projector. I suppose it would only work well in a dark room. Maybe a solution would be putting a darker film behind the screen.
agree
Why? That is the question.
I can’t imagine the use this would have…
Now look at lg how much it charges you for the same thing. Still expensive, but “cheaper” than the rest
Where can I buy a TV sized black hole for my fancy TV?
Do you really watch TV with the curtains open/blinds drawn? Sunlight has been the enemy of good TV viewing since CRTs.
Exactly. A show piece that is worse than current tech, but only impressive because it’s transparent and new.
That’s a bug, not a feature.
I think it could be a good thing to use it against black walls/surfaces, works just like any other display and since the pixels turn off or dim (just like other OLED panels) it can make for very interesting results. Not now, but maybe a few years into the future we can see good uses for this.
great they removed the remind me bot from this sub, hell is wrong with people
I think it makes a lot of sense for [shop windows, display cabinets,](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yxs4IS9HXU&t=59) etc. Much less so for a “TV”, but as the other article mentioned this is more about promotion for the Xiaomi brand, they get to put out a “first” as they have been doing a lot lately. They were first to market with a [108mp cameraphone](https://www.dxomark.com/xiaomi-mi-10-pro-camera-review/) for example, although Samsung made the actual sensor.
no its not first
In that case super short throw projectors are a much better fix!
😂😂😂😂
Can I wall mount this ?
I can imagine the tech being adapted onto car windscreens for navigation and stuff.
So now you need to design a room with a totally black wall behind the TV, or else get a subpar viewing experience.
There’s a reason why LG and others skipped on this as TV tech despite having TOLED for a while now.
As cool as it *lux* no thanks. Transparent displays are for shop windows and cool control panels.
Why the hell would I want to see what’s behind the display while watching TV…
It’s not for you then.
Obviously
It would make one hell of a cool window, or the wall of a conference room. Think of the meeting room in Blade Runner!
add a touchscreen dummy
Wow you are so smart
Somewhwre before world war, many top military generals thought the plane is a toy, a little thing that can fly and has no military applications whatsoever.
And who cares about radio wireless transmission after it was first discovered? What use is it for?
Sound like it could use great commercial applications.
Exactly. But they would be terrible as regular displays.
I doubt Xiaomi is making the actual OLED technology so who are they using ?
don’t buy a projector and use it in a bright room, it’s just practical thinking.
What projector are you talking about? The Xiaomi TV is based on a transparent OLED panel.
Difficult to say. Could see future consumers applications as well as new usage trends appear and cost is affordable. Maybe as part of new home IoT. The imagination is the limit.
If you could blackout the back of the tv, I would want these for windows…

Whilst you make a valid point for older/cheaper projectors some modern projectors, especially laser based ones paired with a proper screen (not just displaying on a wall) are perfectly fine in bright rooms.
thats what tony had in his helmet
Wow now that is a new level of useless
All of that is in that circular stand.
What? What does that mean?
It has all those ports in it’s stand.
I actually have two of them, one being a ust. They function fine in a daylit room because of the light rejecting screens, but not when there’s sunlight shining directly on them. His point is still dumb because we’re looking at a concept here and every gadget needs to function in ideal conditions to bring out their best.
But is it a concept? Loads of sites reporting it as a commercial product, that means it’s far beyond a concept. What LG showed before (along with those roll up display panels) was a prototype concept, not a product.
What they originally stated wasn’t stupid. Knowing and seeing how it will function and it’s capability in non controlled, non ideal settings is beneficial to purchasers. No one, especially in a commercial sector, would buy these without seeing how they function besides a controlled demo by the manufacturer.
As you stated “every gadget needs to function in ideal conditions to bring out their best” – true if you are selling a product. If you are buying you need a “gadget” that will work it’s best in the conditions you are going to use it in.
Its not the first transparent TV, although its the first mass production tv in the market. I’ve seen the transparent tv from LG and Disney before.
Advertising, and other places where attention is needed. It’s hardly a consumer TV, and they know that
Yeah i can’t imagine myself having that home, but it looks hella cool, gotta give em that!
I imagine it could be good for ar glasses
I’ve already got a window
Wow
No
The point isn’t to see behind the TV while watching TV (the screen will act as normal when turned on), but so it can blend into a room better. Some people prefer that, e.g. the Samsung Frame TVs.
Because they look better in a room. You may as well ask “What’s the point in anything?”
