The Super Bowl is the biggest television event of the year and it’s being played in Las Vegas next month. Right now the biggest televisions are being unveiled in the very same town at CES 2024, which I fondly think of as the Super Bowl of TVs. As CNET’s TV reviewer I’ve been coming to Vegas and checking out the newest TV technology for more than 20 years. And this year the screens are bigger and brighter than ever.
Here are the best and most noteworthy new TVs of CES so far. As usual with CES most don’t have pricing yet, and most will be available to buy this spring or summer.
LG transparent OLED TV
Over the years I’ve seen a lot of see-through displays, so trust me to see through the hype. These screens look cool: They’re basically windows imbued with moving images. I’ve always felt they’re a better fit for stores or digital signage than in the home as actual TVs, but LG’s newest incarnation has me intrigued. It’s the first transparent display that will actually be sold to consumers, as opposed to businesses.
The OLED T, as the company calls it, can transform between a transparent display showing fish, animations, the weather outside or nothing at all, into something much closer to a normal TV. At the touch of a button, a sheet of black film rises up behind the transparent window and blocks the view of what’s behind, and the resulting image looks like a TV. The OLED T joins a long tradition of TVs that try to be unobtrusive, and it succeeds as well as any. And this beinf a 77-inch OLED, it’ll be expensive when it ships this summer, but the idea is unique enough to make it one of the best TVs of CES.
