Design
Xiaomi brings about a massive innovation by introducing its newest designed Mi TV LUX Transparent TV known as the world’s first mass-produced transparent television.
Just like the name connotes, this TV sports a see-through design which enables displays images to appear to be “floating in the air”.
It has an edge-to-edge transparent display, leaving what looks like a simple glass screen, when off, thus, allowing viewers to see through to the other side.
Unlike traditional TVs that come with a back panel, Mi TV LUX Transparent Edition has none, it creatively embeds all the processing units in its circular base stand, preserving the compact shape of the screen by housing the electronics and speakers.
The base stand is covered with a millimeter-grade finish that resembles compact discs blending perfectly into any surroundings.
Above all, even with the 55 inches screen, Xiaomi Mi TV LUX features an “ultra-thin” width of approximately 5.7 millimetres. Sure, there’s a visible border and a base, but other than that the rest of the set is completely transparent.
