It’s called the Mi TV LUX Transparent Edition, and is comprised of a 5.7mm ultra-thin, 55″ panel with a thick bottom bezel that is attached to a circular base stand that houses the I/O ports on the back. This OLED panel has a 150000:1 static contrast ratio and an infinite dynamic contrast ratio. Xiaomi says that this enables the TV to produce extra rich blacks and ‘unmatched’ brightness.
It also has a DCI-P3 93% color spectrum support and the 10-bit panel can display 1.07 billion color combinations, which it says, is far beyond what the human eye can see. The panel also has a 120Hz refresh rate, uses 120Hz MEMC technology and has a response rate of 1ms. And as such, Xiaomi believes that the TV won’t just appeal to regular TV customers, but gamers as well.
The TV uses a MediaTek 9650 chip and a AI master Smart Audio Engine. It has 20 optimization algorithms that help it produce crisp and vibrant pictures. The AI tech, detects the audio content playing, then chooses a fitting audio mode that suits one of several profiles such as movies, music, newsfeed, sports or others.

Xiaomi is marketing the Mi TV LUX as a work of art, fittingly placed in homes, galleries, museums, shopping malls and theaters. It runs on a custom version of MIUI, which has been designed to demonstrate the visual features of the transparent screen. It definitely is unique, but how beneficial it is compared to conventional TVs, remains to be seen.
It goes on sale in China today, August 16th for RMB49,999 but Xiaomi hasn’t mentioned if or when this transparent TV will make its way across the globe, for now it seems to be a ‘China only’ TV. As revolutionary as it might seem, the Mi TV LUX seems better suited for galleries and museums where exhibits can make full use of its unique display properties.
