Long live Las Vegas! I’m contractually obligated to write about this in at least one post at CES 2024. So I will solve it as soon as possible. This year, LG and Samsung dropped the bombshells, both showing off similar (but technically distinct) transparent displays for the assembled press and analysts to see and ponder… Why.
Of course, I’m cynical. LG first launched wireless transparent OLED. The 77-inch OLED T also leverages the company’s work on wireless transmission technology, reducing the need for separate power supply wiring. To ensure that the display still delivers adequate blacks, the contrast screen scrolls down into a box at the bottom of the OLED T.
A few hours later, Samsung unveiled its own transparent display, but it uses MicroLED. Samsung is showcasing transparent MicroLED displays side by side with transparent OLED (oh, snap) and transparent LCD models to emphasize MicroLED’s brighter capabilities. Oh, and it’s not just bezel-less, it’s frameless.
Many questions remain: pricing, availability, and why? LG and Samsung have a responsibility to justify extremely expensive monitors.
Remember to follow all the big CES reveals (and insider views) here.

Flappie AI Cat Door Stops Your Pets from Giving You Dead Rats
CES 2024 Pet Technology.
You know what’s also transparent? Cat flap. Don’t worry, it’s also high-tech and expensive. Flappie’s artificial intelligence cat door automatically locks if your kitty attempts to bring in captured prey. The Flap uses sensors and cameras to detect if your cat has a gift — a pretty damn gift — for you. Flappie says it has compiled a “unique and proprietary” data set over the years, which ensures its AI-driven detection system is accurate more than 90 percent of the time. Flappie plans to launch pet doors in Switzerland and Germany later this spring, but plans to launch in the United States as well. Price is $399.

JBL showed off a set of truly wireless headphones at last year’s CES, complete with a smart box equipped with a touch screen. It must be popular because the company is bringing the feature to three more devices. Live Buds 3, Live Beam 3 and Live Flex 3 will all come with a smart case and customizable adaptive noise cancellation, LDAC support for high-resolution listening, six microphones for calls, wireless charging and multiple Click Bluetooth connection.
