The most sought-after TVs dazzle with their picture quality. A new TV just hitting the market has another dazzling feature: a picture you can see right through. Unveiled earlier this year at the CES show in Las Vegas , the LG's Sign a ture OLED T ($59,999) offers a futuristic glimpse straight out of movies such as "Minority Report," where 3D images and video hovered on invisible screens. The 77-inch display delivers all the best attributes of televisions made using OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) technology including cutting-edge 4K video with vibrant colors and striking contrast. But this new display can also be transparent. Think of it as a see-through pane of glass that transforms into "a stunning high-resolution display," said Joseph Akhtarzad, founder and co-owner of Los Angeles area-based Video & Audio Center, which on Wednesday night became the first retailer to begin selling the displays. "It blends into any home environment." Tech: 10 gadget gift ideas to help you tech the halls this year Holiday deals: Shop this season’s top products and sales curated by our editors. The 10-inch-deep display screen remains transparent when you don't want to watch programming. That makes it easier to place in the home. "Where you want to put a TV in a house is almost always dictated by where is there a wall where you have enough space," Andrew Sivori, vice president of LG Electronics' home entertainment division, told USA TODAY. "Transparent OLED ... gives you the opportunity to place the TV wherever you want and not have to compromise the aesthetics of the room or your views or anything else about your lifestyle." Of course, the pricey new OLED TV will affect your pocketbook. Well-heeled shoppers may need to see it to believe it. "Until customers see it in person, they can't even wrap their head around the fact that it can do something like that with the words 'clear' and 'TV' in the same sentence," Sivori said. 'You can see right through' new LG transparent OLED TV Video & Audio Center sold at least three of the displays Wednesday night. One of the buyers: actor and comedian Jon Lovitz . He was among the several hundred invited to the unveiling event and came prepared to be wowed. "They were showing digital art on it. It's 3D and looks like an aquarium and unlike a TV, you can see right through to what's behind the television. Then it's just like a regular LG OLED TV. The picture is beautiful," he told USA TODAY. "I have a place where there are windows everywhere. I could stick it in front of a window and it won't block the view." Another feature he liked: No cables connected to the display. That's because the OLED T comes with a Zero Connect Box that wireless transmits 4K video and streaming apps from up to 30 feet away. For now, the OLED T is available at Video & Audio Center , Best Buy and on LG.com . Follow Mike Snider on X and Threads: @mikesnider & mikegsnider . What's everyone talking about?

Wicks scored a team-high 10 points in the second half. The Associated Press created this story using technology provided by Data Skrive and data from Sportradar .The breaking news is far reaching and painful. It has gone global. Papua New Guineans are watching and reading updates with a great hope as rescuers race against time to reach the wreck of a North Coast Aviation Islander twin prop that went down on a craggy mountainside in Morobe. It has turned our joys into sorrows at a time when we should be rejoicing with family and friends during this festive season. Today, as we bring you updates of the light plane crash, we can confirm that the light plane was heading from Wasu to Lae when it went missing last Sunday. We can also confirm that a Manalos Aviation chopper sighted the wreckage at the crash site between Sapmanga and Yalumet in Kabwum. We are holding out hope that rescuers might find survivors at the site. Chances are slim but hope is always an inspiration. Our thoughts are with the families of the pilot and the passengers onboard. Their families are awaiting news of their loved ones on the plane and we offer them our thoughts, and extend our Christmas goodwill as we hope for good news. Yesterday, the army flew in with a chopper equipped with special rapelling equipment for rescuers to lower themselves down to the plane. The chopper will attempt to do that today. As time passes, we quiver at the thought of the passengers and their conditions as the crash location is quite high and temperatures can plummet in the night. The terrain in that part of Morobe is mountainous and the weather is never perfect for flying. We appeal to our people to pray for the wellbeing of any survivor. Travel in many outback remote outposts is undertaken by small aircraft companies like North Coast Aviation. It is challenging. For locals, it is their only way in and out as there are no roads. Either one walks over a hundred mountains or you trust a little Cessna or Caravan or Islander to carry you over the mountains to safety. Reaching remote rural populations by road has always been a challenge for the past 49 years. We applaud the Marape-Rosso government for it’s Connect PNG vision via interconnecting national highways. PNG is a challenging place to build roads but it would be a dream come true if all the dots on the map are connected by some form of motor vehicle road. Perhaps, a better idea that can be captured effortlessly with our development partners is to consider building a railway network system. On the eve of our 50th Golden Jubilee as an independent nation, we must consider all options for safe and efficient travel for our people. Connect PNG should be aligned with a roads and trains interconnectivity possibility. We have great partners like India, France, China, Japan, Australia where train travel is part of their means of travel. They have the knowledge and technology to match building fast and safe train systems in PNG. As long as we rely on roads, our country will be faced with the same dilemmas. This is the 21st century. We have to widen our travel horizons. Movement of people, goods, services, workers and government services would be more efficient if we link up all major centres via a train network. When celebrating Christmas, remember the plane, remember those who are hurting, even those close to you, celebrate responsibly.Stock market today: Wall Street wavers at the start of a holiday-shortened week

Curiously not targeted often recently, Pat Freiermuth still major part of Steelers offenseNEW YORK (AP) — Stocks wavered in afternoon trading on Wall Street Monday at the start of a holiday-shortened week. The S&P 500 rose 0.4%. A handful of technology companies helped support the gains. The Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 63 points, or 0.2% as of 1:18 p.m. Eastern time. The tech-heavy Nasdaq composite rose 0.7%. Semiconductor giant Nvidia, whose enormous valuation gives it an outsize influence on indexes, rose 3%. Broadcom jumped 5.2% to also help support the broader market. Japanese automakers Honda Motor and Nissan said they are talking about combining in a deal that might also include Mitsubishi Motors. Honda rose 3.8% and Nissan rose 1.6% in Tokyo. Eli Lilly rose 3% after announcing that regulators approved Zepbound as the first and only prescription medicine for adults with sleep apnea. Department store Nordstrom fell 1.7% after it agreed to be taken private by Nordstrom family members and a Mexican retail group in a $6.25 billion deal. The Conference Board said that consumer confidence slipped in December. Its consumer confidence index fell back to 104.7 from 112.8 in November. Wall Street was expecting a reading of 113.8. The unexpectedly weak consumer confidence update follows several generally strong economic reports last week. One report showed the overall economy grew at a 3.1% annualized rate during the summer, faster than earlier thought. The latest report on unemployment benefit applications showed that the job market remains solid. A report on Friday said a measure of inflation the Federal Reserve likes to use was slightly lower last month than economists expected. Worries about inflation edging higher again had been weighing on Wall Street and the Fed. The central bank just delivered its third cut to interest rates this year, but inflation has been hovering stubbornly above its target of 2%. It has signaled that it could deliver fewer cuts to interest rates next year than it earlier anticipated because of concerns over inflation. Expectations for more interest rate cuts have helped drive a 24% gain for the S&P 500 in 2024. That drive included 57 all-time highs this year. Inflation concerns have added to uncertainties heading into 2025, which include the labor market's path ahead and shifting economic policies under an incoming President Donald Trump. "Put simply, much of the strong market performance prior to last week was driven by expectations that a best-case scenario was the base case for 2025," said Brent Schutte, chief investment officer at Northwestern Mutual Wealth Management Company Treasury yields edged higher in the bond market. The yield on the 10-year Treasury rose to 4.58% from 4.53% late Friday. European markets were mostly lower, while markets in Asia gained ground. Wall Street has several other economic reports to look forward to this week. On Tuesday, the U.S. will release its November report for sales of newly constructed homes. A weekly update on unemployment benefits is expected on Thursday. Markets in the U.S. will close early on Tuesday for Christmas Eve and will remain closed on Wednesday for Christmas.

‘Iran can become transit corridor for transferring Japanese products’MUMBAI: Commuter associations and passengers have cautioned the Western Railway against succumbing to political pressure and altering train schedules and reducing the number of air-conditioned (AC) trains plying on the suburban route. On Thursday, a meeting between Western Railway (WR) authorities and the Divisional Railway Users Consultative Committee (DRUCC) - a body appointed by the Indian Railways representing train commuters - discussed this issue, among other things. On December 3, the Shiv Sena (UBT) had organised a protest at Bhayander station, where they opposed the replacing of the 8.24 am Churchgate-bound non-AC local with an AC local. They claimed that AC services were not being adequately patronised. Following the protest, last week, the WR revised its train schedule and increased the number of coaches, from 12 to 15, for two non-AC services starting from Bhayander. The revision was in response to demands made by the Sena (UBT) to withdraw suburban AC services during morning peak hours. Opposing this decision, DRUCC members at Thursday’s meeting urged the railway not to curtail the services of AC local trains, especially those connecting Bhayander and Virar with Churchgate, sources said. “There is ample demand for AC trains, which operate at full capacity. There is no space to board Churchgate-bound trains from Borivali during morning peak hours and vice versa during evening rush hour. We demanded that the new AC train that has come to the Central Railway and is lying unused be shifted to WR,” said Rajiv Singhal, member, DRUCC. “I have appealed to local railway officials and the ministry of railways not to succumb to political pressure”. In November, the Central Railway, after more than two years, received an AC local train with advanced technology that creates more room for passengers. Sources in the WR who were present at the meeting said they have asked the Railway Board if this train could be transferred from the CR to the WR. Currently, WR has nine local AC trains and operates 109 trips daily. These AC locals carry over 4% of the passengers on the railway and account for 23% of the railway’s revenue. The average daily number of commuters using AC locals on the WR is around 125,000, of the total 2.9 million commuters travelling on the 120-km-long Churchgate–Dahanu route. The Central Railway operates six AC locals, with five of them in service operating 66 services. When inducted, the seventh new AC train will be used when other trains are under maintenance. “There is no proposal to send our AC rake to the WR and it will be used for our services after fitment. This new rake will be needed to avoid cancellation of AC trains on Saturdays and Sundays,” said a CR official.
