The products of Samsung Electronics Co. and LG Electronics Inc. have been named in the list of The Best Inventions of 2024 by TIME magazine.

Samsung Electronics announced on Thursday that its 2024 Neo QLED 8K and Music Frame, a picture frame-shaped speaker, were named among TIME’s Best Inventions of 2024 in the consumer electronics and design categories, respectively.

Highlighting the artificial intelligence equipped with the TV, the magazine said that “Samsung is putting AI to the task in its Neo QLED 8K TV” and that “a built-in processor helps power an upscaling algorithm that can turn standard- or high-definition video into crystal clear 8K resolution on the 12.9-millimeter thick screen.”

LG Electronics’ first transparent screen, LG Signature OLED T, was also selected as one of the consumer electronics listed in The Best Inventions of 2024.

“The TV’s Always-On-Display feature can display ever-changing artwork, or you can turn it off to simply look like a pane of glass,” TIME said.

The magazine also described LG Electronics’ Signature Kitchen Suite 30-inch Transitional Series Combi Wall Oven, an oven with knob-free design and a single touchscreen user interface, as “next-level cooking.”
