There is a long human desire to make our tools invisible — to let the experience remain while the machinery disappears. LG's OLED W6, now available in South Africa, pursues that ambition to its furthest point yet: a television barely thicker than a stack of bank cards, its cables and connections banished to a separate wireless box hidden out of sight. Priced between R99,999 and R149,999, it arrives not merely as a consumer product but as a statement about what we believe a living space should feel like.
