CES 2023 – Displace: 55-inch battery-powered Oled TV with unique and stunning wall hanging

At first glance, Displace Wireless TV is a gimmick, but when you dig a little deeper, it turns out that some of the technologies used in this concept are very interesting, even amazing. Let’s just say it right away, it’s the suction wall mount system that impressed us the most. Simply place the TV against the wall before turning it on. The system then sucks in air for 10-12 seconds to mount the TV to the wall. Offset claims to have developed an algorithm to avoid falls. The system remains active and constantly measures pressure to adjust accordingly and keep the TV flush with the wall.

Total autonomy 180 hours

Displace guarantees that the autonomy of this system is four months, but of course, as soon as the batteries run out, the TV falls. The company also notes that this mounting system is fully compatible with a painted wall (the showing here is done on a window). Integrated handles on the sides and on the top make it easy to handle. The Displace also has 9kg on the scale, which makes it a fairly light and lighter model than a traditional stand TV.

In terms of other characteristics of the TV, it features a 55-inch Ultra HD Oled panel by LG Display. So you should take advantage of the very good picture quality of the Oled TV. The second originality of this model is the incorporation of four batteries placed on each side of the TV, top and bottom on the edge, but this TV can operate on one battery. It retracts as soon as you press it. Each provides 45 hours of watch time, that’s 180 hours in total, or one month’s average of 6 hours per day. Batteries are recharged on the included base and not shown on the stand. This base should also eventually integrate an HDMI input to connect a game console, for example.

the Oled TV LG 97M3 with wireless connection It uses extra large enclosure and special transmission technology to transmit lossless 120Hz ultra-high definition signal. But Displace is clearly designed to be used wirelessly.

The offset doesn’t stop there as the TV doesn’t have a remote. It is controlled via the pop-up webcam integrated on top. Displace also offers voice and touch control, which didn’t work at the CES stand. The gesture control offer wasn’t really convincing, especially the appearance of the mouse cursor to validate icons on the screen.

Displace also offers the ability to easily combine four TVs for a 110-inch picture, which is achieved quite easily thanks to the smart mounting system. Again, everything is done with a simple gesture that duplicates the TV image on the other three. Many bugs popped up during the show and not always everything was very smooth. The presented model remained a living room prototype.

Pre-orders are already open. The Displace retails for about $3,000 with its four batteries and charging station. The company is also offering a package of two TVs for $5,400 and up to four TVs for $9,000. Delivery is scheduled for December. Only 100 units are available for pre-order, which is the quantity needed to start production.
