This Completely Wireless TV Sticks to Your Window With Giant Suction Cups

The Displace wireless TV, just hanging out.

There are a lot of new TVs introduced at CES in Las Vegas (including a line from Roku this year), but this one is unique. Built by a startup called Displace TV, it’s a completely wireless, 55-inch OLED screen designed to be literally stuck on a wall or window with big suction cups. Power is supplied not by plugging it into the wall, but by inserting hot-swappable batteries to keep the picture going for hours.

Displace TV Is A Wireless TV You Can Hang On Your Window

Aside from the screen the system includes a box roughly the size of a PC tower, into which you plug your devices. The signal travels wirelessly from the box to the television. In fact you can use it with multiple TVs simultaneously to create a multi-screen system or even one giant TV.

Another novel detail? Displace TV doesn’t come with a remote. Instead you’ll use gestures to control the smart TV streaming and other systems. There’s also an app so you can use your phone to control the TV.

Those big black rings? Suction cups.

Displace TV is not cheap. A system with one screen and the box costs $3,000, while a setup with four screens and a single box runs $9,000. A typical, wired 55-inch OLED TV like the LG C2 costs about half as much as the basic Displace TV. It’s also notable that LG itself introduced a wireless OLED TV of its own, albeit a much more traditional one.

Displace TV says the TV will ship later this year.
