The firm Displace’s TV has four rechargeable batteries inside that can power it for around a month. The remote is likewise abandoned in favor of gesture-tracking.
Although they can be inconvenient, one firm has completely done away with wires in its new battery-powered TV.
A business called Displace is showcasing their “truly wireless TV” at CES, and a few units are already available for pre-order. The so-called Displace TV substitutes four rechargeable batteries for the standard power cord.
The 55-inch OLED TV does, however, eliminate ugly wires. Nevertheless, depending on how frequently you watch it, it can only operate for roughly a month on the four batteries. The owner will need to routinely replenish the batteries in order to keep the TV operating. Although it may seem cumbersome, the batteries may be changed and recharged separately while the TV is on.
The 20-pound TV was made by Displace to be simple to mount and transport. It has a “unique active-loop vacuum technology” that claims to adhere to any surface.
Displace also completely removed ports from the TV. It transmits media from a “base unit,” which essentially serves as a minicomputer equipped with an AMD CPU and an Nvidia GPU, to receive material. The same base unit can connect to Wi-Fi, but it still needs to be physically hooked into an electrical outlet. The TV itself supports Wi-Fi 6E and has a 4K resolution.
On top of all this, Displace is ditching remotes for the TV. Instead, the product relies on gesture, voice, and touch controls to access and flip through content.
The item is not inexpensive. For one Displace TV and one base control unit, it costs $2,999; for four Displace TVs and one base control unit, it costs $8,999. Orders are currently being accepted on the company’s website, with shipping beginning in December 2023.
At least one well-known TV manufacturer will be its rival. Also at CES, LG revealed the 97-inch OLED M3, which transmits video up to 4K 120Hz wirelessly to the screen via a Zero Connect box that is kept physically apart from the TV.
