(January 3, 2023) San Diego-based Displace TV is debuting a fascinating TV design at CES 2023: the world's first "truly wireless" TV.
While every other smart TV on the planet requires a power cord, Displace's 55" 4K TVs are powered by a proprietary hot-swappable battery system that promises about one month of total battery life considering six hours of use per day. That makes the lightweight design (under 20 lbs.) easy to transport and unshackles the need for placement near a wall socket. And thanks to an ingenious "active loop vacuum technology," Displace TVs can be quickly secured to any surface without permanent mounting.
Beyond a lack of wires and mounting concerns, Displace TVs can be used in combination with multiple Displace TVs to form any sized TV up to 110" (16K).
"Displace completely reinvents the television with its hardware and software technologies, and user interfaces that will not only change the way people enjoy entertainment in their homes, but will also advance the entire television industry," said founder and CEO Balaji Krishnan. "We envision a world with multiple displays on walls delivering significant value to the consumers wherever they are inside their homes. To achieve this vision, it's important to re-architect television by eliminating all common frustrations and making it extremely easy to secure televisions on any surface inside homes. By realizing this vision, Displace is effectively creating the next computing platform and the potential applications are limitless."
Displace TVs are primarily controlled by natural hand gesture movements, in addition to touch and voice interfaces, making them easy to browse, play and control content using hands. They also utilize facial recognition and computer vision technology, which enables content on Displace TVs to seamlessly switch between rooms when users move; this feature can be switched off for privacy reasons.
Reservations for Displace TV will be available on the Displace website starting January 5, 2023, with a fully refundable deposit. They are scheduled to begin shipping "late 2023."
