55 inch, 4K resolution, truly wireless TV that can be glued directly to the wall without mounting or drilling? It’s DisplaceTV.
Displace has created a battery-powered 55-inch TV that weighs less than 20 pounds and runs for a month on a single charge. The company says it can be easily moved from room to room thanks to proprietary active ring vacuum technology that helps it stick to walls or, in the case of CES, glass windows overlooking Las Vegas.
The TV features voice, touch, and gesture controls and doesn’t have a physical remote. The idea is to make the viewing experience more intuitive. Displace says up to 16 of these TVs can be combined to create commercial displays, effectively working seamlessly to increase screen size.
Each DisplaceTV unit will cost $2,999 when it releases in December and can be pre-ordered now for $299.
Wireless could be the name of the TV game at CES 2023, as LG also introduced the Zero Connect OLED TV, the recipient of the CES 2023 Innovation Award.
While it can’t stick itself to the wall like DisplaceTV, this giant 97-inch TV offers 4K resolution at up to 120Hz refresh rate. It comes with a separate Zero Connect box that can be placed anywhere near the TV, and LG says its proprietary algorithm determines the optimal transmission without delay.
The Zero Connect box tells the TV what to do and play, and to make it a true wireless TV, all the cables are connected to the box and not to the TV.

LG also announced new C, G and Z OLED TV models at CES 2023.
Roku TV is starting production and will start producing its own TVs as soon as spring 2023.

Samsung also made big announcements at CES, unveiling new 50-, 63-,76-, 89-, 101-, and 140-inch MicroLED TVs, though no pricing details are available yet.
The company’s MicroLED TVs are likely the fastest screens available on the market. Samsung boasts a response time of 2 nanoseconds, or 2 billionths of a second.
According to collaborator ZDNET Cho Mu Hyun“MicroLED uses micrometer-sized LEDs to represent individual pixels and does not use backlighting or color filters”, which can produce better contrast and color accuracy than traditional TVs on market.
MicroLED displays are notoriously oversized, often over 100 inches, so it’s possible that for the smaller sizes that have been announced, the hefty price tag that comes with the technology can also be brought down.
Hisense also announced new technology for its televisions: Mini LEDs will take center stage in the company’s new features.
New in-display technology most evident in Hisense’s 85-inch ULED X smart TV, will provide 16-bit lighting control for more precise dimming adjustments, as well as a peak brightness of 2,500 nits across 5,000 local dimming zones.
