This 130-inch OLED TV sticks to a wall with suction tech

Mounting a jumbo-sized, multi-panel TV on a wall is no small feat, as you’ll need mounts for the individual panels, in-wall wiring to connect the components together, one or more videos controllers to feed images to the TVs, and possibly even a fake wall to hide all the cable clutter.
At CES this week (where it will also be showing off its next-generation wireless TV line, first unveiled in December 2022), Displace is promising to drastically chop the time and effort needed to install a massive TV array, with the 4K OLED Displace Wall designed to be mounted in just half an hour and without the need for any drills or wiring-hiding facades.
Arriving in two sizes—a 110-inch 4K display comprised of four 55-inch displays, and a 130-inch version with a quartet of 65-inch panels—the Displace Wall arrives with a custom frame that employs “active-loop” suction technology, meaning you can simply stick it to the wall.

Aside from not needing extra mounting hardware, the Displace Wall also dispenses with external video controllers, with each panel incorporating the necessary video wall functionality while a single “host TV” in the array acts as the primary connection point for the other panels.
For power, the Displace Wall relies on a removable 10,000 mAh/46.8-volt battery, meaning no need for power cables. How long will the battery keep the Display Wall running? Good question; we’ve reached out to Displace for more details.
Powered by Displace OS 2.0, an “ambient computing”-focused platform that turns each 1.26-inch thick panel into a “smart, responsive surface,” the Display Wall can display a single, jumbo-sized video images or four separate video feeds, according to Displace. You can also expand a video on one TV to the others with a simple gesture.
From a technical standpoint, the Displace Wall runs on a 8-core Intel N-300 CPU with integrated graphics, 32GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, while the panels themselves are capable of up to 40K resolution at 30Hz. The Wall can run completely wirelessly, but there’s also an HDMI port on the host TV for connecting external HDMI-enabled video sources.
Before you get too excited by the stick-up Displace Wall, consider the price: $39,999 for the 110-inch version or a whopping $59,999 for the 130-inch model. At those price points, the Displace Wall is more likely to wind up at trade shows and corporate lobbies rather than living rooms. The company’s existing 55-inch OLED sells for $5,999.
If you find Displace TV’s unique wall-mounting and truly wireless technologies appealing, the manufacturer will also be showing a module that can retrofit existing TVs with screen sizes between 55- and 100 inches and weighing up to 150 pounds. Displace TV has not announced pricing for that product.
