After making noise at previous CES shows, Displace is heading back to CES 2026 with something far more ambitious than a concept demo. This year, the company behind the world’s first truly wireless television is rolling out two headline products: the Pro TV 2 65-inch OLED 4K TV, which Displace is positioning as the first AI-native television, and the new Displace Hub, a wall-mounting system designed to turn virtually any TV into a clean, cable-free smart display.
The pitch is simple—and provocative: no power cords, no signal cables, and a smarter, more flexible way to mount and manage large screens on the wall. Whether this is the future of TV installation or just the next bold swing, Displace clearly isn’t coming to CES 2026 to blend in.
What Displace TV Actually Is — and Why It Matters at CES 2026
Here are the core features of the Displace TV concept and what makes it unique in the market.
True Wireless Connectivity: Displace TV is designed to operate with no external wires and no visible ports on the display itself. Instead, the screen connects wirelessly to a separate base unit that plugs into a standard electrical outlet and can be placed discreetly in a closet, cabinet, or another room within the home. All wired source components—streamers, game consoles, cable or satellite boxes—connect to this base unit, which then transmits power and audio/video signals wirelessly to the display, enabling a clean, cable-free wall installation.
Easy Wall Mounting: A Displace TV is mounted by simply bringing the display close to the wall and applying light pressure. The set adheres using Displace’s proprietary active-loop vacuum technology, eliminating the need for traditional wall brackets, screws, or visible mounting hardware. The result is a clean, flush installation that looks more like a floating panel than a conventional TV mount.
Rechargable Battery System: Displace TVs us internal rechargeable batteries. If battery levels drop too low to safely maintain wall adhesion and are not recharged, the TV is designed to automatically slide down the wall in a controlled manner using Displace’s Self-Lowering Landing Gear Technology, preventing sudden detachment or damage.

Display Pro TV 2: AI-Native Wireless TV
The Displace Pro TV 2 is designed to address growing consumer demand for more interactive, personalized television experiences—ranging from direct purchasing and customized content discovery to productivity-focused use cases that extend beyond passive viewing.
At the core of Pro TV 2 is a privacy-first, multimodal AI architecture that operates directly on the wall-mounted display. Dedicated on-board NPUs and TPUs enable substantial local AI processing, supporting voice and gesture control, computer-vision–based personalization, and finely tuned local models without relying entirely on the cloud. Paired with OS 2.0, the system reframes the TV as an always-available ambient computing hub rather than a traditional one-way screen.
Pro TV 2 AI Features:
- Pause-to-Shop: When content is paused, the TV identifies relevant products within the scene and surfaces purchasing options aligned with the user’s preferences, using a hybrid approach that combines local AI with cloud-based services.
- Personalized Video News Agent: Users can select text-based media sources—such as The Verge or TechCrunch—and Pro TV 2 automatically generates customized video news channels based on those outlets and individual viewing preferences.
- Live Conversational Search: Using the handheld controller’s voice button, users can ask natural language questions—such as requesting a specific movie scene or clip—and the system interprets the request, locates the content, and plays it directly.
In short, Pro TV 2 isn’t just adding AI features for the sake of buzzwords—it’s positioning the television as a smarter, more responsive interface that blends entertainment, information, and interaction into a single wall-mounted experience.
Gesture Control: Using on-device computer vision, the Displace Pro TV 2 can detect hand gestures and recognize faces, allowing users to control key functions—such as navigation and playback—without relying on the physical controller. All visual processing is handled locally on the TV, reinforcing Displace’s privacy-first approach while enabling more natural, touch-free interaction.
Second Screen Experience (Controller 2.0): With Controller 2.0, the Pro TV 2 adds a synchronized second-screen experience. As users browse menus or watch content, contextual information and interactive controls appear on the controller’s built-in display and update in real time alongside what’s shown on the TV. The goal is to reduce on-screen clutter while keeping deeper controls and supplemental information immediately accessible in the user’s hand.
Privacy-First AI Design: Dedicated local NPUs and TPUs and the company’s proprietary browser-based OS architecture ensure sensitive personal data is processed and retained on the device itself. The result is personalized, AI-driven functionality delivered locally—without forcing users to trade privacy for intelligence.

On paper, this reads less like a conventional TV spec sheet and more like a compact AI workstation bolted to the wall—which is exactly the point Displace is trying to make.
Taken together, the spec list reinforces Displace’s core pitch: high-end visuals, AI that runs locally, and interaction features that don’t require handing over your data—or your living room—to the cloud.
Balaji Krishnan, Founder and CEO of Displace, says “Displace is redefining TV with a cutting-edge, true smart screen, using built-in AI chips that deliver true ambient experiences without compromising user privacy. The Pro TV 2 unlocks highly personalized AI experiences that feel effortless and intuitive, paving the way for a new era where the TV becomes a true smart computer on your wall.”
Displace Hub
In addition to the Pro TV 2, Displace will also showcase the Displace Hub, a wall-mounting platform designed to turn virtually any TV into a truly wireless, wall-mounted smart display.
The Displace Hub integrates four core technologies:
- Active-loop suction mounting: Securely mounts compatible TVs to nearly any surface in under 10 seconds, without drilling or permanent hardware.
- Built-in battery system: Provides true wireless operation, eliminating the need for a nearby power outlet.
- Displace OS 2.0: Extends Displace’s ambient computing platform to any wall-mounted screen, adding system-level intelligence beyond basic smart TV functions.
- Second-screen experience (Controller 2.0): Enables synchronized controls and contextual information on the handheld controller, reducing on-screen clutter.
Designed for flexibility and mobility, the Displace Hub supports TVs ranging from 55 to 100 inches, weighing up to 150 pounds, and allows users to reposition displays without tools, wall damage, or permanent installation—an approach that challenges how large TVs are traditionally mounted and managed in the home.
Battery Life Considerations: The Displace Hub offers shorter battery endurance than Displace TVs with batteries integrated directly into the display. Displace estimates the Hub’s battery life at approximately five to 10 hours, depending on usage and TV size. The Hub can be recharged while the TV remains mounted, as long as it is connected to AC power. That convenience comes with an obvious trade-off, however—once plugged in, the Hub’s operation is no longer fully wireless.
Displace OS 2.0: Bringing AI and Ambient Computing to Any Wall-Mounted TV
Through Displace OS 2.0, any TV connected to the Displace Hub gains access to Displace’s expanded AI-enabled feature set, effectively transforming a standard display into an ambient smart screen. The platform enables an enhanced second-screen experience via Controller 2.0, allowing users to browse menus or watch content while contextual information and interactive controls appear on the controller’s display and stay synchronized with the TV in real time.
The Hub includes two HDMI inputs, allowing external source devices—such as streamers or game consoles—to connect directly to the system. Also integrated is Displace’s proprietary Landing Gear safety technology, a built-in mechanism designed to prevent accidental slips or detachments during mounting, adding an extra layer of protection for both the display and the surrounding space.
Balaji Krishnan, Founder and CEO of Displace, says “Traditional wall mounting is complicated, clunky, and expensive, and most people can’t install it by themselves. Displace Hub changes that. With it, consumers can mount any screen to the wall in 10 seconds, connect it to the built-in battery power, make it completely wireless, and instantly experience its AI-powered intelligence with Displace OS 2.0. This is how we bring ambient computing into every home and move towards a world where smart screens go beyond entertainment.”
The Bottom Line
Displace occupies a genuinely rare position in the TV market as the only brand delivering a completely wireless television—and that distinction matters. Unlike LG’s M-Series OLED and OLED-T models, which still require an AC power cable to the panel, Displace removes all visible wires from the display itself. Yes, both approaches rely on an external box to transmit content wirelessly, but Displace is the only one cutting the power cord entirely. That’s not marketing spin—that’s a real architectural difference.
What makes the CES 2026 push more interesting, however, is Displace’s aggressive move into on-device AI. Pro TV 2’s local NPUs, TPUs, computer vision, and privacy-first design suggest a future where TVs act less like dumb endpoints and more like ambient computing surfaces—responsive, personalized, and present without being intrusive. For consumers, that could mean smarter discovery, more relevant information, and fewer cloud dependencies. The upside is obvious. The risks? Less so.
The real wildcard is the Displace Hub. If Displace can successfully graft its AI-driven OS 2.0 onto non-Displace TVs, it potentially opens the door to a much larger audience—but also raises real questions. How does Displace OS coexist with Samsung Tizen, LG webOS, or Google TV running underneath? Who controls content discovery? Advertising? Recommendations? And when AI starts surfacing products, news, or “helpful” suggestions—does that enhance what you watch, or quietly steer it?
Displace is clearly betting that consumers want smarter screens without surrendering privacy. If they can thread that needle—especially across third-party TVs—the payoff could be significant. If not, the tech risks becoming clever, expensive, and just a little too curious for comfort. CES 2026 should make it very clear which direction this is heading.
Price & Availability
No word on pricing or shipping yet, although we’re told Displace will be accepting pre-orders for Pro TV 2 and HUB during CES 2026 at booth #21626 (Central Hall) in the LVCC (Las Vegas Convention Center).
However, with the 55-inch Displace Pro TV (1st Gen) selling (backordered) on the company website for $5,999, we’d expect the 65-inch Pro TV 2 to cost even more.
