Draconator Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 (edited) This 4K TV sticks to any surface, without a wall mount. No cords as it runs on rechargeable battery power. No remote as it has a tiny camera on the TV that picks up hand gestures. Will be released at the end of 2023 for about $3000. All I need to do is sell a house at that time and I'm grabbing one of these! https://www.zdnet.com/home-and-office/home-entertainment/groundbreaking-wireless-tv-ditches-the-remote-and-sticks-to-any-wall-without-a-mount/ Edited January 5, 2023 by Draconator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBBills Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 (edited) No thanks, I don't trust things that are supposed to "stick" and costs $3k I would need a lifetime warranty for full replacement if it ever decided to stop "sticking" Edited January 5, 2023 by TBBills 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabattBlue Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 (edited) The hand gesture thing seems ridiculous. How can it replace something as simple as hitting one or two adjacent buttons on a remote to change a channel.

Greg S Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Newer isn't always better. Take washing machines as an example. They break down more easily with their electronics dashboard. Things go out of wack and you are lucky if you can get 5 years out of them. The washing machines from the 80's and 90's were so much better and they lasted much longer as well. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May Day 10 Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 what hand gestures will bring up the netflix app, go to the search function, then type in letters for what I am looking for? The alexa-powered (or other voice recognition app) remote works just fine. Other than the remote thing, I think it all sounds good, especially the charging function, however I wouldnt trust the first generation of it. I wonder how light it will be that it sticks? I also wonder what size is the $3,000 version. I just got a 75" TV mounted in my living room and it is 75 pounds and no sticking/adhesive would hold that up securely and safely. If there is an adhesive that would do the trick, Im sure it would tear out a chunk of drywall when it is time to replace the TV or move.

I'll stick with Samsung, LG, or Sony for my TVs, thank you very much. Edited January 5, 2023 by Mark80 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a reason some people refer to the "leading edge" as the "bleeding edge." I like to let the rich kids do the beta testing for me. Once the early bugs get fixed, the prices tend to drop significantly, making the second generation affordable and more reliable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warcodered Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Hand gestures you say....🖕 what channel is this? Sounds like they're overcomplicating something that people already know how to use just because they think it sounds cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabattBlue Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 (edited) For those who couldn’t be bothered to watch the 30 second video, it is “somehow” secured(and removed) using vacuumed suction cups. It does not use any kind of adhesive tape. Edited January 5, 2023 by LabattBlue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gugny Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 I've noticed that a lot of people are really into having the latest TV technology. To each his own, but I'm just not one of those guys. I've had the same LG television for about a decade and I'm still perfectly happy with the picture. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally agree.............but that's not what happened with plasma tv technology...........they discontinued it despite it being a superior picture to the LCD tech and it took many years for OLED to be readily available to replicate the deep blacks of plasma.........and only now are those starting to size up to anywhere near the cheaper panel technologies. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
