All the TVs at CES that won’t ruin your interior decor

Television has come a long way since its inception — both in technology and design. But regardless of how thin or sleek a TV set may be, it can still sometimes throw off your home decor. 

I mean, there are literally tons of articles on the topic of “How to Disguise Your TV.” People put them behind cabinets, barn doors, or even mount a bunch of stuff up on the wall around them. 

But, if there’s one thing we realized at this year’s CES, it’s that major TV brands are listening. And they know you think their designs are ugly. 

Below, we’ve rounded up all of the TVs we saw on the show floor that don’t actually look like TVs.

Samsung Sero

The Samsung Sero stole the spotlight at CES, specifically because it’s a TV that rotates between landscape and portrait mode. But in terms of its actual design, it might be tough to tell just what it is when it’s turned off. 

The Sero sort of looks like an easel, complete with three legs as support. There’s also a version that comes with wheels, so you can push this thing around from room to room. Unfortunately, you can’t mount it, so you’ll have to carve out some floor space for it.

When you’re not busy using the 43-inch 4K screen to cast your videos and social media onto it,  you can use it as a display piece. You know, since this thing isn’t the most attractive when idle. Whether that’s projecting your photos onto it or streaming music, there are options to distract from its strange look.

Samsung Frame

While Samsung’s The Frame isn’t new, the company announced a few additional sizes and colors for it at CES. This year, it’ll be available in 32-inch and 75-inch sizes, with either beige or burgundy bezels. 

If you couldn’t tell by the name, this TV mimics the look of a picture frame. But, of course, the 4K UHD resolution is a lot brighter than your traditional painting. Talk about making a statement. 

When you’re not watching films or shows, you can use “Art Mode” to display different pieces of artwork. Samsung’s Art Store offers over 1,200 options, so it’s impossible to run out of something to display. 

LG’s roll-down OLED

Last year, LG debuted its LG Signature OLED TV R, which rolled up from a stand. This time around, the company went for the opposite effect. While still a concept, the 65-inch UHD TV rolls down instead. 

Rather than a stand, the mount attaches to the ceiling. When it drops down, it looks similar to a projector screen. That way, you can free up space that would otherwise be taken up by a stand. 

Although, if you have enough room in your house for this thing, then I highly doubt space is even an issue.

LG Gallery Series

While this definitely looks more like a TV than Samsung’s Frame, the new LG Gallery Series operates on a similar concept. But it will take a little bit more work to disguise.

It comes with a mount that allows it to hang completely flat on the wall. You know, as opposed to the clunkier wall mounts that cause your TV to unattractively stick out. 

While it doesn’t necessarily act as a piece of art, you can at least hang other pieces around it to create a very fancy gallery wall. All the framed photos or artwork will lay flush with the TV, so it won’t look super awkward. 

Sharp 30-inch Flexible OLED 

Initially introduced in Japan, the Sharp 30-inch Flexible OLED made its first appearance in the U.S. on this year’s CES show floor. 

Similar to LG’s OLED TV R, the Sharp 30-inch Flexible OLED comes with a rollable display. The TV rolls up from the stand to reveal a very thin, 0.5mm panel. Whenever you want to hide it, a push of a button triggers it to slide right back into the base.
