Is your TV wall mount dead? Displace Hub wants to prove it at CES

Displace wants to make wall-mounting a TV feel less like a weekend project. Ahead of CES 2026, it announced Displace Hub, a wall mounting system the company says can turn “any TV” into a truly wireless, smart display you can put on the wall in under 10 seconds.

The promise is a clean break from brackets, drilled holes, and the cable spaghetti that comes after. Displace says the Hub uses its active-loop suction to attach a TV to “any surface,” then relies on a built-in battery system so the screen can stay up without a visible power cord. It also says you can reposition the TV just as quickly.

That’s a big pitch for renters and anyone who rearranges rooms often, but the press release leaves key buying info unanswered, including price, battery runtime, and the real-world limits around TV weight and wall materials. If you’re unconvinced, maybe existing options are for you.

Three tech bets in one mount

Displace is stacking three ideas into one product: fast attachment, wire-free power, and a software layer. The company says the Hub works with TVs from 55 inches to 100 inches without permanent hardware.

On the smart side, Displace says Displace OS 2.0 brings an “ambient computing” feel to the screen, including a second-screen experience through Controller 2.0 that shows related info and controls while you watch. The Hub also includes two HDMI inputs for external devices, plus a safety feature Displace calls Landing Gear to reduce the risk of slips or detachments.

Where the promise gets tricky

“Any surface” and “any TV” sound great until you picture a 100-inch panel, a textured wall, and months of daily use. The suction system will need to hold up to dust, heat, and repeat mount-and-remove cycles, not just a clean demo wall.

Then there’s battery life. Displace calls the setup “truly wireless,” but it hasn’t shared runtime, charging method, or what happens when power drops mid-session. If the Hub turns power into the new friction point, the “no cables” win starts to look more complicated.

What to watch before you pre-order

Displace says it’ll demo the Hub at CES 2026 and open pre-orders during the show. If you’re shopping, treat the demo like a stress test: multiple surfaces, multiple TV sizes, and repeat cycles without fuss.

The takeaway: enjoy the concept, but wait for pricing and battery specs before committing. Those two details will decide whether Displace Hub replaces your mount, or just replaces one headache with another.
