Super-slim screen with minimalist design

The Essence screen is a super-slim screen with minimalist design and real materials. The thinness of the screen makes the picture hug your wall. The frame around the picture is so small that it does only what it is intended for: framing the picture.

Single-cable connectivity hub to avoid cable clutter

Single-cable connectivity hub to avoid cable clutter

There is only one cable between the connectivity hub and screen. All cable clutter can be placed out of sight and connected through the connectivity hub. The cable includes power to the screen, so no additional power input is required for the screen.
