The Loewe paper-thin Bild X OLED TV is magnetically suspended in a golden frame

German television manufacturer Loewe (pronounced something like “lo-eh-veh”) has revealed the Bild X, an astonishing screen that’s as much a work of art as it is a television. Loewe’s mission with the Bild x is to showcase its approach to blending screens in with our surroundings. Samsung has hidden screens inside frames like a painting, and LG’s displays can be so paper-thin they appear to be a window rather than a screen. Loewe has used magnets to suspend its screen inside a minimalist stainless steel frame, for a bezel-less, high-art visual experience.

The stainless steel frame comes in either matte black or amber gold, and like the OLED screen itself is incredibly thin. To stop it from toppling over, a disk is placed over the frame on the floor to ensure everything stays upright. It’s not a lump of weighted plastic, of course, but a piece of polished black marble. Alternatively a support in the shape of a cross, and made from steel, can be used.

But placing the Bild X on the floor isn’t the only option. The OLED screen is light and flexible, and the frame can be detached from the stand to be placed on the wall, where the magnets will hold the screen itself in place. The screen doesn’t reach the edge, and instead looks like it’s floating in the middle of the frame. The slender design means the Bild X fits snugly against any wall.

At this point, you may be questioning where all the equipment a television needs to operate is hidden. Where are the speakers? Where are all the cables? What we’re seeing here is the latest stage in the Bild X’s journey toward release, and the final design is still being worked on. Loewe says the TV is modular, and the firm is experimenting with cable management and with where to place all the components necessary to make it work.

Does this mean the Bild X, as seen here, will never be released? We put the question to Loewe, who told us mid-2018 is possible, and that it may become the next generation of its existing, and stylistically similar, Bild 9 TVs. The Bild 9 starts at more than $9,200, which gives us an idea of how much the Bild X may end up costing. The brand has been producing beautifully designed televisions for decades, making it highly likely the Bild X will go on sale in the future.

One of the best TVs ever made is below $2,000, and comes with expert delivery
Panasonic Z95A

When you look through our current list of the best TVs, there are exactly two TVs that should stand out to you, even if you're a casual skimmer. The first is the Sony A95L QD-OLED, simply because it is at the top of the list. The second is the Panasonic Z95A, not because it's the runner-up (which it is) but because it's... Panasonic. It's just not a brand we see making winning TVs, but wow, what a winner the Z95A is. We immediately called it one of the best TVs ever made, something that will be apparent to your eyes if you get it. Now, what's exciting about this TV right now is that it has a low price. You can get the 65-inch version of the TV for $1,998 right now, a savings of over $1,200 off its usual $3,200 price point. You can even get a deluxe delivery and unpack for free if you select the right option on the sales page (accessible by tapping the button below). But, this deal has been around for some time now, since around the start of summer. With Prime Day here and ending soon, it's very likely the time for this deal to end as well. If you want one of the best TVs ever for under $2,000, be sure to tap the button below now.

See, we have a whole list of the best TVs under $1,000, a price point that a ton of people that love TVs just don't feel comfortable crossing. Then, we have a separate list for budget TVs, the best TVs under $500.

This deal take the $600 55-inch TCL QM6K (one of the TVs in our 'under $1,000' list) and pushes its price down by $152. This puts it at a price of $448, which is an all time low for it on Amazon, transforms it into an 'under $500' TV. Tap the button below to get the transformative deal while Prime Day is still here or continue reading to see why we liked it so much even when it was over $500.
