Televisions are changing everyday. Very soon you will be able to carry your TVs anywhere, as you would your smartphone, phablet etc.

LG Electronics just showed off a 55-inch flexible OLED ''Wallpaper'' television that you can hang to the wall like a calender or newspaper using a magnetic mat, and can be removed  when you are  through watching a movie by gently peeling it off the wall. The South Korean giant displayed the tech at an event  in Korea on Tuesday.
The LG 55-inch Wallpaper TV, which weighs in at just 1.9kg and less than 1mm thick, is a prototype of an OLED TV.

You will recall that in July of 2014, LG also showed off two new prototypes: an 18-inch flexible TV that is rollable and a transparent panel that makes it possible to see what is behind the screen. The 18-inch OLED TV has a resolution of 1200 X 800 you can roll it up to a radius of 3 centimeters without altering the function of the display.
