Samsung bragged that its new super-thin bezel-free TV is so beautiful that it doesn't even have 'unsightly' screws in the back
"It's a giant leap forward in design," executive Dave Das said at the company's press preview. "We thought through even the smallest details, removing any unnessary features, including those unsightly screws in the back."
Das added that the gigantic television is actually the first bevel-less, curved screen on the market.
"We're very proud of this natural synergy that the TV reflects between design and engineering," he said.

However, I was very intrigued so my first move once the prepared remarks finished was to rush to see the back of the device.

And here's a side profile of the SUHD TV so you can see how slender it is:
I then approached a Samsung rep to see why they decided to get rid of the screws.
"With our 2016 models, we want to make sure that no matter where you're viewing the TV, no matter where you're placing it in your house, it's always going to look beautiful and gorgeous," she said.
So, screws are ugly?
"To some people, maybe!" she said.
