These were some of the most extravagant TV concepts at CES, from a screen that unfurls from your ceiling to a rotating model inspired by smartphones

LG showed off a "rollable" TV that might cost a whopping $60,000.

For the price of a year of tuition at a private university, this incredibly thin TV will recede into a small rectangular base that serves as a sound bar.

The TV also has Alexa built-in, which can be used to play music or other commands, even when the TV is rolled up.

The rollable model was first introduced at CES 2019, and LG hasn't officially listed a price yet. But the head of global marketing told CNET it would start at $60,000.

LG has been promoting TVs that roll up for a while now, but this year it introduced the first that rolls down from the ceiling.

The product hasn't actually launched yet, but it's an even sneakier way to hide your TV away when it's not in use.

They're just concepts for now, but LG showed off TVs that bend on command, too.

Who’s ready for bendy TVs? LG Display is showing off TVs that can bend on command, it’s still a concept but it seems like a cool way to get a curved set when you want it and a regular flat OLED when you don’t #CES pic.twitter.com/IqxVp4qqOC

Samsung's rotating Sero TV looks an overgrown smartphone, because it rotates between horizontal and vertical orientations, just like your phone.

Samsung hasn't said how much the 4K TV will cost yet ...

... but it seems to be an attempt to attract younger buyers, who are used to interacting with media on their phones.

The Samsung Q950 is super-thin, with an almost 99% screen-to-body ratio, meaning there are barely any distracting edges or bezels.

This impressive model is a mere 15 millimeters thick.

LG imagined a plane cabin with OLED screens throughout, plus 65-inch personal TVs for first-class passengers.

The displays, which curve along with shape of the cabin, are designed to help passengers "feel more openness in the narrow space of an enclosed cabin."

It's just a concept so far, but the design would mean each first-class passenger gets a standard, living room sized TV.

The TV screen could even replace windows for a better view.
