The 43-in. TV pivots from a horizontal to a vertical orientation with a click of the remote. Its design is optimized to accommodate social media posts, streaming services and gaming—the kind of content you may be more familiar with viewing in vertical formats on your phone. The Sero also has optional wheels, so it can be moved around the house. _—Amy Gunia_ **Buy now:** [Samsung Sero](https://amzn.to/3f9M9Dq "undefined") ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Article","@id":"https://time.com/collections/best-inventions-2020/5911359/samsung-sero/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/collections/best-inventions-2020/5911359/samsung-sero/"},"headline":"The Vertical TV","datePublished":"2020-11-19T13:55:08.000Z","dateModified":"2026-03-02T23:46:37.226Z","description":"","url":"https://time.com/collections/best-inventions-2020/5911359/samsung-sero/","keywords":["list","franchise","best inventions","Best Inventions 2020"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt1a9ae8e8a27c80b6/698a1448b3fce30ad20c7652/best-inventions-of-2020-Samsung-Sero-0.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"TIME Staff","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/time-staff/"}],"creator":"TIME Staff","articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt1a9ae8e8a27c80b6/698a1448b3fce30ad20c7652/best-inventions-of-2020-Samsung-Sero-0.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/collections/best-inventions-2020/5911359/samsung-sero/","name":"The Vertical TV"}}]}] ```
