01The Problem

Televisions have become disposable.

A modern television is engineered to be replaced, not repaired.

The panel is bonded to the frame, the frame to the boards. One cheap fault — a power supply, a worn port — and the whole object is discarded. Tens of millions a year. Almost none opened first.

A wall-mounted conventional television, sealed and anonymous.

01Typical TV vs Relic TV

Two ways to build the same object.

The difference is not the screen. It is everything holding the screen.

Typical television

01Panel bonded to the frame with adhesive
02Power and logic on a single sealed board
03Ports soldered directly to the mainboard
04Processor fixed for the life of the product
05Plastic enclosure, snap-fit and glued
06A single failure ends the whole unit

Relic television

01Panel mounted, not bonded — removable
02Power, logic and radios on separate boards
03Ports on cards that slide out independently
04Compute on an upgradeable module
05Grade-5 titanium chassis, fastened
06Any part replaced without the others

A Different Philosophy

Products should outlive trends. The frame survives. The electronics evolve. The owner upgrades instead of replaces.

02A Different Philosophy

The enclosure becomes permanent architecture.

The chassis survives decades — a fixed, quiet object. Everything with a shorter life is a module inside it. A better processor is a new module; a new port standard, a new card. The object in the room never changes.

03Titanium Chassis

Grade-5 titanium. Machined to last.

Titanium is not chosen for prestige. It is chosen because it does not move, does not corrode, and does not need to be replaced.

Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V)

Aerospace alloy. Strong, light, dimensionally stable.

Bead-blasted finish

A fine matte surface that ages gracefully.

CNC machined

Cut from solid. Tolerances that hold for decades.

Fastened corners

Replaceable fasteners. Nothing bonded shut.

Service access

Every module reachable from the rear. No heat, no solvents.

Corrosion resistant

It does not rust. The frame outlives its owner.

Rigid by design

Stays flat and square. Panel and modules aligned.

Repairable

Designed from the first sketch to be opened.

Chassis

The frame, from every side.

04Replaceable Display

Only the panel is replaced.

The OLED panel is the one part with a known, finite life. So it is the one part designed to come out first.

01Release the rear service panel — four fasteners, no adhesive.
02Disconnect the single display ribbon.
03Lift the panel from its mounting rails.
04Seat the new panel; the chassis and every other module stay in place.

When a panel dims, everything else remains. You replace a component, not a television.

05Upgradeable Compute

A processor you can change.

The part that ages fastest is the part that is hardest to replace in every other television. Here it is a module.

Processor: Modular SoC
Memory: Socketed
Storage: Replaceable
Graphics: On-module
Interface: Single edge connector
Service: Tool-light, rear access

Imagine replacing the compute module every six to ten years, the way the rest of the industry replaces the whole television. Same screen. Same frame. New brain.

06Replaceable Connectivity

Ports that outlive their standards.

HDMI changes. USB changes. Wireless changes. The chassis should not have to.

HDMI: Card
USB-C: Card
Ethernet: Card
Wi-Fi: Card
Bluetooth: Card
Future standards: Same bay

01Each board slides out independently.
02A worn HDMI port is a five-minute card swap, not a new television.
03New standards arrive as new cards in the same bay.

07Audio

Sound that can be serviced.

Speakers wear. Amplifiers improve. Both should be removable.

Drivers: Removable modules
Amplifier: Separate board
Chamber: Machined, sealed
Upgrade path: Drop-in

Removable drivers, replaceable amplifiers, machined chambers. Sound you can maintain and improve.

08Cable Management

Nothing on show. Everything reachable.

Good maintenance begins with being able to see what you are maintaining.

01Hidden service channels route every cable out of sight.
02A single removable cover conceals the run.
03Installation stays clean; maintenance stays accessible.

09The Remote

A remote built to the same rules.

One piece of machined titanium. A backlit keyboard. A trackpad. A battery and electronics you can replace.

Held horizontally, it is a backlit keyboard with a thumb trackpad. It charges over USB-C. Like the television, it opens — battery and electronics replaceable — built to last as long as the screen it controls.

Machined, backlit, serviceable.

10Twenty Years Later

One frame. A lifetime of upgrades.

Ownership, imagined over time. The chassis is the constant; everything else is a considered upgrade.

Year 0
Original purchase
A titanium frame, an OLED panel, a compute module, connectivity cards, and speakers. One object.
Year 6
New processor
Replaced · Compute
The compute module is replaced. Faster, more capable — same screen, same frame.
Year 11
New display
Replaced · Display
The panel is swapped for a newer OLED. The frame it sits in has not moved in eleven years.
Year 18
New connectivity
Replaced · Connectivity
A connectivity card is changed for a new standard. A five-minute service, not a purchase.
Year 24
Still the original chassis
The titanium frame is unchanged — and unremarkable in its permanence. As intended.

11Exploded Engineering

Every part, in its place.

Select a component to see how it comes apart. Each is designed to be removed on its own.

The OLED panel — mounted, not bonded. Removed first, replaced alone.
The upgradeable processor module on a single edge connector.
A serviceable power board, isolated from logic so one failure stays contained.
A stack of independent port and radio cards.
Removable driver modules with machined acoustic chambers.
A passive titanium cooling plate — no fan to wear out.
A machined stand, or a flush wall mount. Both fastened, both removable.
The bead-blasted service panel — the way in, held by fasteners.
The companion titanium remote, built to the same rules.

12Manufacturing

Honest about what we make.

We are clear about what Relic engineers and what Relic sources.

The OLED panel is sourced; we do not claim to make screens. Relic engineers what determines how long the object lasts — the titanium enclosure, the thermal system, the modular electronics, the repair architecture. The one thing the industry refuses to build: a product made to be kept.

Sustainability

The most sustainable television is the one that never needs replacing.

13The Relic Ecosystem

One industrial language.

The television is one object in a longer idea: a family of things built to be kept, sharing one material and one set of rules.
