Introducing the Auto Rotating Accessory

The Auto Rotating Accessory rotates the smart TV from landscape mode to portrait mode conveniently and safely so you can enjoy vertical video content and SNS media. In addition, this accessory is made with a DC motor for optimal gear ratio to provide a slim fit that does not interfere with TV viewing.
