For Netflix fans who you may be worried about that a giant television would overwhelm his life room atmosphere, do not be afraid: The 165-inch C SEED M1 is a massive folding screen that disappears completely to the floor when not in use. Unfortunately, methe installation looks like a giant pain—and this assuming that it survives the shock of the adhesive.
Unlike companies like LG, that they have used flexible OLED display technology to deliver giant TVs that can quietly disappear into an unpretentious box when not in use; instead, C SEED uses microLEDs. MicroLED, that many consider the future of screen technology, combines the best features of today’s leading display technologies with self-illuminated RGB pixels that do not require backlight and without the degrading organic compounds used to make OLED displays. New display technology is also more energy efficient, allows for thinner screens, and can produce black and white that competes with today’s best TVs on the market.
The only downside is that microLED screens can’t be folded like OLEDs can, at least not yet. Therefore, to make the 165-inch TV disappear from the floor, C SEED designed the M1 to separate it first. five separate folding panels andamong them like a giant fan. This is the other advantage of microLED display technology: met allows you to mount much larger TVs from smaller panels, while perfectly hiding all seams, so the end result looks like a giant uniform screen.

We’ve all seen it The “jumbotron” screens intersected with black lines where the smaller panels didn’t line up perfectly, but C SEED promises it’s not a problem with the M1 thanks to a feature called Adaptive Gap Calibration, which detects when panels have slight shifts and automatically adjusts the brightness of the edge pixels to hide the shadows that create these unsightly seams.
The C SEED M1, available in gold, black or titanium finishes, can be yours for $ 400,000, but does not include the renovations needed to prepare a room for installation. If you want the full effect of a giant TV screen that disappears in your flat, you will need to get a contractor to make sure it is even possible for a room, and then there is the room below it to consider if you live in a multi-story house. If you live in an apartment or in an apartment in a tower, you will have to settle for other installation options, which include a giant box sitting on the floor for the M1 to fall on or matching decorative furniture to hide inside.
It seems like a lot of work just to disguise a TV, but wbiting the C SEED M1 slowly rises from the ground and then unfolds like the solar panels of a satellite that has just reached orbit is fascinating. It’s almost it makes having to wait a couple of minutes before being able to watch TV not seem as uncomfortable as it really is. Getting there is half the fun with the M1.
