C Seed N1 Folding Television

The $220,000 C Seed N1 137-inch MicroLED TV that unfolds when you want to watch TV and folds away when you don’t!

Transcript

00:00Behind me is a $220,000 TV that puts Samsung's micro-LED the wall to shame.

00:06It's the N1 from Seaseed and it is a micro-LED TV but it's also a lot more.

00:11We're here checking out this mind-boggling TV at CES 2024 for the first time.

00:16Let's go take a closer look.

00:18If you've been waiting for a 137-inch folding 4K micro-LED TV, you're in luck.

00:23Australian brand Seaseed has just the product for you and it costs a mere $220,000.

00:31It's the company's newest model called the Seaseed N1 TV and here's the selling point.

00:35It folds in like an accordion so the idea is that you can fold it away,

00:39basically leave it stowed when it's not in use.

00:42If you have a beautiful home with magnificent floor-to-ceiling windows

00:45that you don't want obstructed on a daily basis,

00:48this would be the type of TV that offers you a there-when-you-want-it,

00:51gone-when-you-don't experience.

00:53It's because of micro-LED's modular nature that the N1 can fold up on itself,

00:58breaking apart at the seams of two modules,

01:00only to come back together the next time you want to turn the TV on.

01:04Yet what's cool is that you can't really see the seams or gaps when it's unfolded.

01:08Seaseed likes to talk about the set's adaptive gap calibration technology

01:12that can recognize where those splits are

01:14and correct the picture in a way that makes them practically invisible.

01:18We watched it fold in and out a few times,

01:20though we didn't get to see what it actually looks like folding downwards.

01:24Seaseed just had a prototype of the fully stowed design next to the operational TV.

01:29We also didn't get to see it rotate,

01:31but it can turn between 180 degrees so you can find the optimal viewing space in your mansion.

01:37This Seaseed TV can be purchased.

01:39It's made to order and takes about six months to get to your home.

01:42Now I know the price sounds ridiculous,

01:44but Seaseed asked me to think about it in the context of the premium market.

01:48$220,000 is how much some luxury cars cost,

01:52and the rich often spend a lot more than that renovating their homes.

01:56I mean, think about LG's rollable OLED TV that costs $100,000 and that's only 65 inches.

02:02You're getting 137 inches of micro LED for about double the cost.

02:07But I am dying to know what you think about the Seaseed N1 after seeing it in this video.
