Giant 165-inch ‘folding TV’ designed by Porsche costs more than a two-bed house

Posted on : July 12, 2022

If you thought that LG's massive OLED TVs were expensive, think again.

Austrian company C SEED has unveiled its new N1 TV which costs more than a two bed flat would in most of the UK.

Starting at £152,000 (€180,000), the N1 is built out of the same metals used in planes and uses robotic technology to fold in and out of its base.

Available in 165, 137, and 103-inch sizes, the TV is billed as a 'minimalist sculpture' and 'kinetic work of art', which is presumably considered important for those super-rich who are looking for a classy screen to watch Love Island on.

Designed by Porsche Design Studio, the screen is undoubtedly high quality, using 4K MicroLED technology and HDR10+ support, promising no screen glare and 'truest' blacks.

The company has shared an impressive video of the TV folding out of its base like a piece of televisual origami that can be easily hidden away.

That's all very well and good, but if you need to get a new mortgage just to watch Netflix, you might want to consider your priorities.

The C SEED N1 isn't the only TV out there clocking in over £100k.

Last year, LG unveiled the world's biggest TV—a 325-inch monster screen called the Extreme Home Cinema.

The screen is so big that it lets you use multiple TV channels at once spread across a 26-foot-high wall in the mansion you would have to own in order to fit it, or you can scale it down to a petite 108 inches, which is more or less the height of a grizzly bear on its hind legs.

It even comes with a flight case in case you want to take it to your private island.
